I have been trying the AIO-5 Play BMW for about two weeks now. I‘m afraid to say that with my 2016 1200 GSA and a NAV V the device does not add much benefit. I bought it for the lean angle indication but with my bike that feature is not available, which was not clear from the website. All other parameters I have already anyway. I find the numeric indication of the rpm very jumpy. A bit of dampening would help. Also the indicators are very dim. I see the indicator on my instrument cluster much better than those on the Chigee. I do not use car play very much. Music, phone, etc. I have via mobile phone or Nav anyway. Speaking of phone, I have a bracket on the handlebar so I see the phone and can charge it at the same time. Personally I feel no need for the Chigee for my model bike. That said, it adds a digital display to older models and lean angle to newer models, which is really cool. The build quality and finish is first class and it fits perfectly into the BMW cradle, so no external wiring required. Wonder wheel works fine. No issue there and it‘s doing a great job in bringing the bike cluster, phone and Nav onto a single screen. I don‘t know how to put it but I really think that specifically the 2016 BMWs benefit the least from a Chigee because they come standard with most of what the Chigee has to offer but just not enough to make full use of the device. If that makes sense. Not the device‘s fault. Great product.
Product quality is excellent. The control works well, although I had to make a modification to the base to adapt it. A screen that is perhaps a little too small, but with an unbeatable sharpness.
Toestel doet wat het moet doen en is volledig plug & play
Très bon appareil, fonctionne bien, nombreuses données consultables sur différents écrans, Android auto fonctionne très bien pour la navigation, la musique, le téléphone. J'en suis fan. C'est vraiment top. Merci.
Love that it is installing as it is made for bmw and everything just works without any problems. Even the bmw control wheel can be used to navigate in this device. Best all around gadget for ease of use on your bike.
Mounted yesterday on a Kavasaki Ninja 1000sx 2023. Excellent result. Only an optional shorter support for the front chamber would be needed to prevent it from banging against the mudguard.
Used to mount on a support for a Nina 1000sx. Just replaced the long screws with 4 shorter screws. Good result
Installed the internal TPMS, works as promised. It would be even better if Chigee can program a software toggle to swap front and back readings. The instructions to setup was not intuitive and the app that I was asked to used was not available to me.
Possesseur d'une BMW R1250RT, le chigee s'installe en plug and play sur le support de gps bmw d'origine. L'intégration est parfaite.
After years of happily using standalone GPS', I switched to Gaia GPS and soon was looking for CarPlay screens for MCs. Went with a very cheap option, which worked but this unit is ... SO MUCH BETTER. The software & bike integration are miles ahead, the fit is perfect on the OEM "Nav prep," and most of all the screen is way sharper and more responsive. Very, very happy with this purchase!
This is a nice unit, but without YouTube, you're lost on how to set it up.
Instructions are vague, to say the least.
They're shipping also leaves a lot to be desired.
So far i am really happy with my purchase,
There are cheaper options out there but review wise Chigee with all the bells and whistles seems to be by far the better setup,
And even more bits you can purchase for it that dont come as part of the standard kit,
The sunshade fits the AIO 5 well and it was easy to install. It helps a little bit mostly at the top of the screen.
The glare of the device are still a big problem and I will still have to mount my phone when I need to navigate in unknown areas. (I will order the non-glare protector and hope it helps.) While the device works well overall the visibility problems do not justify the high costs.
Dump your BMW Nav and then order this unit. It is excellent: simple install; intuitive interface; and, clean design. Very nice product.
The Sun Shade installed easily and it's great for reducing glare.
I purchased this product to safely transport and store my device when it’s not in use on the motorcycle. I had waited approximately three weeks for it to be shipped along with my device order. Upon initial inspection after receiving the product, I thought I wouldn’t regret purchasing it. It seemed to be a high-quality and functional item.
However, after some time, I purchased the “Sun Shade for AIO-5 Series” accessory and attached it to my “AIO-5 Play for BMW” device. That’s when I realized I could no longer use the bag.
The "Sun Shade" is not an accessory that can be easily attached and detached from the AIO-5 Play repeatedly. There is a risk of it breaking, and if your device has a “Screen Protector” installed, frequent removal and reattachment could eventually damage it.
I hope Chigee addresses this design issue and offers a new bag with dimensions suitable for carrying devices with the "Sun Shade" attached. When that happens, I’ll be among the first to purchase it.
On the whole it is a nice step up from Navigator VI on my 2017 GSA with analog guages.
Positives: The various interfaces/dashboards are nice and show a good bit of information. To my eye it looks every bit as nice and informative as TFT. Switching between them is easy with the wonder wheel, which didn't require any special setup.
I have a Pixel phone, so Android auto functionality is good, but needs better support (more below). It does seamlessly pick up my phone when I turn it on and is fairly easy to navigate with the wonder wheel.
It seems well made and designed to fit right in with the bike.
Negative: really the biggest and only negative is the lack of support for Google Assistant. This is a huge one for me and really deserves more than one star deduction. I was really searching for a product that would allow me to interface with Android Auto through my Cardo Freecom 4x so I could input destinations or change music by speaking to it rather than having to mess around with my hands while riding. I really hope that Chigee engineers can get this figured out. I am currently on the beta release of the Chigee firmware and the issue remains. If I say "hey Google" into the helmet it does seem to pick it up; however the issue is that it doesn't capture any voice after that. It's like it is using the wrong microphone or something.
Overall a great device but could be made even better by fixing the issues with google Assistant recognition
Je suis très satisfait du produit Chigee pour BMW, installation facile et démontage très rapide au besoin.
Je recommande
