That sucks. Nothing really, it just works out of the box. See the portion of the video where I go over controlling Chigee with wonderwheel. Let me know if that doesn’t work.
I live in a very hot climate. I have found only the Garmin Zumo XT series to not shut off in the summer heat of direct sunlight.. Will this stay turned on in the hot direct sun like we have in Arizona?
Hello! I have not used it in extreme heat but have used it in the summer here in New York without issue. It doesn’t really get that hot while using. The device has good heatsink behind. Not sure if this helps your case though. Many reviews mention that their customer service is great.
Hi, thanks for your review! A question for you: is it possible to connect to Chigee and record the ride using the BMW Motorrad Connect app? In short, is it possible to connect the BMW app to the motorcycle and use Chigee at the same time? If Chigee records the rides, that might also be ok, but I haven't found this answer anywhere.
Yes you can absolutely record rides on BMW app. Just make sure your app is open. You can tell if app is working in background if the motorcycle display shows speed limit.
Thanks for the video , very informative as I unboxesd my Chigee today and was scratching head as like you noticed the lock button appears to be in the wrong place .. So the Lock button is on the right hand side ? The power next to it ? It seems that the cover sticker and literature are wrong ..
Yes the cover sticker was wrong. It’s exactly how it showed in the video. In reality though I don’t really use any of the buttons. Even in rain the screen was fine. But it’s good to know that you can lock it in case there are any issues due to rain on the touch screen.
Thank you 😊 Intereting question. I don’t have it setup like that. I connect Cardo directly to phone and control music volume with roller on Cardo. Also CarPlay doesn’t have interface to control volume so it had to be an external device to Chigee. Either your phone or buttons on communicator. Hope that helps.
Hey Frank! Since Chigee is screen mirror of your phone, if the phone app shows the info it will show it. There are two screens to select from that show bike data and the third one is CarPlay.
@FranksBmwAdv It’s standard 1 yr on this one but the support is really good from what I’ve read online so far. You can also buy extended 2yrs warranty from them. If you decide to purchase any products from them use code NINERPEAK at checkout for 20% off on accessories. Sadly since Chigee for BMW is new product so they don’t offer 20% on that. But screen guard and other accessories will qualify.
Haha 😆… yes, that GS has been on BDR already just not on the day I received it when I shot the video. Yeah I don’t choose to ride in upper 90s. Btw I do not know whose account is this. So not sure who am I chatting with 😁
Thanks man, helpful. I couldn’t get my wonderwheel working
Do you have AIO 5 for BMW? Or Play?
@@ninerpeak I have AiO-5 for BMW, what do I need to do to get it working?
That sucks. Nothing really, it just works out of the box. See the portion of the video where I go over controlling Chigee with wonderwheel. Let me know if that doesn’t work.
@@jayrajb hold your menu button up to change to nav(on your bike)
Just ordered one for my GS!
Awesome!! You can also get 20% off with code NINERPEAK at the checkout for accessories like screen guard. Unfortunately, not yet for AIO-B
Nice I should try for my GS

Hello m8. Are you able to open the BMW connected ride app on the chigee? Thks
No, unfortunately BMW Motorrad app doesn’t support CarPlay. BMW will have to update it to allow on CarPlay.
Have you formatted the SD card that came with the device?
No I have not. There’s no need to.
@@ninerpeak Thank you for answering me. I want to congratulate you on your video.
@MasterCoach1955 thank you very much 😊

Thanks for the excellent vid … just one question … how to I up/down volume on my headset connected to Chigee?

What about all the other data info that you get on Nav 6. Can you see that on chigee? Can you do custom screens? Another great video! 🫵👍

@@ninerpeak wow thats great, i was not aware of this unit. my nav 6 has been replaced 3 times under warranty. Whats the warranty on that unit? Thanks

too bad that code doesn't work for that model
That’s true but you can still use 20% code for screen guard. Don’t forget to add that to your cart when you checkout 😊 if you decide to buy Chigee.
how activate siri please?
Since Chigee doesn’t have sound capability, you would need to activate Siri from your comm device. I use Cardo so I say “hey siri” and it just works.
What no Waffle House App! Can't go out in the heat and no dirt in that GS. Were going to have a lot to cover at the next BMW club meeting. 😉
