If I was the guy who developed the BMW connected ride navigator, I’d watch this explanation of Chigee and I’d hang myself.
I received mine last week. I was one of the first supporters of the indiegogo campaign. Real good build quality.
Brilliant, looking fwd to seeing this on your next video where presumably you put it to the test in the wild.
i got mine last week as well, love it so far.
Going to get one of these too, also use a 2015 RT for my daily commute :)
Great video. I just ordered one because of your video. Thanks!
Awesome. You’ll love it
Nice in-depth review. Thank You.
Thank you so much guys, I bought the chigee based on your recomendation and it is fantastic, ridden with it fitted and fully functional 3 times already, absolutely everything you said it would be. Delighted, thank you boys. 😁😁👌👌👍👍
Glad we could help buddy. We love it too :)
Great stuff, perfectly explained
I like it, lll let it be out for a while before buying one. Just needs someone to make an adapter for the bmw nav mount
Maybe innov will perfect the system
very nice front and rear dashcamera :) installed on my yamaha mio gear
Interesting take!
Great product. Thanks for getting us through. Will you be able to tell and show more about how you fit it to your RT?
Yeah we can do something :)
In the process of fitting mine but where do I find the plug for the wiggy wheel remote - same RT as yours@@RiderCamTV
Still loving the chigee esp as I can control music maps via Siri much easier than through Sena or Garmin
Great idea! If they deliver any. Lets see.
Some people have already started to get them apparently
Got mine today. Ordered after the video came through.
Wow, amazing! Well I just installed a Carpuride for 180€. 700€ street is a bit steep, but still with cameras, gps, radar and all this. Good stuff. Maybe in a few years
But is carpuride for motorcycle that gets all the elements from the outside?
Not sure I understand the question. Carpuride must have been the inspiration. Otherwise it looks to be a step up in concept. Very interesting!
@@os6219 I saw carpuride on Amazon and found only in-car products and not water proof ones I believe.
I'm seriously considering this Chigee unit for the GSA.
Only disappointment is the in-tyre monitoring does not have replaceable batteries... 1-year life is not very economical.
I had a giggle ... You old-skool Trance Anthem lover... just like me hahahaha
PS. Love your content, keep it up.
Thanks so much buddy. Ride safe
What can I say, gimme gimme gimme. 👍👍
I can't remember if you mentioned it or not in the video but it also can be used as a sentry monitor when the bike is parked up. So if someone bumps into your bike or tries to nick it, it will record video of the time and store it. It's an impressive bit of kit for the money I have to say.
I don’t get the sentry mode if bike is turned off there’s no power to chigee
Received mine last Thursday only ordered the Unit and remote to start not been out to test it yet. Seen a few other reviews and all like it
Please post a review?
awesome stuff! we think it is a game changer :)
I ordered one yesterday. It looks amazing to me.
Got my chigee yesterday fitted it to my Ducati multi 1260 & it is fantastic shame that they haven’t got a ram mount .got it at indiegogo price but I can see some people r selling it in uk for £500 plus. IMHO it’s too much why don’t bike manufacturers put this in first place TPMS CarPlay camera BSD surely way forward. Bought a Greenyi CarPlay cameras TPMs for £170 for my bmw R9t only missing BSD, this is the way forward. Chigee finish is great as is their packaging instructions etc. don’t fear Chinese look apple make all their computers in china.
High praise for the Chigee indeed! Carplay and wizz wheel control looks great. In fact far more impressive the BMW ConnectedRide Navigator. I'm curious to see how different navigation apps look on screen. I'm currently running a Nav6 on a GS and create routes with MyRouteApp, but using MyRouteApp for both routing and nav with Chigee display could simplify the technical tangle?
Couldn't agree more!
Toby, what you didn’t hit on is when you stall the bike and have to restart. CarPlay has to be reinitiated through the phone. Hard to do if inside your pocket. Maybe this system is diff…Everything else is great. 👍🏽😉
If you restart the bike it starts up as it would if you stopped the bike and it connect automatically without any interaction with your phone
Looks great. One question does the BSD warning appear on all menus or just camera view. Look forward to the test ride video 👍
hey buddy, yeah the BSD warning appears on all the screens as you ride including carplay and any app you are using :)
Great vid you doing an install vid
we might be able to although the install is really simple (well, once you find a place to install it) ... will see what we can do
Hi guys! Thanks for the Chigee AIO-Lite video. I have a BMW R1200RT LC (2015). I have located the RDC point (box) under the rear seat and assume that I plug the unit into that with the pigtail accessory? However, you refer to the RDP point on "Barney"? Did you actually mean the RDC port (that I can find) or the RDP port that I can't find?
