Introducing the WunderLINQ

The WunderLINQ is plug-n-play system that gives the rider full control of their smartphone via BMW’s multi-controller. Control of a smartphone's navigation, media and communication functions all while riding without the rider removing their hands from the handlebars. The WunderLINQ provides the rider substantially greater functionality over the OEM navigation system at a significantly lower cost.
