JQ Werks Madtrace GEN2 Podium Steering Wheel System – BMW F-Series

The JQ Werks Madtrace GEN2 Podium system combines a quick-release steering hub with programmable controls for the compatible BMW F-Series models listed below. CAN-bus and LIN-bus integration retain supported factory functions and add vehicle-dependent control of functions such as lights, wipers and traction control.

The 6061-T6 aluminium hub has eight buttons, two joystick controls, three stored profiles and RevLED shift lights. Choose the correct vehicle/transmission and paddle arrangement, then add the accessories you need. Manual cars can use programmable paddles for functions other than gear changes.

The base system does not include a steering wheel rim. Compatible MOMO rims are optional. The OLED display fits in place of the standard horn cap.

Choose your configuration

1. Transmission: select Manual (MT) or Automatic (AT) to match your car; automatic includes the supported automatic/DCT application. Check the vehicle compatibility list before ordering.
2. Paddle shifter: no paddles is for MT only. A single pair has one paddle per side (two total); dual pairs have two per side (four total). Both paddle arrangements suit supported MT and AT applications. Manual-car paddles operate programmable auxiliary functions; they do not provide paddle-operated gear changes.

Optional accessories

• OLED Driver Information Display: an optional screen that replaces the standard Madtrace horn cap. It provides on-wheel button setup, profile switching, display/backlight adjustment and supported vehicle information. Select it only once; it is not part of the base hub price. View OLED display.
• ENP finish kit: choose the matching single- or dual-paddle finish kit for electroless nickel-plated paddles, quick-release ring, knobs and hardware. Only the kit matching your selected paddles is offered; it changes their finish rather than adding another paddle pair. It is not offered with the no-paddles configuration. View ENP finish kit.
• Steering wheel rim: choose a pictured MOMO wheel or Hub system only if you already have a compatible 6×70 mm rim. The Montecarlo is 350 mm in black Alcantara with black stitching; Mod.78 and flat-bottom Mod.88 are 320 mm in black suede. The rim is an additional product and is not included unless selected.

Included as standard: CAN-bus integration and RevLED shift lights. You do not need to buy the Clubsport CAN-bus accessory for a Podium system.