Hey. Yep it’s the rdc point under the seat. Was a fraudulent slip on our part 🤣
Dang it, just fitted the last one of these you featured. On a 2011 RT so probably not as useful as with yours. Just got to wire it in with everything else as it's going through an accessories rewire atm
Wow looks a Great bit of Kit definitely gonna be a Game changer, providing there are no Bad Gremlins , only time will tell. Chigee bit of a naff name tho..!!!! If this works, it seems that normal sat navs may be obsolete...!!! Watch this space..!!!
Ps come on Toby White Bmw RT, Tutor on your vest....!!! Please just join the police and get a real police jacket..!!!! Only Bit of playful Banter 😊 getting back to the unit, be interested on a year ahead Review....!!!!
Bit pricey though......
Great Video as always! i believe you used the EZcan to connect it. Did you just created a connector (from the spare ones) and connected to the live of one of the channels of the ezcan? what was the fuse you gave to the ezcan? Sorry for the load of questions but i am not mechanic orientated!
Hey buddy, yeah we used a spare circuit on the hex ezcan and made a connection from the spare ends we had. I think the fuse was 3amp so we used that on the hex ezcan, but check your fuse on the chigee and use that rating. Hope that helps
@@RiderCamTV cool thanks for tip. One more thing, what did you do with the yellow wire did you wire it together with the red or did you use the yellow from the ezcan (3wires connector) cheers vitor
Quick tip the double sided sticky wasn’t very good on my fenders so I used superglue as well . Also pls check u have enough clearance on wheels esp front brake disc which wasn’t on my duke 1260 but ok on my r9t
Thanks buddy :)
Nice video,but how do you control the bmw tft screen?can you switch between the two?and how does that work
The TFT screen is operated by the wiz wheel as normal.
Built in TFT go out of date, either completely or companies like good old BMW charge a fortune to upgrade software/firmware. Makes the price of this device more realistic and prices will come down. And it would be good if OEMs quit the TFTs, concentrated on the bike and charged lower prices.
Very interesting 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻
I love using CarPlay on tour in my car but can not change or set new route without data available to my phone so I rely on an actual gps in those situations, I assume the Chigee gps dongle is only to provide coordinates for the camera, does it help in the “no data available” situation I described above?
Will have to try with the data off and see what happens but the gps seems to provide the location for the apps. So in scenic and tomtom having downloaded the maps it should work but will test :)
Very good device. BTW, like your reflectorised Jacket, what brand is it? Cheers
It’s from urban glow
Hi Toby. Thanks to you and Mark for all the great videos. I have a 2017 R1200RT LC and I have just bought a Chigee. Have you had any issues installing the tire pressure monitor on the front wheel? Some say it conflicts with the brake caliper. Cheers to you and Mark. Alan from Australia.
Hey buddy. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like the vids. No, didn’t have any issues with the 2016 RTP and the clearances for the tyre pressure monitor sensors and the brake calipers but see on line that some have had issues. On the new rt I’ve not fitted them as have the BMW installed ones. I didn’t even know there was an issue until it surfaced online but have checked mine and they clear with not much room to spare but do clear ok :)
Ride safe buddy
@@RiderCamTV Thanks Toby, You mentioned that you assisted an installation for a friend who uses Android Auto. Has your friend had any issues with his BT headset communicating with the Chigee? I have a Samsung phone and a Packtalk Bold headset and will use Android Auto. Cheers Alan
Are you not using the Ottocast system now? What is the better CarPlay system in your opinion? Cheers
Both are good but the AIO-5Lite has lots more features
Toby can you move from app to app with the wonder wheel and select the app or is it to just change the screens like you showed in the video.
