That's very impressive. BMW should pay Chigee to make their Nav App! Comes to something when a 3rd party can make better integrated products than the company that created the bike ☹
You don't understand the concept of a Chigee: it is not a navigator, it is only mirrorring (sort of) the apps that you installed on your phone via Android Auto or Carply.😊
@@Rammit_Inha_Assol I fully understand the concept of these units. That's my point, why reinvent the wheel when everyone already has a phone with Android Auto/Car Play.
Guys if you use MRA Navigation you can select to use Garmin or Tom Tom to calculate your routes and it works through Carplay. There has been a couple of times on my XT that it wouldn't take me down a particular road as if the road had an obstruction but with MRA you can just opt to use Tom Tom mapping. There is usually a trial period so worth a try.
thanks for the tip buddy. We have used MRA for a few years now and is a great app, and we regularly use the tomtom and garmin layers to calculate the route, but now you have me thinking that if i set garmin as the map it will follow as if it was a garmin when using carplay. will have to experiment :)
Nope navigation Always uses here maps
Great vid as usual , thanks. I've got used to using the BMW Connected app as a backup to my Nav iV, so I can definitely see the advantage in having the Chigee. You can use the Connected app as your GPS, with turn by turn on the BMW display, the mapping on your phone using Quad Lock and the choice of using Google Maps and the like on the Chigee screen. A more cost effective reason to ditch the BMW Nav iV at last.
Thanks guys, just used the discount code for the bmw play, saved me some wonga!
Great video! Already prebought mine. Really, a "game chnager".
Love this, just ordered it 👍🏻👍🏻
Why bother with the wheel if you can just use the touch screen? Nice kit, I’m tempted to get it.
Just a heads up that the discount code is not showing as valid. Cheers.
sorry, we posted the wrong one... use RIDERCAMTVBMW for the BMW play version and RIDERCAMTV for the rest :)
Hi guys great video I have tried to buy one but your code doesn’t seem to work 😢😢
Confirmed, only the pre-sale discount 5% is available.
sorry, we posted the wrong one... use RIDERCAMTVBMW for the BMW play version and RIDERCAMTV for the rest :)
A new set of blue tooth cameras for the bmw version would hopfully be the next step. The cameras being hard wired to the bike due to voltage limitations.
Looks like an excellent piece of kit. This is the future.
Here.
Now!
Great video and reporting.
Keep it up guys 😊
thanks buddy, it certainly is the way forward we think. so much better than using branded sat navs, although if Garmin made an iphone/android app it would be the icing on the cake!
I ordered one for my 2012 k1600
As someone who struggled reading the speedo on a late model non TFT GS, this would have been superb.
I have tried MRA navigation and TomTom go on android auto. MRA is getting better but still lacks functionality, TomTom go is poor, therefore I am sticking with Garmin XT for tours.
Nothing beats a proper sat nav for tours
very true, although this is a great start and im sure that in time the apps will get better
@@RiderCamTVagreed I just think car play interface does not lend itself to small screens, in the car the 8 inch screen is much better
Waiting for the delivery. Right now just saying August. Fingers crossed it actually shows up. Thanks for the code and cost reduction.
It will be worth the wait buddy. The unit is awesome
Used the code. Thanks fellas! Does this thing have a battery? I've left on a 1A charger for most of the day but nowt work when I try to switch it on. Cheers.
No probs buddy. I battery in there to worry about but you need more power than that to run it from a socket. When it’s got power it will be fine
Great video as always chaps. Someones mentioned MRA below, does the MRA app on your phone work with CarPlay? I normally upload gpx routes from the app on my phone to my XT which is seamless and easy to do. Having applecar play would be great but if I can't use MRA the chigee is a no go for me
Yeah the MyRoute-app works well with apple car play
@@RiderCamTV Fab thank you
can't wait to get mine and sell the connected ride cradle.............
Hi guys, I love the show. I own the chigee aio lite w/cams and love this bmw play. In your video, how are you mounting 2 units?
We mounted the play on the BMW prep mount and the lite on the cross bar on the gsa. On the rt we used the lossless mount to mount on the BMW sat prep
Thanks. Perhaps I wasn't clear or don't understand. In this specific video they look to be both mounted together on the same bike (GS). If the footage captured the backside of the devices, I could tell. Hope this makes more sense. I sincerely appreciate the "cycles" and again LOVE the channel!!
The comfort of the AIO-5 Play for BMW plus a covenient integration of the 2 cameras and a bigger screen ... that would be my dream solution ! Is that possible ?
Does it fit the R1200RT ? That would be awesome if it did and get rid of the NAV 6
I have a 2014 1200RT and I was wondering exactly the same thing. If it does, this would be the perfect solution.
