The think tank of the BMW specialists from Grafschaft Ringen is known for developing pragmatic, functional components that are simply smart and where one inevitably asks oneself: Why did no one come up with it before? This category also includes the USB charging box, which works like a kind of socket on the motorcycle.

This extremely practical USB charging box fits all BMW motorcycles with the factory BMW navigation preparation (Navigator V, VI). It is simply plugged into the BMW navigation bracket instead of the navigator, locked and can be locked theft-proof. Power is supplied via the contacts of the navigation bracket.

Two quick charging ports USB A and USB C

It has two common USB ports of type USB 3.1 Type A and USB 3.1 Type C on the right side of the case, which meet the standards for fast charging ports QC 3.0 and QC 4.0 (QC = Quick Charge). The activity of the charging box is indicated by a blue LED indicator light, which is clearly visible, located directly above the two USB slots. The charging box is splash-proof. When not in use, the slots can be closed against splashing water and dust with form-fitting elastomer covers and thus protected.

More than just a charging box!

On the front side, the charging box is equipped with four threaded bushings, which are provided with screws. These are arranged exactly in such a way that they correspond to the standardized hole pattern of various fastening systems, such as that of the holder of the Garmin Zumo XT navigation device. This turns the charging box into a clever adapter: These fastening systems can be plugged into the charging box in no time at all and in a space-saving manner and securely screwed together to connect the devices to the on-board power supply.

In addition to the described "Universal" variant, the Ringener offer two further versions that additionally supplement the USB charging box with the MultiClamp or SP-connect system holders in order to attach and operate e.B smartphones reliably and in the ergonomically recommended visual axis on the USB charging box.

In the "MultiClamp" version, Wunderlich supplies the USB charging box in a set with the MultiClamp adapter, which is compatible with the popular Wunderlich MultiClamp system.B and can be equipped with the smartphone holder (item no.: 45155-102).

In a third variant, the BMW specialists offer the USB charging box in a set with the SP-connect adapter, which is compatible with the popular SP-connect system and can be combined with the matching smartphone case (item no.: 45150-xxx).

With the three versions available, there are no limits to the versatility in the use and application of the USB charging box from Wunderlich!
