Axxess AXTC-BM1 BMW & MINI Total Control Interface with Steering Wheel Control for Factory Radio Upgrades
Upgrade your BMW or MINI factory radio system while retaining essential vehicle features with the Axxess AXTC-BM1 Total Control Interface. Designed for select 2006-2020 BMW and MINI vehicles, this vehicle-specific interface provides a complete solution for installing an aftermarket radio while maintaining important factory functions, including steering wheel controls, accessory power, Retained Accessory Power (R.A.P.), warning chimes, balance and fade controls, and vehicle data integration.
The AXTC-BM1 combines Axxess Total Control technology with built-in steering wheel control integration, allowing users to retain factory steering wheel audio controls after replacing the original radio. The interface supports dual assignment of steering wheel control buttons, giving installers the flexibility to customize button functions and create a more personalized driving experience.
Featuring Auto-Detect technology, the AXTC-BM1 automatically identifies the vehicle type, radio connection, and preset control settings to simplify programming and installation. Compatible with major aftermarket radio brands, the interface can also be manually programmed for additional customization while preserving stored settings even after battery disconnection or interface removal.
Designed for non-amplified BMW and MINI audio systems or applications where the factory amplifier is bypassed, the AXTC-BM1 provides 12-volt 10-amp accessory power and retains Retained Accessory Power (R.A.P.) after the factory radio is removed. It also provides navigation outputs, including parking brake, reverse, and speed sense signals, along with a 12-volt illumination output for compatible multimedia receivers.
The AXTC-BM1 helps maintain a factory-style experience by retaining warning chimes through the onboard speaker, balance and fade controls, and steering wheel functionality after a radio upgrade. Its Micro-B USB update capability and nonvolatile memory allow programmed settings to remain stored even after battery disconnection or interface removal, making future updates and servicing easier.
Before purchasing, vehicle compatibility should always be verified. The AXTC-BM1 is designed for select BMW and MINI applications from 2006-2020, including compatible BMW 1 Series and 3 Series models, along with MINI Cooper models, depending on vehicle year, factory equipment, and audio system configuration.
Whether replacing a factory stereo, installing a touchscreen receiver, or upgrading a BMW or MINI multimedia system, the Axxess AXTC-BM1 delivers reliable factory feature retention and professional aftermarket integration for a clean and seamless radio upgrade.
