The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM Line Steering Wheel System brings race-inspired control, premium construction, and seamless integration to BMW E9X M3 models. Engineered to provide an intuitive, responsive, and clutter-free cockpit, this system delivers wireless functionality, a fully customisable button layout, and advanced CAN bus capability—all designed to enhance precision and driver confidence in track environments.

Built around Madtrace’s next-generation hub technology, the GEN2 PODIUM Line offers a plug-and-play installation with no coding, splicing, or additional wiring required. Every function communicates with the vehicle’s OEM electronics for a smooth, reliable, factory-linked experience.

Key Features

5-Axis CNC Billet Aluminium Construction

Made from 6061-T6 billet aluminium and machined on advanced 5-axis CNC equipment, the PODIUM Line hub delivers exceptional rigidity and a premium tactile feel. The black anodised finish ensures long-lasting durability while matching the adapter hub and quick release for a cohesive, high-quality appearance.

Expanded CAN Bus Integration

The GEN2 PODIUM Line unlocks an extended range of OEM-linked functions (vehicle dependent), allowing drivers to access controls such as lighting, indicators, wipers, and more directly on the wheel. All functions operate through CAN bus communication for fast, reliable response without additional hardware.

MadtraceLAB 1.0 System – Fully Programmable Control

Through MadtraceLAB 1.0, or the optional DID Display, drivers can customise button mappings, RGB lighting behaviour, and wheel profiles with complete freedom. A discreet USB-C port ensures simple firmware updates and future expansion support.

Multi-Profile Storage & Button Layout Mapping

Store up to three personalised driver profiles within the wheel’s internal memory. Each profile allows mapping across the eight front-facing buttons and dual joystick knobs, ideal for setting up different configurations for varying track layouts, weather conditions, or drive styles.

Instant Profile Switching

With a simple press of the rear-mounted Layout Switch button, drivers can instantly switch between saved profiles or LED presets—ensuring rapid adaptability while on track.

RevLEDs CAN Bus Shift Light System

The integrated RevLEDs shift light array provides real-time, zero-delay feedback. LEDs illuminate progressively as revs rise and flash red at redline for consistent, predictable shifting.

Optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID)

Replace the standard horn cap with the optional OLED DID unit for expanded functionality, including:

• Real-time telemetry (e.g., speed)

• Button mapping & profile switching without a computer

• Brightness control

• Customisable RGB button colours

All fully integrated via CAN bus.

Optional Dual Magnetic Paddle System

A motorsport-grade dual-paddle setup made from 6061-T6 aluminium gives drivers additional programmable inputs beyond standard shifting. Both upper and lower paddles can be assigned to functions such as indicators, menu controls, or other track-relevant inputs.
Compatible with manual and automatic E-Series vehicles.
