Designed for BMW GS bikes MY 2013 till present. WARNING: the GS in your motorcycle model name is really important. GS line is not the same like other BMW Motorrad line-ups.
However the following compatibility requirements need to be met:
- Manufacturing year 2013 and newer (! manufacturing year, not the year when the bike was first purchased!);
- Motorcycle is equipped with BMW Multi-Controller;
- “navigation” option is enabled in the motorcycle firmware. All Adventure models have that option enabled, if they came with the “Preparation for navigation kit” installed as standard accessory. Other models will have the navigation option enabled, if the BMW Navigator V or VI Mount Cradle is installed on them now or was installed in the past. You do NOT need the BMW Navigator Mount Cradle to use BCMD Hub;
- Motorcycle models is among “GS” line, unless another specific model is declared by Carpe Iter as compatible (please check this product page or section of our website dedicated to BMW Control for updated list of other compatible models – the list will grow as we continue to test more motorcycle models).
- for BMW Control Buttons, you need a bike with e-throttle grip (not the older, thin bowden style). Please check BMW Control Buttons description for details.

It is a brand new device and although we took great care to ensure the broadest possible compatibility, we could not test every individual GS model introduced by BMW Motorrad over the past decade. Should you encounter any issues on your bike, please let us know and we will do our best to make it work😉 And if we can’t make it work within couple weeks, you can return the kit and we will reimburse full price and cost of return shipping (please contact our support before you will ship – if you live outside EU or would plan to use courier service, we can arrange return shipping for you (we most likely have better shipping rates than what you can get as private individual).
