- Chigee sent me their Smart Navigation to review/test. Part 1 was the installation process onto my BMW R1250GS.
Part 2, is where I take the unit out for road testing. It mirrors your iPhone or Android phone with CarPlay or Android Auto onto the display, giving you all the usability of the applications that your phone has, ie navigation etc.

A great second review, so much more detailed than anyone else.
Thanks, appreciate it. Great bit of kit.
Appreciate the mention. Your video production has come on along way. 👌
Thanks. I will put a link in the description to your website😁
Great video Paul. Our lives continue to cross, I also went to D-Day beaches in another solo trip on Monday to Wednesday. Weather on Monday afternoon was showery but glorious for Tue and Wed! Hope to catch up soon.
We came back on Monday. Great trip. 6 of us. Let me know if you ever want to have a cuppa out n about 👍
Great review , I have one fitted to my kawaski z1000sx,I cant seem to figure out how to set the L&H tyre 'safety limits' on the TPMS as the front and rear tyres have differnt values of course!,
#
Hi. I believe you can only set one limit L and H which covers both tyres.
Very nice video. On my S1000XR I'm currently using a Zumo XT2 which I don't like, and a quadlock phone with wireless charger head+dampener (pfew). Too many screens (TFT, XT2, phone). An AIO-5 Play with compatibility with BMW's nav prep is in the works for late summer 2024, that's what I'm looking at.
I'm a bit worried that since the phone stays in the pocket, it doesn't get power during the ride, but still works hard to get you music, sat nav, etc. so, my question: how is the iPhone's battery holding when in Carplay ? What does an hour ride with music and navigation mean for the phone's battery ? Thanks !!!
Thanks , to be honest an hours ride will have little effect on the phone . I would run a cable into your pocket as a backup, just keep an eye on the battery level on the device and at the next coffee / toilet stop before you move away plug the cable in for the next part of the ride and when the phon e is charged unplug at the next toilet stop if your over a certain age!!!!
If we install the 4-PIN CAN Bus connector on R1250 to enable the BMW wonder wheel to work with the AIO 5, will the BMW wonder wheel still work with the BMW TFT?
Thanks
Yes it will.
Great review of the Chigee and I'm sold. Will be getting one shortly. Question... Can you manually record from the from and rear cameras simultaneously?
The cameras are recording all the time and only switch off when you go into the camera menu to adjust something.
far better than the Capuride for me, like the cameras & detection, just need it to be removable with a BMW dedicated bracket like Capuride. Slightly larger screen would be good too.
Hey, love your videos. Keep it up! I personally don't see the value and use case compared to the cradle. With the cradle, you can use your smartphone for navigation and even have access to apps that are not supported via Android Auto or Carplay for half the price of this unit here. On Ebay, the cradle goes for 130 Euros used which is a steal for what it can do. In your final thoughts, I would have loved to hear how it compares to the cradle. I also disagree with your statement that this thing is the best navigation smart device on the market. The best one is your smartphone and the best interface to bringing it to your bike is the cradle. The only drawback I see with the cradle is that you can only use the wonder wheel in combination with the connected app. If BMW is smart enough to also integrate Android Auto and Carplay with the cradle, there is absolutely no need for devices like these. If you absolutely want to use Android Auto or Carplay on your bike like Honda support on the Africa Twin natively, this device provides that capability. That's at least my opinion on this topic. Have a great weekend and drive safe.
With the cameras it really is the best system on the market, rear camera can be used to aid situational awareness ie rear view mirror.....phone will get shaken to bits and they are not very good in the sunlight in my experience. But it's great to have choices. Yup ride safe too. 😁
I will be waiting for the Chigee that will be removable. They have announced that one on their website. Or the Innovv N1.
Yes, I saw that today, thats why I made mention of it in the video.
