CONTROL YOUR GARMIN XT2 OR THREAD 2 WITH THE BMW WONDER WHEEL !
NOTE - *Only Garmin Tread 2 'powersport' (6 inch version), not suitable with Tread 2 SXS/OVERLAND/XL OVERLAND editions.
With this adapter you can mount the Garmin Zumo XT2 or Garmin Tread 2* onto the BMW Navigator mount. Thanks to the Multi-controller, also known as the Wonder Wheel, you can easily operate your Garmin directly from the handlebars.
With a simple turn of the wheel, you can zoom in and out and even assign extra functions to the button for an enhanced riding experience.
POWER AND CONTROL TO YOUR GARMIN
How does it work? The adapter connects to the original BMW Navigator mount. This gives your Garmin device both power and the handlebar control signal from the Wonder Wheel.
•The Garmin thinks a Garmin handlebar remote is connected.
•The BMW thinks a BMW Navigator is connected.
•The adapter acts as the bridge between these two systems.
Result: seamless control of your Garmin through the BMW Wonder Wheel !
FUNCTION CONTROL
As mentioned, we 'translate' the Wonder Wheel signal into the signal used by the Garmin handlebar remote. The image shows the Garmin remote next to the BMW handlebar. This remote has four buttons: Plus (+), Minus (-), Triangle, and Circle.
In the Zumo XT2 menu, you can assign specific functions to these buttons. The plus and minus buttons are often used for zooming, which disables the long-press function on those buttons. The triangle and circle buttons can be assigned two functions: one for a short press and one for a long press.
Our adapter translates the input as follows:
•Turn up: Plus button on the handlebar remote
•Turn down: Minus button on the handlebar remote
•Press wheel inward (right): Triangle button
•Press wheel outward (left): Circle button
•Long-press on the triangle or circle also works for the second programmed function
WITH OR WITHOUT LOCK ADAPTOR?
Most BMW motorcycles come with a pre-installed mount that can be locked and unlocked using your motorcycle key. By ordering the version with the lock adapter, you can also lock the Zumo XT2 or Tread 2 with the same key.

DEVELOPED AND MANUFACTURED IN EUROPE
Injection moulded rather than 3D printed the Wonderwheel adaptor is tough and rugged enough for a long life. In addition the material is resistant to heat, sunlight and petrol.
