Welcome to BMW  
The BMW ComSystem has been developed to provide riders of BMW  
K 1200 LT models the most advanced sound and communications  
management system. The ComSystem acts as the foundation,  
allowing owners to utilize privately purchased portable modular  
electronic devices suited for the local market such as cell phones, two-  
way radios and portable music storage devices.  
The ComSystem allows the rider to manage all audio sources as well  
as communicate with the passenger and other individuals, whether on  
motorcycles, other vehicles, or at home / office. There are many  
choices available to riders, so it is important to fully understand how to  
manage these choices to bring the highest level of enjoyment to you  
and your passenger.  
Please read the enclosed manual completely. The manual provides an  
overview of the audio & communications system, a detailed explanation  
how each interface operates, and provides an understanding of options  
/ accessories available to maximize your enjoyment of the system.  
If you have any questions, please direct them to your BMW retailer, who  
is always available to assist you with advice and support for all of your  
motorcycle needs. We wish you pleasant reading of this operation  
manual and many enjoyable journeys on your BMW!

Check the volume control position of your ComSystem prior  
to use. If in doubt about the correct setting, turn the volume  
control counter-clockwise to a minimal level prior to turning  
on ignition to avoid excessively loud volume when the  
motorcycle ignition is turned on.  
Set your ComSystem to a volume level which allows you at all  
times to hear traffic noises and the signals of other road-users  
(especially police and emergency services). Volume settings  
which prevent this are dangerous to you and those around  
you. Moreover, the influence of high noise levels can damage  
your hearing.  
Only use the communications features of the ComSystem  
when the traffic situation allows without danger. Observe all  
local regulations with respect to helmet installed audio  
systems.  
While driving, do not conduct any conversations by radio or  
telephone which will distract you from events on the road. In  
these cases, you should stop the motorcycle and only drive on  
after the conversation is concluded.  
3
Never dial the telephone while riding, unless you have a voice-  
controlled dialing phone service and the driving situation  
permits.  
Note:  
Only press the transmit button when you really want to transmit via two-  
way radio. All conversations and telephone calls that are conducted  
with the transmit button pressed can be received and overheard by  
third parties when the two-way radio is switched on.  
We strongly recommend that the ComSystem be installed by an  
authorized BMW retailer.

Overview  
The audio management of the K 1200 LT consists of inputs and outputs  
from numerous standard and optional devices. To gain the most benefit  
from the system, it is necessary to understand what functions are  
available. As with all audio systems, these devices operate on different  
levels, which determine what priority each level has over the other.  
These levels go from lowest priority (level 1) to highest priority (level 4).  
Level 1 - Music can be received into the helmet headsets using one  
of the sources listed below:  
• BMW AM/FM/weatherband radio with cassette and  
optional 6-disc CD  
or  
• Auxiliary Audio Input (MP3 players or other recorded music  
devices)  
Level 2 - ComSystem driver / passenger intercom, which mutes level  
1 audio when engaged. The ComSystem intercom is also  
engaged when a signal is received from:  
• CB radio (27 MHz two-way radio)  
and / or  
• Family Channel radio (462 MHz two-way radios from  
Kenwood, Motorola, etc.)  
Level 3 - Cell Phone, which mutes all level 2 and lower functions  
(except intercom), connecting rider and passenger helmet  
headsets to cell phone.  
Level 4 - Warning device will interrupt all lower levels (for RH helmet  
speaker only), to signal:  
• Accessory Audio Warning Device (equipped with audio  
output jack)  
or  
• Global Positioning System (GPS) device (equipped with  
audio output jack)  
The BMW ComSystem also provides the basic linkage to the rider /  
passenger headsets for all of the functions noted above. The BMW  
ComSystem has been optimized to provide excellent music fidelity for  
your listening enjoyment, gaining full benefit from the BMW 120W sound  
system that is standard on the K 1200 LT. The BMW ComSystem will  
function with any BMW helmet headset sold to-date with 6-pin DIN plug  
connections.

Rider / Passenger Intercom  
Operation  
The ComSystem intercom is a voice activated system that allows  
seamless communication between rider and passenger. The  
ComSystem is operational when the motorcycle ignition switch is  
turned “on”. The system will not function (nor can you hear music  
through the helmet headsets) with the ignition “off” (though the radio  
may still work through the fairing speakers).  
Requirement  
• The ComSystem will function properly only if the rider and passenger  
are wearing helmets fitted with BMW headsets or headsets compat-  
ible with the BMW system.  
