Help Needed for Direct Steering Wheel, Gear System, and Motion Simulator Integration with Oculus Que

Hello,
 
I am working on integrating a direct steering wheel and gear system into Oculus Quest 3 without requiring a PC. My goal is to enable a seamless experience where physical steering and gear shifting are accurately reflected in a VR car or flight simulation game.
 
Issues & Questions:
Connecting an External Steering Wheel and Gear System:
 
How can I connect an external steering wheel and gear system directly to Quest 3?
Is it possible for Quest 3 to read external inputs via USB or Bluetooth?
Are there any solutions using OpenXR, Oculus SDK, or other APIs to integrate external controllers natively within Quest?
Can Quest handle these peripherals without requiring PCVR?
Synchronizing VR View with Motion Simulator Movements:
 
How can I attach Oculus controllers to the moving part of the simulator to track movement data?
When controllers are fixed to the simulator as a reference point, how can I ensure the VR view correctly matches head movements?
Are there any OpenXR-based or other tracking solutions that allow accurate positional tracking in a motion simulator environment?
If anyone has experience with this type of integration or can point me in the right direction, I’d greatly appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
