How is the R7M Display Powered? Do I Need Extra Wiring?

No additional wiring required - R7M powered directly by BMW Navigation Cradle

Updated over 3 weeks ago

No Additional Wiring Required

One of the key advantages of the RiderNav R7M Display is its seamless integration with your BMW motorcycle's existing electrical system. The R7M is powered directly through the BMW Navigation Cradle, eliminating the need for any additional wiring, splicing, or electrical modifications.


How It Works:

The R7M utilizes your BMW's factory navigation mount, which is already connected to your motorcycle's power system. This means:

βœ“ Plug-and-play installation - No electrical work required
βœ“ Clean setup - No exposed wires or additional cables
βœ“ OEM integration - Uses BMW's original power connection
βœ“ Secure mounting - Locks with your BMW key for theft protection

Installation Steps:

  1. Insert the R7M Display into your BMW Navigation Cradle

  2. Lock it securely using your BMW motorcycle key

  3. Ride - The device powers on automatically when your ignition is on

Power Management:

The R7M automatically receives power when your motorcycle is running and powers down when the ignition is turned off, just like the original BMW Navigator would function.

Compatibility:

This power system works with all BMW motorcycles equipped with the standard BMW Navigation Cradle (Wonder Wheel mount).
