With the ACV LFB BMW/Mini 40Pin Quadlock IBus steering wheel remote control, you have the ability to easily and conveniently control your BMW/Mini sound system. Thanks to the 40Pin Quadlock IBus technology, you can fully control your audio experience and safely enjoy your favorite music at the push of a button.

If you want to exchange your factory radio for an aftermarket radio, you should retain the original steering wheel remote control functions.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, functionality, and software of the retrofit device, certain operating functions may be omitted or replaced by other functions.

Compare the illustrated plugs of the adapter with those in your vehicle and ensure that they fit visually and technically.

Please also check if one of the specified original factory radios was installed in your vehicle.

Before the final assembly, you should check the functions of your vehicle, the vehicle settings, and the steering wheel remote control for their functionality.
