Just recieved mine with all the accessories I ordered. Took four days to ship from HK to US. Seems to be well made. Very nice packaging, instruction booklet etc. Can't wait to get it installed on my 2010 Kawasaki voyager.
It seems to work well and doesn't look out of place in the position you have mounted it. Nice one Toby.
Had my first ride on my 2006 GS 1200 with it installed looks like a excellent piece of kit.
BMW behind times with no apple car play,this is very cool. Thanks for sharing 😎🏍💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻
Excellent review!, I have one on order going to fit it to my z1000sx!.
Defo need to come see that on the bike
Totally agree on the mount…make a mount that sits in the RT mount and it’s a plug and play. I have a 2015 RT and this would be an awesome unit great video
This mount does apparently exist on their website.
Because these units were given for free, can we expect a truly open and honest review? Thats my concern when everyone who is reviewing these units have been given them. 🤷♂
If I'd spent £400+ on something like this, I'd expect it to be perfect and last for many years. My concern with this brand is they will disappear in a years time meaning we'd be left with a unit that can't be upgraded so won't work with newer phones.
We get asked this question all the time. We have turned down so many bits of equipment that the producers have asked us for a ‘positive’ review. We only give honest reviews good or bad and we don’t let the producers see the video before it goes out. On equipment we have been given and that can be passed on we do so at our RiderCamTV ride out. Last year we gave away over £3k in equipment at the end of the ride in our raffle. We are sick of UA-camrs who bend to their (manufacture’s) will…
@@TheDervMan a very valuable point , if this device doesn't hit targets it could quite easily be pulled ....
We get asked this a lot but have turned lots of companies down as we don’t get paid for a review. Genuinely this is a great piece of kit
I guess they're at the end of life cycle or not sold from warehouse that they're giving it away. Where is network connectivity, position remote tracking, disabling whole motorcycle...
Regarding mounting, a lot of people will buy this unit for bikes of the pre-TFT era. I have a 2018 Versys and the Chigee mounts will fit a treat. Bit of a pain though for bikes with moulded cockpit areas and pre-fitted TFTs
Nice, They make a mount for BMW nav replacements. Listed as for K1600 and RT
So for a bmw it’s more than 500 pounds. Next to that you always have to power your cellphone because all data comes from your phone and this will drain the battery. That’s a lot but it does look good.
Unit received ok (5 days from hong kong!)-it will just about fit on my handlebar! as i did not want to use the stem method of plug in.
While phone navigation is more convenient and can be more verstatile, I've been in areas with no phone service where the gps continued working.
I do like it very much to replace Nav6 but will wait 12mths
I am interested in the Ultimate ears, I will look to see if you have done a video on them. Thanks!
yep, we have done a few videos about them and they are really great bits of kit :)
I really hope they come out with a RAM compatible mount It's a no brainer with how many people have RAM mounts
very true although they do have a lot of different mounts available on their website, but a generic one would be fab
This sort of unit will really be the finish of bespoke Sat navs ….
That’s why I have ordered and to keep my phone off the bike
Can you do a video to show how you installed the unit on your RT I.e. the canbus adaptor, adaptations to the dash mount etc? I am a ROSPA tutor and will consider getting one of these!
Will see what we can do
@RiderCamTV Thanks. Great channel, by the way.
Can't wait for mine to arrive, again because of you I've spent more money, even my wife agrees its your fault, not mine. 😁😁
The Alps tour will be an awesome test for it…
Awesome :)
Looks like the unit would be a great addition to my Can-Am Spyder. Off topic, being from Denver Colorado USA and a little OCD I notice the road/ traffic markings in UK videos. For us who apparently are driving on the wrong side of the road if you could point out what those markings mean. I plan someday travel to the Uk and rent a bike. Thanks!
It may be worth you buying the UK Highway Code and the book Roadcraft. They will explain everything much better than we could. Drop us a line on the website when you come over. Ride safe
In your intial video introducing this system you made a passing comment along the lines of 'this won't have random disconnects like other CarPlay systems'. You've previously reviewed the Ottocast unit, giving it a glowing review but is the Ottocast one of those units where you experienced random disconnects? I absolutely love tech like this but it needs to work evertime otherwise it's an expesive frustration that I end up not using.
Ottocast was good and didn’t have disconnects and worked well but this system has it all and is much faster and connects every time. I’ve used it for a month daily and it’s worked flawlessly. The best bit is that the headset connects to the phone and phone to the unit itself, while the ottocast connected to both at the same time so more to go wrong I guess
Great review. Out of interest if you were buying a new BMW 1300GS would you bother getting the new BMW ConnectedRide or would you get one of these instead? Also, if you have tyre pressure monitoring already on the bike can Chigee display this by getting the info via the BMW adapter, or do you still need the special Chigee valves? Thanks!
