🏍️ BS Series BMW Motorcycle Compatibility Guide
Wonder Wheel Control & Data Sync for BMW Motorcycles
Check if your BMW model is compatible with W702BS, W602BS, or W502BS below.
⚠️ IMPORTANT - Device Compatibility:
This guide applies to:
- ✅ Carpuride W702BS
- ✅ Carpuride W602BS
- ✅ Carpuride W502BS
All three models share the same BMW motorcycle compatibility requirements.
💡 BS Series vs Other BMW Products
What makes BS series different?
Unlike other Carpuride BMW products (such as W702B, W702B Pro), the BS series offers advanced integration:
- ✅ Wonder Wheel Control Support - Full integration with BMW's OEM control system
- ✅ Motorcycle Data Sync - Display motorcycle information (speed, gear, fuel, TPMS) on screen
- ✅ TFT Dashboard Integration - Seamless connection with BMW's TFT display system
- ⚠️ Stricter Compatibility Requirements - Requires original, unmodified BMW Cradle and specific motorcycle models
📌 Note: If you only need CarPlay/Android Auto display without Wonder Wheel control or motorcycle data sync, consider our other BMW-compatible products (W702B, W702B Pro, etc.). These products have simpler compatibility - they work with any BMW motorcycle that has a navigation bracket capable of powering the device. As long as it can be mounted and powered, it's compatible.
What is the BS Series?
The BS series (W702BS, W602BS, W502BS) are premium motorcycle CarPlay/Android Auto screens specifically designed and adapted for BMW motorcycles equipped with an original navigation bracket and OEM control system. Unlike universal motorcycle displays, these devices integrate seamlessly with your BMW's existing electronics.
✨ Key Features
- No wiring required - Powered directly through BMW's original navigation bracket
- OEM integration - Works with BMW's Wonder Wheel control system
- Plug-and-play - Simply mount and connect via the 3-pin navigation interface
- TPMS compatible - Reads tire pressure data from your BMW motorcycle
- TFT dashboard sync - Displays motorcycle information on the screen

⚠️ Special Note: F800R
F800R do not come with Mount Cradle from factory.
While it is possible to install an aftermarket Mount Cradle on these models, we cannot guarantee compatibility with BS series devices. These models are listed as incompatible to avoid potential issues.
If you own F800R:
- ⚠️ Factory configuration does not include navigation bracket
- ⚠️ Aftermarket Cradle installation is possible but compatibility is uncertain
- ⚠️ We recommend contacting service@carpuride.com before purchasing to discuss your specific setup
- ⚠️ Purchase at your own risk if you choose to proceed with aftermarket Cradle
📋 Important Compatibility Requirements
1️⃣ R1250GS (2019 Model) - Special Requirement
⚠️ Important for 2019 R1250GS Owners:
To be perfectly compatible with the BS series, the 2019 model of the R1250GS requires a specific navigation bracket:
- Product Number: 10396481
- Manufacturer Number: 65908535826
Please verify your bracket version before purchasing.
2️⃣ 3-Pin Navigation Interface
If your BMW motorcycle has a 3-pin navigation interface but does not have an original navigation bracket installed:
- ✅ You can purchase an original BMW navigation bracket separately
- ✅ Once the bracket is installed, the BS series devices will work with your motorcycle
- ✅ The bracket provides both mounting and power connection
💡 Tip: Contact your BMW dealer to purchase the original navigation bracket compatible with your motorcycle model.
3️⃣ TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
If your BMW motorcycle has built-in TPMS:
- ✅ BS series devices can read and display tire pressure data from your motorcycle
- ✅ The data is transmitted from your motorcycle's existing TPMS system
- ✅ No additional accessories needed
If your BMW motorcycle does NOT have built-in TPMS:
✅ Add TPMS Functionality
You can still monitor tire pressure by purchasing compatible TPMS accessories from our website:
- ✅ TPMS sensors designed for motorcycle use
- ✅ Compatible with all BS series devices
- ✅ Easy installation on your motorcycle tires
- ✅ Real-time tire pressure monitoring on your Carpuride screen
💡 Tip: Browse our TPMS accessories or contact service@carpuride.com to find the right TPMS solution for your BMW motorcycle.
⚠️ Note: BS series devices do not have built-in tire pressure sensors. They display TPMS data from either your motorcycle's existing system or from separately purchased TPMS accessories.
4️⃣ Motorcycles Without TFT Dashboard
If your BMW motorcycle does not have a TFT screen on the dashboard:
✅ Good News for Non-TFT Models
If your motorcycle does not have a TFT screen but meets the following conditions, BS series devices may still support Wonder Wheel control and motorcycle information sync:
- ✅ Your motorcycle has the original BMW Cradle (navigation bracket) installed
- ✅ The Cradle has not been modified or altered
- ✅ Your motorcycle has the OEM control system (Wonder Wheel)
- ✅ Data can be transmitted through the contacts on the original navigation bracket
⚠️ Compatibility May Vary
While many non-TFT motorcycles with original, unmodified Cradles work well with these devices, compatibility can vary based on:
- Model year (especially 2013/2014/2015 models - see warning above)
- Specific motorcycle configuration and options
- Cradle version and part number
Recommendation: If you own a BMW motorcycle without a TFT screen, especially from 2013-2015, please contact our customer service team at service@carpuride.com before purchasing to verify compatibility with your specific configuration.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: My BMW model/year is not on the compatibility list. Can I still use BS series?
If your motorcycle model or year is not listed (including models in the "without user feedback" section), please email our customer service team at service@carpuride.com with your motorcycle's year, model, and whether it has a 3-pin navigation interface. We'll verify compatibility and provide the latest information.
Q2: What's the difference between W702BS, W602BS, and W502BS?
All three models are compatible with the same BMW motorcycles and share the same compatibility requirements. The main differences are in screen size and some features. Check the individual product pages for detailed specifications and feature comparisons.
Q3: What do I need to purchase to use BS series devices?
Required: One of the BS series devices (W702BS, W602BS, or W502BS) and the original BMW navigation bracket. If your BMW doesn't have the bracket, purchase it from your BMW dealer. Optional: TPMS accessories if your motorcycle doesn't have built-in tire pressure monitoring. How to check: Look for a 3-pin navigation interface on your motorcycle's handlebar area (usually covered by a cap if no navigation is installed).
Q4: Can I use BS series on multiple BMW motorcycles?
Yes! As long as each motorcycle is on the compatible list and has the original BMW navigation bracket, you can move the BS series device between motorcycles. Simply unmount from one bike and mount on another. All your settings and data will remain on the device.
Q5: Will firmware updates improve compatibility with my motorcycle?
We regularly release firmware updates that may improve compatibility and add new features. However, if your motorcycle model is listed as incompatible, firmware updates may not change the fundamental hardware compatibility. Always check the current compatibility list before purchasing.
