Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System For BMW G Chassis
Description
The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is the pinnacle of aftermarket steering technology for BMW G Chassis vehicles, engineered from the ground up for track, racing, and competition use. As the first system in the industry to combine both CAN bus and LIN bus technologies in a single hub, it communicates flawlessly with your factory electronics - no splicing, no wiring headaches, just true plug-and-play functionality. Built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and precision-machined with 5-axis CNC technology, every component is finished in sleek black anodizing for a premium, race-ready look and feel.
The PODIUM LINE gives drivers access to over 40 OEM CAN bus functions - including high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, shift lights, and center console controls - all from a single integrated system. The fully customizable button layout, multi-profile memory, RGB button lighting, and optional OLED Driver Information Display make this the most advanced, driver-focused steering wheel hub system available for BMW G Chassis cars. Whether you're running time attack, track days, or competitive motorsport, the PODIUM LINE puts complete control right in your hands.

FAQ
Is this system legal for street use?
No. The Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is designed exclusively for off-road, track, racing, and competition use. It is not intended or approved for any type of street use. Installing this system removes the factory airbag, which presents a significant safety risk. A 6-point racing harness and roll bar are strongly required for all off-road and track use.
Will this work with my BMW's factory electronics without modification?
Yes. The PODIUM LINE is engineered as a true plug-and-play system. It integrates directly with your BMW G Chassis factory harness using both CAN bus and LIN bus technology - no wire splicing, no cutting, and no modifications to your factory wiring are required.
Can I use this system with a manual transmission vehicle?
Absolutely. The PODIUM LINE is available in both MT (manual) and AT (automatic) transmission configurations. MT buyers can order the hub without paddles or add single/dual paddle shifters to unlock fully programmable paddle functions beyond shifting - such as controlling turn signals or other mapped commands.
What is the OLED Driver Information Display (DID) and do I need it?
The optional OLED DID replaces the standard horn cap and adds a small screen directly on the hub. It displays real-time telemetry data like vehicle speed, and lets you switch button profiles and remap functions on the fly - no laptop or MadtraceLAB software connection needed. It also allows you to adjust RGB button colors and display brightness. It's a great addition for drivers who want maximum in-cockpit control without connecting to a computer between sessions.
What steering wheels are compatible with this hub system?
The hub system is compatible with a range of aftermarket steering wheels. Available add-on options include Sparco L360 and R383 wheels in 330mm suede or leather, and MOMO Montecarlo and Mod.78/Mod.88 wheels in 320-350mm suede or Alcantara. A MOMO Original Horn Cap Adapter and a 6x74mm Nardi-type steering wheel adapter are also available as optional accessories.
How many profiles can I store, and how do I switch between them?
You can store up to 3 fully customizable button layout profiles directly in the hub's internal memory. Each profile can have its own button mapping across the 8 front-facing buttons and dual joystick knobs, as well as its own RGB color scheme. Switching between profiles is done instantly with a single press of a discreet rear-mounted button on the hub - no tools or software needed.