I would get the CHIGEE. The BMW nav is good but can’t really beat CarPlay. You would need the CHIGEE tyre monitors as I don’t think they speak to the BMW fitted ones
I took mine out for the first time today. The thing that I am not liking so far is the turn signal cancellation switch being used as a selector switch. Whenever you use your turn signal and need to cancel, you end up initiating something else when you push the cancellation button. Depending on what item was highlighted in the menu, sometimes it would stop or skip a song or initiate some kind of Apple CarPlay app that was highlighted. They need to change that.
That’s odd. I’ll keep an eye on that but I haven’t had any issue at all so far, but I am mostly on the nav screen when riding.
Would it work on my Enfield classic 350 ? By the way I love your videos as your very honest and detailed 👍🏍️
Hey mate. Yep will work on your bike. You might need the wireless remote to control it when riding but will work yeah. Thanks for the kind words :) ride safe
*Toby, you explain this so well*
Just one question.. is there any way of integrating the BMW “wizz wheel” ?
Thanks buddy. Yeah there is with the chigee obd connector. Check out the first chigee vid we did as all explained on there :)
Hi, I ride a 2022 BMW R 1250 RT and I’m considering order the device with the canbus module. but my question is how does thé bike knows that you use thé wizz wheel for thé Chigee and not for thé bmw menu?
They are working on a BMW version compatible with the GPS prep on the beemer
Hope to review it soon
They do an RT specific mount on the website it's titled.K1600 mount, but the blurb mentions R1200/1250. Can you get one so we can see what it's like?
It’s in the way. As soon as it arrives we will do a video
Second that I would love to see info on the k1600 mount and if it uses the power off the existing prep. I have an RT and was disappointed to learn the new connected ride navigator isn’t supported on the k and RT bikes due to the size.
It needs the ability to install gps navigation software to be used in offline mode. It has gps so why not have playstore availability to install dedicated gps navigation software with offline maps.
Hi, thanks for a excellent rewiew, I have aquestion regarding the connection between the phone and the divice. As you have used it during the rewiew, does it take a lot of battery from your phone?
I thought it would but I’ve used it all day on maps and listening to music and it used very little charge although I’ve got a plus size phone. But used less than I thought it would
@@RiderCamTV thanks for your reply. And it sounds very good that it doesn’t take that much power from the battery. I hope that the company will get a good start so it can last for a long time. And that they will come out with an upgrade so we can detach the unit and use it on another bike as you said.
Hi,
I have the similar bike as you 1250RT 2019 with the same dashboard and I would like to know how you have mounting this product especially how do you plug the 12V. Sorry for my English languages. ✌️😉
Hey buddy. We have mounted it through the BMW sat nav prep mount. We removed the BMW mount. The unit is then wired into a hex ezcan accessory manager which is plugged into the bikes can bus and provides power that way. Hope that helps
@@RiderCamTVThank I hope a solution as ua-cam.com/video/winx013QoYg/v-deo.htmlsi=HJb2KiLeviz2dCOE
Only downside that I can think of is that your phone is now in your pocket, not charging, and being drained by the connection (airplay, music, etc) to the Chigee unit. Do you charge your phone while it is in your jacket? Otherwise, when you get to your destination, your all important phone is not fully charged.... I guess you could keep the phone on the bars and charge it at the same time but that sort of defeats the purpose of carplay and protecting your phone.
I thought the same but haven’t really noticed a huge drain on battery at all to be honest. Have been testing it for over a month now and this hasn’t changed. If I’m on your my battery sometimes drains a little and then I make sure all apps like the camera is totally shut down so it limits the amount of drain when riding, although I have always got an external battery with me or a lead to plug in and charge the phone.
Connect a charging cable to your phone
You two need to get a Harley Road Glide or Indian Challenger or both on a long term loan and do a comparison to your BMW’s. Would be interesting, as I have owned BMW RT and GS and now an R1250R as well as a Harley Road Glide and Indian Challenger.
What if the mobile network goes down? You have to download the maps for your area to your phone, otherwise you could get stuck
I use CarPlay in my car all the time. Never had a problem.
My biggest concern is it’s a kickstarter so couldn’t get financial backing in first place never confident with kickstarter
orders are already being received by people so it looks all good
How did you make it work with wonder-wheel? If you have cansmart dinalli
With the adapter that chigee sell
*can anyone please advise?*
What does this give me that a BMW connected ride device (or perhaps a NAV6) does not ?