Operation  
• Set the intercom volume control to 50% of range to ensure that  
audio is not excessively loud when system is turned-on. You may  
later adjust the volume to the desired level, turning clockwise to  
increase volume. (There is no automatic intercom volume increase  
function as with the BMW radio, as the perceived intercom volume  
does not change much with speed changes due to wearing a  
helmet)  
Turn “on” the ignition switch, which activates the ComSystem power.  
• Adjust the VOX sensitivity knob to the desired level that will allow  
the intercom to activate upon speaking, but not falsely activate from  
outside ambient / wind noise. Turn clockwise for greater sensitivity,  
counterclockwise for less sensitivity.  
7
• The intercom will mute the music from all audio sources when VOX is  
engaged, and return the music 3.5 seconds after the last VOX input is  
received. The 3.5 second delay spans the natural gaps that occur  
from voice inflections and minor turns of the head (away from  
microphone) that occur while riding.  
• The optional rider / passenger PTT switch will also activate intercom,  
thus allowing both the rider and passenger the enjoyment of the two-  
way communication when using two-way radios.  
• When riding in such extreme noise conditions that make VOX  
activation of the intercom impractical, just turn the VOX sensitivity  
knob counterclockwise fully and use the PTT switches with two-way  
radios turned “off” to communicate on the intercom system.  
• The music heard through the ComSystem is imported from radio  
amplifier output to the front fairing speakers, which means that if the  
radio fader is set to fade out the front fairing speakers, the  
ComSystem will not receive audio input from the radio. The radio  
fader control has no affect on the audio front-to-rear balance heard in  
the headsets through the ComSystem. The audio level balance of  
the ComSystem has no front-to-rear or left-to-right balance.  
However, the left-to-right balance of the radio amplifier will impact the  
audio signal going to the ComSystem, since the source (front fairing  
speaker leads) would be affected by that adjustment.  
• We recommend setting the audio music automatic speed adjustment  
to 4. Most riders will find this the most comfortable setting for volume-  
to-speed increase.  
Note:  
For maximum enjoyment of the system, it is imperative that the helmet  
headset microphone placement be correct, as advised in the headset  
installation instructions. Too much gap between the mouth and  
microphone will result in excessive noise entering the system and  
imperfect intercom operation / VOX switching.  
Risk of injury! Do not make adjustments to ComSystem  
controls while driving. You may be distracted, lose control of  
the motorcycle and be seriously injured.  
8
Auxiliary Audio Input  
The ComSystem provides a port to connect auxiliary audio players  
(such as MP3 devices) to the audio channel (Level 1).  
Requirements  
• Connect the accessory audio device using a connection cable BMW  
PN 99 99 0 000 204 (short) or 99 99 0 000 205 (long), which has a  
3.5 mm stereo plug at both ends.  
Function  
• The auxiliary audio input jack becomes live when fairing speaker /  
headset switch is set to fairing speakers. EXT = button out / HS  
= button in.  
• Note that a “pop” sound may be heard when the HS/EXT switch is  
pressed. The sound is produced by the engagement of a set of  
relays, which is a normal sound.  
• Adjust the audio volume of the accessory audio device to a comfort-  
able level. As the audio is feeding directly into the ComSystem, the  
audio will not be adjusted automatically with motorcycle speed as  
with the BMW K 1200 LT radio system.  
• When the motorcycle ignition is turned “off”, the K1200LT radio  
system audio (if turned on) will play through the fairing speakers  
regardless of the position of the HS/EXT switch (defaults back to  
EXT). The accessory audio device cannot play through the fairing  
speakers at any time – only through the ComSystem / headsets.  
Do not make adjustments to Accessory Audio Device controls  
while driving.  
9
Cellular Telephone  
The ComSystem provides an input for cellular phone communication.  
Given the increased emphasis / local legislation requiring the use of  
cellular phone headsets while driving a car, as well as the proliferation  
of phone models and calling plans available, BMW is providing a simple  
connection to the ComSystem via the cellular phone headset 2.5 mm  
jack found on most phones. If your phone does not have a headset  
jack, consult your phone supplier for an accessory headset adapter.  
Function  
• Using the cellular phone cable 99 99 0 000 202 (standard length) or  
99 99 0 000 203 (long), plug the 2.5 mm plug into on the  
ComSystem control surface and the 2.5 mm plug into your cellular  
phone headset jack.  
