KMP has developed a BMW GT3 style racing wheel. This BMW GT3 style wheel makes looking at the dashboard easier. There are 8 buttons with 4 that are free to configure. Due to the use of ergonomic grips the wheel feels very comfortable and it has the perfect shape and grip even with racing gloves.
If an OEM steering wheel is removed, there will be several errors active. The racing wheel has specially developed electronics inside which simulate the OEM wheel with the possibility to take over some original functions such as M1 and M2. Another benefit is the possibility to control the DTC (dynamic traction control) directly from the wheel, instead of the mid-console.
Free to use buttons
A ‘free to use’ button can be used for anything you want. These buttons are switched to ground, and can be used with the supplied flying leads. The flying leads are connected into the back of the slip ring (dashboard side). Connect an external timer, flash light or anything you would like to control directly from your racing wheel. The wiring for each custom function needs to be done by the customer. The plug and play solution makes sure there are no ECU error messages and no airbag light will turn on after installation.
The function names will be laser engraved in the label plates of the steering wheel. If the functions on the ‘Free to use’ switches are already known, please add this as a note to the order. If the function names are not supplied at order, there will not by any engraving at these switch positions.
