Compatibility
The WunderLINQ is designed to work with BMW motorcycles that have the BMW Multi Function Controller (WW), On-Board Computer Pro option and fitted with the Navigation Prep option. Essentially, any BMW motorcycle equipped to utilize the BMW Nav 5/6 GPS units will work with the WundeLINQ. To confirm your bike has these options please check your bikes build sheet via a VIN lookup app/site. In general most BMW motorcycles manufactured post 2013 have the aforementioned options. How these options are implemented and ultimately how the WunderLINQ will function is dependent on the model/year. Please see the list of Model/Year function notes.
Please note only the official BMW Navigation Prep cradle is supported.