• Consult your cellular phone owners manual to set your telephone to  
auto-answer. This will allow you to receive calls while riding, without  
the need to touch / manipulate the phone to receive a call.  
• With intercom volume set at your normal level, adjust the volume of  
the phone to be received at a comfortable level. To do this, use the  
cellular phone volume control (you need to receive a real call to do  
this) before the ride begins.  
• Some phones may require the use of an auxiliary antenna to function  
properly, particularly those in the higher digital bands. Please consult  
your local cellular phone provider and your BMW retailer for antenna  
connections to your particular make and model of phone.  
• Most phones will operate with greater range if located outside the  
10  
oddments compartment. A longer cable is available PN 99 99 0 000  
203 to allow placement of the phone in the optional tank utility pouch  
71 60 2 342 670.  
Turn the phone “on”, place the phone in the tray and close the lid.  
• For cellular phones equipped with voice-command dialing, your  
helmet headset microphone is continually connected to the cellular  
phone. This will enable rider or passenger to activate the voice-  
command dialing feature. However, note that your phone will “hear”  
everything said through your microphone, so it is possible to  
inadvertently place a call if what you say matches your voice  
command keyword and if your phone does not require pressing a  
specific key to activate voice command dialing.  
• Once a call is received, the rider and passenger headsets will  
connect to the phone via a distinct VOX activated intercom channel,  
muting out all lower level communications (music, CB and FRS radio).  
Phone conversations are then shared by rider and passenger. Any  
audio generated from the phone or voice input will keep the intercom  
latched, with a 3.5 second intercom delay from the last VOX input. If  
a pause in conversation exceeds 3.5 seconds, lower level audio will  
return until new VOX input is received.  
You may need to fine-tune the cell phone volume until you have  
established a comfortable volume level while riding. Manipulation of  
phone controls while riding is not recommended.  
Risk of injury! Do not make adjustments to ComSystem  
controls while driving. You may be distracted, lose control of  
the motorcycle and be seriously injured.  
Do not dial a cellular phone while driving! Utilize only voice  
command dialing options to place a call while riding the  
motorcycle, and only when a call can be placed without  
diverting your attention from the road.  
11  
Operation of (FRS) Family Channel Radio  
Requirement  
• A FRS radio such as the Kenwood FreeTalk™ (BMW PN 99 99 0 000  
041) and corresponding adapter cable (BMW PN 99 99 0 000 199)  
are required. Several different adapter cables have been developed  
for the most popular FRS radios (see page 23). Please consult your  
BMW retailer for options prior to purchasing your FRS radio.  
• A push-to-talk button is required. A driver and passenger PTT button  
kit is available to allow either person to initiate communications on the  
FRS radio under BMW PN 99 99 0 000 193.  
Function  
• We recommend reading the owners manual provided with your FRS  
radio to take full advantage of the features and benefits of the radio.  
• Connect the FRS radio cable to the radio and the control surface  
jack . Turn the FRS radio “on”.  
• The best reception will be received if the FRS radio is placed  
outside the oddments compartment. We recommend placing the  
radio on your belt / riding suit waistband or in the optional tank utility  
pouch 71 60 2 342 670.  
• With helmet cables connected and ignition turned on, (the  
ComSystem is active), the FRS radio is ready to be used. The FRS  
operates on the same level as the normal intercom and CB radio  
(Level 2). This allows both rider and passenger to monitor either CB,  
FRS or both simultaneously.  
• With intercom volume set at your normal level, adjust the volume of  
the FRS radio to be received at a comfortable level. Use the FRS  
radio volume control to do this (you need to receive a real transmis-  
sion to do this) before the ride begins.  
12  
• Incoming FRS radio transmissions will activate the intercom system,  
mute the music (Level 1), and will be heard by rider and passenger.  
Rider and passenger can discuss what is being heard from the FRS  
or CB radio without that conversation be transmitted. If CB is also  
being monitored, incoming transmissions will mix with the FRS radio  
broadcasts, muting the music as well.  
To transmit, rider or passenger must press the PTT button with (TX)  
toggle switch set to “FRS”.  
You can only transmit on either CB or FRS, not both at the same  
time. Therefore, you must select which radio device you wish to  
transmit on. Selector switch should be set to transmit on the  
device you have chosen.  
• The 3.5 second delay of the intercom system aids two-way radio  
conversations, since most users don’t say “over” when their  
statements are finished. The 3.5 second delay provides time to  
bridge the natural pause that occurs while listeners determine the  
incoming speech has ended, before they respond.  
