BMW CAN-Bus Adapter Cable for RLC-CAN Controller

The RLC-CAN BMW Controller talks to your motorcycle through its factory CAN bus. To make that connection clean, reliable, and reversible, each BMW model uses a specific factory connector — which is why RiderNav offers three dedicated adapter cables. Choose the version that matches your bike, plug it in, and your auxiliary lighting system speaks BMW's native language from the very first key turn.