You can use the whizz wheel (press to right or left) and then press the cancel indicator to select the app
That’s great thanks 👍
Great review. Loved all the discussion/commentary from a practical use standpoint about how it overcomes so many previously existing road blocks of convenient use vs current nav "solutions". I have a 2012 Honda ST 1300 & I am pretty certain I'm going to purchase a Chigee. I just need to figure out how/where to mount the screen. I have no accessibile round mounting bar & handlebars are not round either to fit the Chigee mount attachment that is provided in the kit. I'm going to have to come up with an entirely bike-specific inventive mounting solution. Currently I just use my phone for music/nav in a Ram mount that is attached (with extended Ram screws) in the bolt holes that hold the clutch lever/brake fluid reservoir bracket onto my handlebar. In theory I could mount the Chigee screen there but it would be quite exposed from a potential theft standpoint. Any solutions from fellow Honda ST1300 riders would be appreciated. Thx
tough one indeed! some bikes are great for mounting things and others arent, although i did see a post on facebook some time ago that someone mounted theirs on the dash using a quadlock mount to the dash and a ram mount for angling it in the right place and a quadlock mount to the rear of the unit. might be worth a shot.
That’s very impressive 😎 not cheap though!
it is impressive, although not cheap, adding up the individual costs of buying all the capabilities in separate devices certainly makes this a cheaper and easier option ;)
@@RiderCamTV You say that but....... I spent a lot of money on the INNOVV K2 when it came out as jsut wanted something 'that worked'. It was easily the worse on board cam I've ever used. Sometimes it wouldn't start up, then if I used the high beam the unit would crash. Fitting Ferrite rings to the power supply cable helped but never fixed it. Whereas my £100 VSYSTO setup has been perfect over the last 3 years. TPMS I have a £25 solar powered unit from Ali. So I've got all I 'need' for £130. The Ottocast would make more sense for me but it needs to be 100% reliable and it's super difficult to tell that from YT reviews.
Thanks for your video. I have a 2010 RT - do you think it would work with the older models? Thanks
I think it only needs a device holder… Let us know how you get on,
Thanks Mark
the unit works on any bike. the canbus adapter has either an 8 pin or 4 pin version so check with your local BMW dealer to see if the RDC unit is on your bike and can take the connection, otherwise the wireless remote is an awesome addition as does the same thing although without the whizz wheel
Liquid child diving faces ❤ 🎵
Spoken vavigation through carplay is done through the carplay device - so how do you get turn-by-turn instructions through your headset when using this device?
As your headset is connected to your phone and your phone connected to the chigee the turn by turn instructions goes straight to your headset
Is it possible to rotate it in portrait mode, like the Ducati Desert X or the Yamaha Tenere 700?
Don’t think it is. To be fair I didn’t check before mounting it but with the hard buttons on top is don’t think you can
Guys - keep in mind - the BMW wheel control module for CHIGEE is 4 pin for 1200RT - not 8 pin as advertised in Chigee website.
Thanks buddy. That’s the one we had :)
Can you zoom in and out of maps using the wiz wheel? Too bad you can't load the connected ride app on to it.
you can move the selection of the icons with the whizz wheel to the plus or minus and do it that way :)
@@RiderCamTV I have TPMS on the 22 GSA will i still need the caps for the valves stems? Or will the canbus pick it up? Thank you for all the feedback!
This looks great and I like your review, but there seems to be virtually the same devices on Aliexpress for around £150. I'm not trying to knock this product but I'd like to know what's different about this one that justifies another £300?
Probably the build quality as this is really well made and after a month of testing everyday, it hasn’t let us down yet
It looks like you can use the wonderwheel to move around within apps, e.g. play/pause/select playlist in Spotify. How do you then get back to the main Apple CarPlay screen, using the wheel only and not touching the screen, for example to then go back to your navigation app of choice?
I’m so close to buying one of these but need to make sure I can flick between Scenic and Spotify and choose menu options in both apps without touching the screen.
With the whizz wheel to move from screen to screen, I.e you press to the left and hold for a couple of seconds to move from CarPlay to the main menu. If you are in a screen such as apple carplay you press the which wheel right or left briefly and it moves from icon to icon and then you press in the indicator button (as if to cancel an indicator) to select a different icon etc. doesn’t effect your indicator or if you are indicating and selecting I think the indicator takes presidence
hope this helps
@@RiderCamTV thanks. It was the one thing that none of the reviews covered. I’ve seen other devices with a remote instead of the wheel control, but they’re all limited to answer/hang up on calls or pause/resume music.