The ability to use CarPlay or android auto and also the front and rear dashcams. So you can use any app you need to to navigate
I’ve just installed mine along with the BMW wonder wheel connection. But my handle bar remote doesn’t work even though it says it’s connected. Will the device allow you to have both control options paired at the same time?
I think it’s one or the other to be connected buddy
Thank you! It appears that way. @@RiderCamTV
@@RiderCamTV Just confirmed from the manufacture. You can only use one at a time. I wish their product literature would state that so we don’t order a $100 remote we don’t need. Will probably return the remote.
Hello guys. Do you have to keep charging your phone? Trying to understand if phone battery consumption is significant or not, thank you.
Use it most days with my iPhone and today I rode for 5 hours and loads of charge left in my phone :)
Hope that helps
What does the gps module do if its using mobile phone data. Does it ever use this gps antenna as standalone?
Will update you as will test that out
Do these devices use alot of data , would a cheap mobile phone contract do the job ?
i would say so, i have been using the Chigee on Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps, Scenic and MyRouteApp and havent noticed a huge amount of data being used.
Very good video guys but not everybody has a BMW.
It fits in any bike and the wireless controller will work so doesn’t have to have the BMW can bus connection
I use android auto and when i jabe google maps giving me directions, it keeps going back to home screen. Is there something i am doing wrong?
Not heard of this before. Might be worth contacting chigee support
Is there a UK supplier? US delivery tax is ridiculous
Not sure but check out their website.
@@markholroyd5365 there doesn’t seem to be any UK retailers that carry it which is a shame
They are selling it at three time the original Price, they should reduce the price of it, to be fair. I already saw the original ones sold on Aliexpress and will be defenetly buying it from there, even if is double the price on Amazon, I would get it even there, but the price of the Chigee is to much. Also, i'm sure that the cameras used on you previous setup might be even compatible with the Chigee connectors. I also wante to install on my bike the Auxiliary battery that are use on casr for the night mode, so you are sure not to drain your battery at nigt, but still not sure this systems have a Nightmode and sensors that detect motions.
I guess when a good thing is made people get on board and copy rather than making it themselves.
@@RiderCamTV The problem is that they didn't copy, like a lot of products they are Found in China, but then outsiders want to make money out of it. It is happening more often in our days. Also Chinese cars are sold at higher value in Europe, or Android head units. Like Tom Tom and Garmins, if they came up with this solution it would cost thousands. Chigee can aslo sell it double the price if they give assistance and make it available also in amazon, but 3 - 4 times more, now you are exaggerating! There are also model where you can also hot swap the screen, with one connector instead of having the 3 cables.
Off the subject completely what make and where did you get them gloves mate..sorry
They are Furygan D30 gloves. Can be bought at all good bike shops including Sportsbike shop.
@@markholroyd5365 thank you
@@markholroyd5365
Ordered a pair on the way
FYI If you're in the UK here are the likely imort Tax duties based on the price of $508 (£403) + £109 = £512
Duty & Tax Charges
Duty: 24.19 GBP (Rate of 6 %)
VAT: 85.46 GBP (Rate of 20 %)
Total: 109.65 GBP
Plus the courier admin fee for collecting the customs/duty usually about £10-£15
Could be true although still cheaper than a sat nav camera system tyre pressure system and blind spot system though ;)
Will it fit? Bmwr1200gs 2008
It will fit any bike, you can always use the wireless controller which does what the whiz wheel can do if you got the canbus connector, although you would need to check with your local BMW dealer to see if you have an RDC connection on your bike (usually under the pillion seat). They do an 8 pin or 4 pin version depending on your bike’s need
Does it work and what it shows when phone is not arround?
Yes it works as shown. If the phone is not connected then you can still use the info screens and of course the cameras and BSD do their thing but you won’t have CarPlay if the phone is not connected
Ok, thanks! I then understand navigation works from downloaded maps, right?
I've never got bluetooth to work for anything at all... ever... so yeah.
Not buying anything that has to connect to a phone via bluetooth.
Most bikes don't support OBD2, so looks like it's pretty useless on a traditional carb bike.
WAZE is very useful, but that's about it. You can get that for free on your phone.
You can of course get the wireless controller as shown in the videos that will work directly with the unit so will work with any bike. The Bluetooth is really easy to connect and as it has an only one connection from the phone it works every time. Not had any disconnects in over 2 months of daily riding and testing
How is it in full sunlight, my TomTom becomes useless when the sun is shining on the display….
Not had any problems so far. Screen is easy to see and works well
