Simrad BT1 Base Station plus AP Remote delivers effortless, wireless control of your autopilot system, giving you precise heading adjustments from virtually anywhere on board. The bundle combines a compact, waterproof BT1 base station with the WR10 wireless autopilot remote for a streamlined helm experience that’s built to endure marine conditions.

Designed to integrate with modern Simrad autopilot ecosystems, this pair is all about simplicity and reliability:

• Long-range, wireless convenience: Bluetooth Smart technology provides reliable control from up to 30 metres away, so you can steer or fine-tune the course without leaving your comfort zone on deck or in the cockpit.
• Plug‑in simplicity: The BT1 base station connects quickly to your boat’s NMEA 2000 network with a single plug—no complex wiring or separate power supply required.
• Deck or pole mounting: The compact BT1 base station is built to fit your boat’s layout, offering flexible mounting options for clean, organized helm stations.
• Versatile remote control: The WR10 remote puts autopilot control in the palm of your hand, featuring dedicated Standby and Engage/Modes buttons for immediate action when conditions change.
• Precise heading control: Steer or set the vessel’s heading in 1° and 10° increments, giving you granular control for docking, tight maneuvering, or steady sailing on any point of sail.
• Group-ready for difficult passages: Up to four WR10 remotes can be paired to a single BT1 base station, so crew members can share command without crowding the helm.
• Rugged, weatherproof design: Built for marine use, the base station remains reliable in spray and spray‑downs, while the remote stays responsive in a salty, humid environment.
• Integrated autopilot compatibility: Works with NAC-1, NAC-2, NAC-3 and H5000 Pilot Computers, letting you upgrade an existing system with wireless control rather than a full retrofit.

This package includes the WR10 Wireless Autopilot remote and the BT1 base station, creating a complete, ready-to-install control surface for your autopilot setup. The system is designed to connect to your boat’s NMEA 2000 network with a single plug, simplifying installation and reducing clutter at the helm. The compact, waterproof base station can be deck-mounted or mounted on a sturdy pole, giving you flexible placement options for optimal signal and accessibility.

Who benefits most: solo sailors who want the confidence of automatic steering with quick manual overrides, crews seeking seamless remote control during docking or line handling, and anyone upgrading from wired control to wireless autopilot management. If you already have NAC-1, NAC-2, NAC-3 or H5000 in your navigation stack, the WR10 + BT1 pairing is the simplest path to modern wireless autopilot control—improving reaction time and reducing helm workload on challenging passages.

Why this matters in practice: In real-world situations, accurate heading adjustments can prevent line snags, reduce tacking effort, and help you maintain a steady course in gusty conditions. The 1° and 10° increment options give you fine-grained control for precise steering, while the standby and engage buttons let you switch control modes instantly when you need to take action at short notice.

Brand assurance: Simrad is renowned for integrated navigation and autopilot systems that tolerate real-world marine use. This BT1 + WR10 combination embodies that heritage—a compact, purpose-built wireless solution that complements existing autopilot computers and expands your on-board control capabilities without complicated installation.