I like the idea of being able to use the wheel to do things in Scenic like skip waypoint, which is something I can currently do using a combination of Scenic/WunderLINQ and an old iPhone mounted as a nav device on a Quadlock wireless charging mount. The drawback of that setup is the screen in the sun. It’s not too bad as I did 2,000 miles in Spanish sun in two weeks, but I think the Chigee screen would be better.
This looks really interesting! Do you happen to know if r1200rs is listed as a bike that will work with this unit? I use calimoto app on my phone via quadlock... but an option to operate navigation etc via bmw wheel... is really tempting!
If it works for a gsa/gs/rt I see no reason why it wouldn’t work on the rs. Let us know if get one.
Calimoto does not have android auto :(
the unit will work on any bike, you might have to ask Chigee themselves if the canbus add in will work but they do offer an 8 pin or 4 pin adapter for the canbus so may work. cant see any reason why not as the RDC unit or plug i guess is the same, but i would check with your local BMW dealer to make sure first. You could always opt for the wireless controller instead, if the canbus adpater does not work with your bike as this adds the same functionality, albeit not on the whizz wheel though
Were you able ride with under bright sun? How did it look?
The screen is nice and bright and in sunshine I haven’t had an issue seeing the screen yet
Do they have the CanBus plugin for other bikes too, or just BMW?
I think it’s just BMW at the moment
I'll wait for the Mk2 version.
Wait for the mk3
Might not make it past the press give aways
its already shipping to some early supporters
So can i install it on my KLR & finally have a tacho.?
Yep
I don’t understand how anyone can safely ride a bike and operate the features on a TFT whilst riding. Crazy!
I know. I got fined €200 + 3 points in Spain for listening to a podcast on my iPod Nano using wired earphones in my car. Yet you can ride a bike whilst playing about with these or GoPros, sat navs, Insta360’s etc
Not sure why you would play around with it while riding. If your navigating just follow it like a normal sat nav.
Isn’t wired considered hands free
Given its waterproofness, does it have a mount for a swim board😅
I would hope so….
Does the touchscreen work with ordinary leather gloves?
I have been using my furygan james gloves and not had an issue as the screen has worked with them
Can you install and used bmw connected motorrad app?
Unfortunately not as it’s not CarPlay compatible
Google says thank you for sharing your motor life with them.
If you have a phone you share it with them anyway, that’s how they know a road is congested 🤣
Does the ball mount still fit a RAM mount?
The ball mount is smaller that a ram mount but may fit it
Help me please, I have a 2016 R1200rtp bit for the life of me can't find a connection for both the EzCan or the Chigee. HELP
The connection if I remember right for the ezcan and Chigee are under the hump on the right hand side (looking from behind the bike). It’s the only one with 4 pins on that side of the bike. That’s where I plugged in and they both work :)
Where did you get the RDC splitter cable?
For the chiggee unit we got it from them. Comes in the box with the whizz wheel controller module
@@RiderCamTV Tyvm. I ordered one and the dongle. This is something I’ve been looking for.
Or buy a refurb iPhone SE like I did for a fraction of the price and use it as satnav/riding phone. It’s a game changer for your bank account!
Could do that of course, although this unit is fab
@@RiderCamTVit’s far too expensive, if it was around the £250 mark then perhaps
where is possible to by i´m in Portugal and i have RT1200LC like that
Not sure buddy. But they probably ship to you from their website
how did you manage to control the chigee with your bmw built in control wheel?
We fitted the CGRC remote control for BMW can bus to the rdc port. They sell it as an accessory
@@RiderCamTV super thanks a lot
Who cares. Not everybody rides a BMW 😂😂😂
BMW kit version is around £625, unit, mount, camera mount, BMW canbus adaptor, wireless controller, screen saver with no TPSM, £9 postage, so around £780-800 with import tax/duty and vat. I'm a bit suss after reading their shipping notes on their website about import duty taxes and what they do to mitigate them, I.e. lie about the actual cost of the items sent on the custom forms... Don't get me wrong, it looks and seems to be a great bit of kit if you want an all-in-one bundle.
although seems a lot, the capabilities of the unit with the canbus adapter, TPSM, Cameras and Blind Spot Detection, as well as sat nav with the choice to use any app you want that is compatible i think makes it a great cost effective choice :) Import taxes might be a factor but hey ho..... :(
Just a word of warning to those looking to buy the Chigee AIO-5. While it has a touchscreen it doesn't respond to gloves. I tried it with 3 different pairs of gloves. None of them work with the unit.
