Great review! It's really well done mate and looks like an amazing addition. Don't worry about the speedo all vehicles read slow and get worse the faster you go it's normal the gps is way more accurate.
Weirdly, I had the same issue with my rear TPMS sensor, but mine was on a brand new Harley. Exact same thing, front went on easy, and the rear started letting air out. I thought I was an idiot! Eventually sprayed some WD40 and did manage to get it on there sealed up properly, but it took me way longer than I thought it ever would. Its one of those situations where you get 95% through a project, and the last “easy” step takes longer than the rest of the project! I will say though, the Chigee is probably the best accessory I've ever purchased for my bike. I've been using it for a few months now, every single time that I ride, and it’s flawless. The only thing I would fix would be to waterproof the USB connection. I had to use silicone which means that its not simple to take out. Otherwise it's brilliant.
I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me. It was driving me crazy that something as simple as screwing something onto a valve stem was giving me an issue. The weird thing is I have a Fobo Bike2 TPMS sensors and tried those and they went on fine!! Maybe I'll have to give the Chigee ones another chance as there could have been some crud stuck in the threads. But yeah, I love this Chigee device. I too will need to do something about waterproofing the USB connection. I was thinking maybe even a little electrical putty, so that it seals it, but still easily removable if needed.
Yes it all works well, except when I use a navigation app (android auto) the street names on the Chigee screen are so small, you just can't read them and I can't find a way to enlarge them.
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 a question/ problem. When navigating through voice with Waze or Google Maps, Chigee uses the iPhone's microphone and not that of the (Senna) headset. So navigating while riding with Google/ Waze voice command does not work. Because my phone is in my pocket. But when navigating with Siri, the microphone of my headset is used. Do you have the same issue?
See my previews message. Voice Control is not supported yet in Android Auto while using a bluetooth headset. (Chigee says they are working on it) But with iPhone it should work fine.

This is the best review of this product on TH-cam by far. Real-world scenarios and real-world usage! I am now confident in buying this product.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and commenting. Safe travels!

Thanks for watching and replying! Yeah, the speedo thing drives me nuts. You would think in this day and age motorcycle speedo's would be accurate!

Where can I get the power connector that has the usb on the other end
Have you tested to see if voice commands work with Android?
Voice control is NOT yet supported with Android Auto and a bluetooth headset...😢
Hmmm. I'll have to test this out with my Android
Chigee has admitted and say they are working on it