Do not make adjustments to CB / FRS radio controls while  
driving.  
Note:  
If you receive a cell phone call while riding with the FRS or CB radio in  
use, the cell phone will mute all Level 1 & 2 communications. How-  
ever, if (out of habit) you press the PTT button while talking on the  
phone (something you should not do), that portion of your phone  
conversation could be transmitted over the FRS or CB radio.  
Note:  
The range afforded with CB or FRS radio will vary depending upon  
terrain, weather conditions, outside sources of interference, etc. This is  
13  
particularly true of CB, which is AM band (FRS is FM). Therefore,  
expect less range in mountain areas, greater range in plains areas.  
Note:  
For maximum enjoyment of the system, it is imperative that the helmet  
headset microphone placement be correct, as advised in the headset  
installation instructions. Too much gap between the mouth and  
microphone will result in excessive noise entering the system and  
imperfect intercom operation / VOX switching.  
14  
Operation of (CB) Citizen Band Radio  
Requirement  
• A CB radio such as the Midland™ 75-830 CB radio kit (BMW PN 99  
99 0 000 196) available from your BMW retailer.  
• We recommend that the CB radio kit be installed by your BMW  
retailer.  
• The BMW CB antenna kit BMW PN 99 00 0 001 050 / 051 mast and  
base is required.  
• A push-to-talk button is required. A driver and passenger PTT button  
kit is available to allow either person to initiate communications on the  
CB radio under BMW PN 99 99 0 000 193.  
• The CB radio is connected to the ComSystem under the bodywork of  
the radio area, so alternative mounting locations will be possible.  
• Ensure that the CB radio antenna is balanced to the CB, with as low  
a “SWR” measurement as possible. The above mentioned antenna  
kit will produce excellent SWR readings near 1.1 when adjusted  
correctly.  
Function  
• With helmet cables connected and ignition turned on, (the  
ComSystem is active), the CB radio is ready to be used. The CB  
operates on the same level as the normal intercom and FRS radio  
(Level 2). This allows both rider and passenger to monitor either CB,  
FRS or both simultaneously.  
• With ignition turned “on”, turn the CB radio “on” and adjust to the  
15  
desired channel. You can select memory functions to remember  
specific channels.  
• With intercom volume set at your normal level, adjust the volume of  
the CB radio to be received at a comfortable level. Use the CB radio  
volume control to do this (you need to receive a real transmission to  
do this) before the ride begins. Also adjust the CB squelch control to  
a comfortable level.  
• We recommend reading the owners manual provided with your CB  
radio to take full advantage of the features and benefits of the radio,  
including dual channel scanning.  
• Incoming CB radio transmissions will activate the intercom system,  
mute the music (Level 1), and will be heard by rider and passenger.  
Rider and passenger can discuss what is being heard from the FRS  
or CB radio without that conversation transmitted. If FRS is also being  
monitored, incoming transmissions will mix with the CB radio  
broadcasts, muting the music as well.  
You can only transmit on either CB or FRS, not both at the same  
time. Therefore, you must select which radio device you wish to  
transmit on. Selector switch should be set to transmit on the  
device you have chosen.  
To transmit, rider or passenger must press the PTT button with (TX)  
toggle switch set to “CB”.  
• The 3.5 second delay of the intercom system aids two-way radio  
conversations, since most users don’t say “over” when their  
statements are finished. The 3.5 second delay provides time to  
bridge the natural pause that occurs while listeners determine the  
incoming speech has ended, before they respond.  
• Note: When riding with other motorcycles in a close group, you may  
wish to utilize the low power output selection switch on the CB radio,  
which will reduce the output wattage, thereby reducing the distortion  
that can occur when transmitting in very close proximity to other  
motorcycles using CB.  
Do not make adjustments to CB / FRS radio controls while  
driving.  
16  
Note:  
If you receive a cell phone call while riding with the FRS or CB radio in  
use, the cell phone will mute all Level 1 & 2 communications. How-  
ever, if (out of habit) you press the PTT button while talking on the  
phone (something you should not do), that portion of your phone  
conversation could be transmitted over the FRS or CB radio.  
Note:  
The range afforded with CB or FRS radio will vary depending upon  
terrain, weather conditions, outside sources of interference, etc. This is  
particularly true of CB, which is AM band (FRS is FM). Therefore,  
expect less range in mountain areas, greater range in plains areas.  