It will fit the BMW 1200 RT if you have the sat prep and will be plug and play. I will test on Barney and see if the functionality works with the wheel. On the 2023 version RT I have the unit works flawlessly although it does not allow you to switch from TFT to NAV which is a real pain. But on the older models of RT it should work
@@RiderCamTV cheers ..thanks so much…you guys are awesome.
@@MWS1960awesome, I like that. Ride safe
That’s mine bought with your discount code thanks 👏
Ok, I'm curious about this... Around $499 = £389 roughly. Not a bad price considering the alternatives as you mentioned. Sorry guys your discount doesn't work.
Its currently being funded by Kickstarter, and includes screen protector for £326 I think with the 15% discount.
sorry, we posted the wrong one... use RIDERCAMTVBMW for the BMW play version and RIDERCAMTV for the rest :)
Great review and honest 👍
Cannot get that discount code to work at all? Too bad…
Just ordered thanks for the code
I’m wondering if this is a better idea than the Garmin xt. I do like the speed cameras functionality in the Garmin pitty google maps doesn’t have that functionality.
Have you tried scenic? Awesome nav app and allows you to import GPX files too
@@RiderCamTV I had a play with the app but it wouldn’t let me do much unless I subscribe
I’m trialling Sygic at the moment and that has speed camera functionality in Australia.
Very interesting development. Will it fit the BMW R1250 RT 2019 ?
yes it will. If you have the sat prep from BMW it will just plug and play as shown.
Hello. So I have bought one of these.Really happy with it but there is no info on the battery and how to manage the battery. I leave the unit on my bike in the cradle. I don't ride every day. When I do ride and the Chigee starts up it says "low battery". Not really a problem yet because it is new but won't there be a deterioration issue with the battery if I keep doing this. There is no info/instructions on this. Should the unit be removed from the bike when not riding?
There is no battery in there. It is probably telling you that you that your bike battery is getting low
I guess when you press the "cancel" indicators to cancel the indicators it doesnt start up the Chigee feature everytime ?
Only when your not navigating or if you are and have the tft active it does not start Siri.
The SD card allows you to play music locally.
For me if it just mirrors your phone I'll use my phone and save a few hundred quid. Prefer a dedicated sat nav and my nav 6 has character 😁
MAV 6 certainly does have character and was and still is a great unit to be fair. As you say having a dedicated nav option is always a good option when touring,
My iphone over heated in the sun and quit working and what about the rain the chigee is water prroof
I simply don’t get it - you can get the CR phone cradle and use your phone - since this item simply mirrors that anyway. There are also rumours you lose the speed limit warning on the TFT - unless (I guess) you still have (wait for it) your phone connected to the bike……..I understand Innov have a new unit on the way -lets see if thats any better🤷🏼
Nice video, thanks for explaining the product. Not really convinced, I use my phone directly. So, nickable and very re-saleable as its blanked already?, unless it can be locked to your phone, so useless when stolen? I imagine it is attractive for those who do not have a TFT screen already. Happy travels 😎
very ture, although same scenario as the sat nav. Lock or no lock, if someone wants to steal it they will. Some horrible people out there! A lock function would be a great idea though
I hate the fonts that it uses, and I don't understand why it duplicates the main info from the TFT (speed, RPM - even using a tachometer that looks almost exactly like the one on the TFT), but outside of that, it looks pretty amazing. I don't know if I can justify the extra expense for the BMW navigator, even though I want a discrete GPS, rather than using a phone app.
not for everyone, although i think that the information that they show from the BMW bikes is replicating the information that the NAV6 had. Just shows that if a company puts their minds to it they can move the tech envelope forward and away from proprietary products i guess :)
@@RiderCamTV BMW are not idiots so why don’t they just add apple car play to their connected ride navigator? I don’t get it.
@@ronadler4442 You are wrong! They are idiots :)
If this had the facility to download and use apps then I think I would use it. It seems to me that having to access apps through your phone is an unnecessary step.
Hi. I am thinking of trading in my 1250GSA for a 1250 RT. I currently use Calimoto on my phone for Nav but how could I mount this unit on a RT?
So to run this in parallel with the Nav5 or Nav6 I can simply add a lossfree mount? Is that a Chigee item?
I would like to run the Chigee in the BMW cradles of my R1200 GSA and my 2012 K1600 while running a Nav6 alongside. The Nav6 doesnt need to work with the wheel, Im happy to use touch on it. How would I go about making this work?
I currently use both on my GSA by interchanging between them.
Nowt wrong with the Carpenters😅
Just wondering : Waze being illegal in some countries, I guess you have to uninstall it every time you travel there, and reinstall afterwards. What navigation app do you use to avoid this ?
is that due to the speed camera warnings? not had an issue while on tour but using MRA or Scenic means has worked. Can you turn off those warnings in the settings on Waze?
@@RiderCamTV Yes, the speed camera warnings are forbidden. A friend of mine got a 1200€ fine in Switzerland last year just for having Waze on his phone (even though not using it 😱) ; same in Germany (although the fines are more « human friendly 😉 »).
