Description BMW R 1200 GS R and RT CANsmart GEN II accessory controller

Code DNLWHS11802 — DENALI code DNL.WHS.11802

The CANsmart GEN II control unit for the R 1200 generation: it connects to the diagnostic socket and manages four accessories — auxiliary lights, horn, auxiliary brake light — controlled by the motorcycle's original buttons, without adding switches or modifying the wiring harness.

Four circuits rated at 10 A continuous each, 30 A total, each configurable through the CANsmart Accessory Manager software.

Compatible motorcycles: BMW R 1200 GS, R 1200 GS Adventure, R 1200 R, and R 1200 RT.

Why choose it

Senza centralina, ogni accessorio che aggiungi alla moto porta con sé un relè, un interruttore da trovare dove montare e dei cavi da collegare alla batteria. Con il CANsmart non aggiungi niente di tutto questo: colleghi l'accessorio a un circuito e lo comandi dai pulsanti che hai già sul manubrio.

  • Quattro circuiti da 10 A continui, 30 A totali.
  • Comando dai pulsanti originali: nessun interruttore aggiunto.
  • Installazione sui connettori originali, senza tagliare cavi.
  • Fusibile elettronico per circuito e decine di regolazioni dal software.
Who is it recommended for

A chi sta allestendo una R 1200 GS, GS Adventure, R 1200 R o R 1200 RT con più di un accessorio elettrico. Se metti solo un paio di faretti e basta, un cablaggio con interruttore costa molto meno; se invece prevedi faretti, clacson, luce freno e magari manopole riscaldate, il CANsmart si ripaga in tempo di installazione e in ordine sotto la sella.

Attenzione all'anno: per le R 1250 e le R 1200 LC più recenti serve il DNLWHS11602, per la R 1300 GS il DNLWHS25900. Se hai un dubbio sulla generazione, scrivici modello e anno.

Documents and manufacturer

La centralina non modifica l'impianto originale della moto: si innesta sui connettori di serie e può essere rimossa riportando la moto allo stato di fabbrica. Ogni circuito ha un fusibile elettronico impostabile dal software.

Gli accessori collegati restano soggetti alle regole del codice della strada che li riguardano: i fari supplementari vanno montati in numero pari e simmetrici, il clacson deve rispettare i limiti previsti.

DENALI riconosce 5 anni di garanzia convenzionale del produttore, che si aggiunge ai 24 mesi di garanzia legale di conformità.

How does it work, in detail?

  • Four accessories controlled by the original BMW buttons.
Four accessories controlled by the Wonder Wheel

Four accessories controlled by the Wonder Wheel

The control unit connects to the motorcycle’s CAN bus and provides four circuits for accessories. From then on, auxiliary lights, the horn, and the brake light can be switched on, switched off, and adjusted using the BMW Wonder Wheel, with no additional switches on the handlebar and no loose relays under the seat.

Plug-and-play installation, with no wire cutting

Plug-and-play installation, with no wire cutting

It plugs into the motorcycle’s original connectors: nothing needs to be cut or drilled, and no relays need to be added. The control unit comes preconfigured for two sets of DENALI lights, a SoundBomb horn, and the B6 brake light, so in most cases it’s simply a matter of installing it and using it.

Dozens of software settings

Dozens of software settings

By connecting the control unit to the computer with the included micro USB cable, the CANsmart Accessory Manager software opens up dozens of settings: flashing with the high beams, strobing with the horn, automatic shutoff with the turn signals, an electronic fuse for each circuit, five-level heated clothing control, and activation only when the engine is running.

FAQs

For more information, see our FAQ of frequently asked questions.

What difference does having the CANsmart in the kit make?

You control the spotlights using the buttons already on your handlebar, without adding switches. On BMWs, adjustment is done via the Wonder Wheel, and the control unit connects to the diagnostic socket without altering the original wiring. That’s the difference between an accessory that’s installed and one that’s integrated.