Note:  
For maximum enjoyment of the system, it is imperative that the helmet  
headset microphone placement be correct, as advised in the headset  
installation instructions. Too much gap between the mouth and  
microphone will result in excessive noise entering the system and  
imperfect intercom operation / VOX switching.  
17  
Accessory Audio Warning Device or GPS  
BMW has provided a special connection plug in the wiring harness of  
the ComSystem for connection of an Accessory Audio Warning Device  
(AAWD) and GPS.  
Requirements  
• A GPS system with audio output signal and / or AAWD with audio  
output signal.  
• See your BMW retailer for details on the BMW Ridefinder GPS system  
or AAWD options.  
Function  
• Mount your AAWD to the motorcycle.  
• The BMW Ridefinder GPS is provided with a special mounting  
bracket and wiring harness.  
• BMW has developed special connection points, providing switched  
power, ground and audio signal input for these devices. The  
switched power lead becomes active when the ignition system is  
turned “on” and inactive when the ignition is switched “off”. This  
reduces the likelihood of devices draining the battery when the  
motorcycle is not in use.  
• Warning devices are Level 4 audio, muting all other forms of  
communication only in the RH speaker of the helmet headset.  
Therefore, the LH speaker will still play whatever audio is being used,  
but the RH speaker will play the warning tone or GPS spoken  
directions.  
• With intercom volume set at your normal level, adjust the volume of  
the AAWD to be received at a comfortable level. Use the AAWD  
18  
volume control to do this (you need to receive a real transmission to  
do this) before the ride begins.  
• AAWD or GPS volume level must be set high enough to trigger the  
audio circuit. Very low volume levels may produce a “choppy” audio  
response.  
• A special plug kit with universal pigtail is available from your BMW  
retailer under BMW PN 99 99 0 000 194, to provide a quick  
connection to your AAWD. A three-conductor plug is mounted in the  
LH handlebar molded housing, allowing quick disconnection of your  
AAWD. If AAWD does not have an audio output signal connection,  
you can contact J & M Corporation at 520-624-7000 for information  
on the cost to modify your device to obtain the necessary  
connections.  
Using GPS and AAWD at the Same Time  
• Knowing that some users will want to have both devices active at the  
same time, separate connection points were developed in the wiring  
harness. These points will pipe both signals into the same channel  
inside the ComSystem, but will keep them from back-feeding into  
each-other. The plug connection for the GPS is near the CB radio  
plug connection. The connection point for the AAWD is inside the LH  
handlebar cover.  
• It is recommended that the volume level of the AAWD be adjusted  
lower than the volume of the GPS. This way, the lower volume tone  
will be easily recognized, while the louder voice direction of the GPS  
will be distinguished from the lower AAWD tone.  
Do not make adjustments to Accessory Audio Warning Device  
or GPS controls while driving.  
Use of Accessory Audio Warning Devices may not be approved in all  
States. Please consult and observe all local regulations.  
19

BMW FreeTalk™ Headset Harness  
BMW has produced a special harness that connects the BMW helmet  
headset directly to the Kenwood FreeTalk™ FRS radio. This enables  
LT riders or riders of other models to communicate when they are not  
riding a motorcycle equipped with a ComSystem. If both rider and  
passenger have a FreeTalk™ harness and FreeTalk™ FRS radio, they  
can intercom with each other, as well as with others riding with them.  
This is a handy way to talk with other riders in a group, while utilizing the  
same BMW helmet headset and Kenwood FreeTalk™ FRS radio you  
use on your K 1200 LT. The special harness also contains a universal  
PTT switch which can be attached with Velcro. Passengers usually  
attach the PTT switch to a jacket belt loop or nearby handhold. The  
BMW FreeTalk™ Headset Harness is available under BMW PN 99 99 0  
000 026.  
BMW FreeTalk™ Headset Harness PTT Switch  
BMW has also produced a fixed-mount PTT switch which fits all recent  
BMW models, including those with hydraulic clutch and manual choke.  
The PTT switch kit provides a special, laser-cut and formed, black zinc  
plated bracket to mount the BMW PTT switch, waterproof boot, cable  
with plug for the BMW FreeTalk™ Headset Harness cable, cable tie,  
two different mounting bolts and mounting instructions. The BMW  
FreeTalk™ Headset Harness PTT Switch is available under BMW PN  
99 99 0 000 042.