Thx for the answer 👍
Using Waze, is allowed in Switzerland. The Swiss made an agreement with Waze and they removed all speed cameras on Swiss territory from their database.
@@ronadler4442 Going there in September, just saw that yesterday on the Waze community 👍
Are there import duties into the uk if I buy direct from Chigee.
I currently place my phone into the cradle for navigation and music, it charges at the same time, could you tell me the advantages of having this instead?
Bigger screen and from our point of view. Not having your life (phone) on the handlebars
There is more:
- waterproof
- BMW wonder wheel works
- 5 inch screen is still small (not much bigger then my Android Phone)
- Google Assistent does not work while using a bluetooth headset (Chigee is working on this)
- if you have an iPhone: go for it
- if you have an Android Phone > check Chigee support forum about Google Assistent support before you buy one
- you still need to use (and charge via USB) your phone and connect it wireless to the Chigee
- when using MRA and some other apps, you need to set a route on your phone first, then put your phone away
- if you want to change your route, you need to stop and park your bike and get your phone
Hi Great video.. can you still have your BMW connected ride app running in the background and how do you pair with Senna SRL3 (i guess the same way as you do with the Connected ride app ?)
Not sure buddy. I think I saw a post on Facebook on the Chigee global account that some one was doing just that without issue but I never use the BMW connected app purely cause I don’t like it 🤣
Gracias por el código descuento. Te debo una cerveza,cuando llegue el producto
Great stuff. Enjoy :)
Discount code doesn't work? :(
sorry, we posted the wrong one... use RIDERCAMTVBMW for the BMW play version and RIDERCAMTV for the rest :)
Hello, l love your channel. I have a question. When navigating with Waze or Google Maps, Chigee uses the iPhone's microphone and not that of the headset. So navigating with voice command does not work, but when navigating with Siri, the microphone of my headset is used. Does everyone have this problem?
Hey. Thanks for the kind words. Not noticed this but will take a look
**WARNING** Chigee does NOT support voice control when using Android Auto and a bluetooth headset!!
Big disadvantage that you should know before bying the Chigee!
This is what I've been waiting for from BMW. It's gonna blow connectedride out of the water because of apple car play. I wonder if you cannot lock it with a code and if it can be located by Apple Find my devices app.
that would be a great idea
What about the sound quality with a Sena Srl? Using Sena with the BMW app and the iphone craddle, i would get crapy quality.
great sound quality with our Cardo's no cracking or breaking up at all
Will it work on a 1200GS
Yes if you have the BMW sat prep to fit it on
Do you need to have a phone to get the GPS maps working? Is it using maps off your phone as you can not download any maps to this device? Does it require a phone connection to use a map offline?
Yes buddy. You need the phone connected as it mirrors the content to the device in CarPlay or android auto. It takes the data from your phone and doesn’t store anything on the device itself. If you are using offline maps, they will be on your phone and therefore you need to connect it to the Chigee. Unless you connect the phone to the Chigee it won’t display your apps
@@RiderCamTV Thank You. I think I will try and find your review on the Garmin XT and its install for the BMW as I want a stand alone GPS unit and no phone needed.
How is phone battery consumption doing while using Chigee?
it does drain the battery and with an iphone 15 pro max using it all day, it drained the battery to about 50% so not too bad, although i made sure that my phone had somewhere to charge just in case.
@@RiderCamTV thanks for info, it doesn't sound very bad than!
Just made a pledge on kickstarter for BMW Chingee :) I always have cable at the ready and USB socket on my F 750 GS.
Looking forward to try it out since i have BMW GPS holder for the car as well :)
Your code doesn't seem to work guys...
sorry, we posted the wrong one... use RIDERCAMTVBMW for the BMW play version and RIDERCAMTV for the rest :)
whats the discount code?
It’s in the video description
No one tells everyone with a danali can smart can bus that they both use the same commands
So there is conflicts that interferes with each other
Not had any conflicts yet
Another satnav reliable on phone signal 🤷🏻♂️ yeah il bin my navigator 6 for that 😂😂😂😂
Can you fix the code?
The new discount code is in the video description. Use RIDERCAMTVBMW at checkout at Chigee.com
Oh a bit late on this one! Every other influencer did this last week!!
Wanted to make sure it was good before releasing a video
Discount is not working! … same as the codes from other channels! Why!!!???
sorry, we posted the wrong one... use RIDERCAMTVBMW for the BMW play version and RIDERCAMTV for the rest :)
**Warning** Chigee does NOT support voice control with Android Auto using a bluetooth headset yet! (Chigee says the are working on it)
I returned my Chigee and got a full refund.
Nearly same price with bmw navigator :( so i prefer bmw..
To small
same size screen as the NAV6
its still way overpriced, it would cost about 25 bucks to make
Have you made one?
