Description
Perfect integration between your BMW and your Garmin device
With this adapter, you can mount the Garmin Zumo XT2/XT3 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.
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 translation
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 adapter?
On most BMW motorcycles, the pre-installed cradle is equipped with a lock that you can lock and unlock using your motorcycle key.
The new BMWs feature electronic unlocking. Do you want to be able to lock the Zumo using an adapter? Then order the lock adapter along with it.
Please ensure you choose the correct version for your motorcycle/cradle!
Compatibility
The WW adapter works on the following models (obviously only if the motorcycle is factory-fitted with a wonder wheel and the original BMW navigation system):
BMW R1200GS (2013)
BMW R1250GS (2019)
BMW R1250GSA (2024)
BMW R1300GS (2025)

The Touratech handlebar riser also makes riding while standing less tiring which is of tremendous benefit to taller riders in particular.
The overall result is a noticeable increase in stamina and concentration.
