Introducing the pinnacle of racing innovation – the JQ Werks Madtrace® Racing Steering Wheel System for BMW E Chassis. Our primary goal was to revolutionize convenience, and we've achieved this by introducing an unparalleled wireless racing experience. Say goodbye to the complexities of electronics and cables. Each component is crafted from CNC-machined Hard Anodized Billet Aluminum, ensuring unmatched durability in the most challenging racing conditions.
100% Plug and Play integration - No Coding Required
As an engineering company, our fundamental concept is to create an authentic plug-and-play steering wheel that operates free from any fault codes. In contrast to other racing steering wheel systems overly reliant on the factory control module, our approach involves decoding the factory's original microcontroller system to facilitate communication and the passage of signals through the vehicle's DME. This eliminates the need for intricate setup processes. At the core of our product lies our internally developed integrated circuit board. This innovation guarantees flawless compatibility with all factory multifunctions and paves the way for boundless future expandability. Additionally, we present LED-backlit front buttons that can be adjusted in brightness based on factory controls and sensors.

To elevate your driving experience, the DCT version comes equipped with our magnetic paddle shifters module. Additionally, both carbon fiber paddles and aluminum paddles are now included in the kit as standard components.
Free To Use Buttons (FTU)
In addition to retaining all the factory multifunctions on the OEM steering wheel, we have incorporated two customizable Free to Use buttons. These buttons can be programmed according to your desired configuration and act as direct-acting switches. Terminal wires are supplied that can be easily connected to factory socket pins, routed through the connectors, and made ready for a seamless connection.
Note: Please be aware that the JQ Werks Madtrace Racing Steering Wheel System is ONLY designed for off-road, track use, racing, and competition purposes. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that the JQ Werks Madtrace Racing Steering Wheel System complies with local government laws and regulations regarding required vehicle safety equipment. Moreover, it is strictly prohibited to install this system on any motor vehicle subject to state safety inspection. It is of utmost importance to understand that our Racing Steering Wheel is solid, which could result in bodily injury in the event of a car accident. For this reason, removing the factory airbag poses a significant safety risk and should never be attempted while utilizing factory 3-point seat belts. Instead, JQ Werks Madtrace strongly recommends to use 6-point racing harnesses with racing roll-bar for off-road use to ensure their safety.
Please note that these considerations may vary depending on the country or region you operate in. It's always best to consult with legal professionals who are familiar with the laws and regulations in your specific area and industry to ensure you are fully compliant with all relevant legal requirements.
