Can I use the AIO-5 Play For BMW with Garmin mount?

The AIO-5 Play For BMW is fully compatible with the original Garmin AMPS Rugged Mount. When used with this official mount, you can expect complete functionality, including power supply, data reading, and Wonder Wheel control.

However, the market offers many third-party Garmin-style mounts or mounts with similar 18-pin connectors. While these typically provide power to the device, they may not support all features. For full functionality (power, data reading, and Wonder Wheel control), the mount's interface protocol must match BMW's original Navigation Preparation system.

Before purchasing or using a non-original mount, it's crucial to verify if its interface protocol definition matches BMW's original Navigation Preparation. If it does, you should have access to all features. If you're unsure about the mount's protocol or it doesn't match BMW's, you can still use it for power, but data reading and Wonder Wheel control may not work.

For the best experience and full functionality, we recommend using the BMW's original Navigation Preparation and original Garmin 18-pin mount, or thoroughly verifying third-party mount compatibility before purchase.