I see you have tested this and the Carpuride W702. I'm torn between the 2 as the W702 is cheaper, has a bigger screen and can fit on the original BMW cradle. But the Chigee seems better built and can use the wonder wheel. How do you compare the 2 (for an Android user)?
Permanent fit, if you have the money go with Chigee. Convenience and don't want the cameras, or multiple bikes then Carpuride or even the Chigee Play.
Hi Great review, question which I'm not sure you can answer, if carrying a pillion both on cardo HD can the pillion hear the chigee sat nav instructions etc. I have a tomtom 550 and sat nag can't hear sat nav, not sure if its a cardo thing or tomtom issue. Cheers Robert.
Apologies for massively late response ....wife had too many things for me to do !!!!!! To be honest I am not sure....I would have thought not as you are connected top the Chigee and the 2nd set is connected to you. But I may be wrong. Again sorry for late reply. 🙈 The Chigee is bloody brilliant by the way. Just need to make sure the phone doesn't run out of battery and there have been no issues with my Cardo and the Chigee, works a treat.
@@gsd32i Many thanks for the reply, I eventually got to the bottom of this with Cardo they have "wait for it" stopped this function as they say it's distracting !!!.Quote
"Its a safety function installed via Cardo, sat nav instructions can be confusing/distracting for some driver/pillions." unquote. So you can share music and phone calls but not sat nav defies logic. Regards Robert.
Off topic but is the warning light on your dash caused by the SOS system? Mine has been on for about 3 weeks now!
Yes, bloody thing. Year 2 service due very soon so they can reset it then or whatever it is that they do🙈
@@gsd32i someone on a forum suggested it was caused by 3G being switched off. Sounds plausible but then again the first rule of the internet is never believe what you see on the internet 😂
How do you switch between the TFT and Chigee with the Wonderwheel?
hi . you don’t . the wonder wheel is always active so you just use it normally.
Hi, android 14, I'll try a different phone and let you know. Cheers
I'm having the same issues. I don't think this unit works as well on Android auto as it does with apple car play
I have one fitted to my 2020 R1250gs, I love it, but I'm having problem with voice control, I'm using Google, is there a better one to use? I have a Samsung S22
I take it that you have only got the phone connected via bluetooth to the unit and the headset only connected to the phone?
Yes, I used your installation guide. Brilliant
@@andrewburnley7050 if its still not functioning as it should ,can you try it with a friends phone and see if it is the phone? Does the phone have the latest software?
What I don't understand is how the indicator button works as a confirm? What if you want to cancel the indicators?
If you have a screen open and have something highlighted then the indicator cancelling will confirm the selection, which possibly you didn't want!! Kind of thing you get use to, but the bmw has self cancelling ones......
@@gsd32i Yes but they are not very accurate I would say so I just have a habit to cancel them. I guess there is always sth highlighted when in the CarPlay screen, right?
@@maciejmotochannel I would just let them cancel by themselves and if you manually cancel them its not the end of the world
I’m sure it’s very good but not for me. I’m probably one of the few still working with the Nav VI had it about six or seven years and never had any issues. I don’t need CarPlay as I wouldn’t use any of the functions, although most of the functions I can have through the Nav or the TFT but as I don’t listen to music, don’t take or make phone calls and as you say the BMW already has tyre pressures.
Glad you have had success with the Nav 6. 👍
I've read some reports of issues with the EZ-Can and the Chigee wizzy wheel. Have you had any issues? Do your lights get dim or bright from the wizzy wheel when you're trying to control the Chigee?
All good , no issues .
Lean angle meter?
Nope.🙈
For me it's the size that matters, it's too small. The cameras also have poor parameters and I don't like them visually.
Alright. You want to watch UA-cam or Netflix when riding? It’s a motorcycle not a car? WTH do you need a large screen for and the camera parameters are perfect actually. I don’t know what you are on about.
Hi, If you wear reading glasses, you will understand that size matters.
not so good as it looks like , it jams now to times this chinees product ,not easy to get you money back to.