REALLY disappointing.
You can operate the unit via the buttons across the top but given their spacing and size that too is difficult to do when riding.
Other than that, the unit seems to be OK. Took me about an hour to fit to my V-Strom 1050XT.
Thanks buddy. Haven’t had any problems with gloves so far
@@RiderCamTV and that's what other reviewers have said. Thing is, the gloves do work fine with my Garmin Zumo XT. One guy asked if my gloves had a touch pad on them. I'll have to look again.
I was wondering if the screen isn't sensitive enough compared to the Zumo. There aren't any settings that I can find, but then I haven't fully explored the AIO's capabilities. And I'll try an update.
Doesn’t work with my gloves either
i got one off Ali Express, Certainly not the same quality but does the same thing for £400 less
Minus the cameras and radar and tyre pressures 🤣
Try Sygic It takes GPX files
Thanks for the info
Does it works for Ebikes ?
It will work on any bike with power
What size is screen
All the details are on the video or on their website. Link in the description of the video buddy
You gave away your location with GPS coordinates. 😂
On the video from the dashcam yeah but was on a ride so no worries there ;)
I can see this would be good for some, but I’d prefer to keep navigation and phone independent. That way you have a backup device if one of them goes down.
very true, although you could also take a spare sat nav just in case. not had a problem as yet but i guess you never know
Please can I have one? This is a game changer me thinks…
The concept is nice but the price is insane
Depends if you want all the features this provides it not actually that pricy to be fair
@@RiderCamTV well the system doesnt really do anything on its own. Almost all features are activated by a smartphone. That makes this pretty much an OS-less tablet. It doesnt even have integrated maps, so if my phone dies, my navigation dies with it. So to pay €700 bucks for a basic front/back camera system that wont do anything else on its own without the brains and lungs from a phone is just crazy expensive. A Garmin Zumo XT2 costs 100 bucks less than that and will take you around the world including off-road maps without any smartphone connected to it. Plus it will connect with other XT2 users so that if anything happens you can always find each other. Now thats value. €700 bucks for an android auto/carplay is crazy...for the same money i buy a couple of good smartphones as backups that will have a ton more features and integrated maps into them...
Too dear , over $1000 in Australian dollars with the remote and TPMS.
Seems good though
seems a lot, although if you factor in all of the capabilities it has and that it eliminates seperate devices all into one, its comaprable to buying them all and even cheaper, but depends what you want on the bike i guess :)
Its nearly £500 think i will just use my phone on connected cradle
Sorry, you can get it for £303, so with front and rear camera and all the functionality together is not a bad deal, I guess…
@@marcio_de_oliveira Plus import duty/tax/vat and customs charge from Parcelforce on top. so around £400 for just the base unit and no mounts
You can get copycat ones for under £180
@@marcio_de_oliveira plus import duties/tax and vat so looking at £425, without any other accessories, such as mounts, canbus adaptor etc.
@@marcio_de_oliveira so does it actually incluse cameras
Beware Android Auto will not work with Huawei and Vivo phones. Just bought and installed but I now have to buy a new phone as the system is not compatible with a huawei p30 pro. The phone will connect but not android auto
Thanks for the tip
And why don’t they just sell unit without cameras
Probably as it part of their product and why not have them as well. You of course diner have to fit them
I generally know where I'm going, just a quick look at a map. Anything that occurs along the way is entertainment. Don't need to overcomplicate it. Just saying.
Very true indeed. Love that you now have more options other than TomTom and garmin though
£660 with mount,Tom etc, sun glare?
Can't remove ( I know it's wired but BMW sat navs getting cut).
No support/update.
Start up crowd fund.
I got cheat sat nav
Car play,use phone iPod,cheap one etc
Phone ,need to keep my mind on the road.
Sorry not for me
TPM not Tom
When you factor the price as to what you have all in one unit it’s cheaper than buying all the devices separately. They have good support and are releasing updates all the time and are shipping their units as many people have already got them and happy so not sure what the issue it to be hinest
Far too much money for that
depends which way you look at it, and of course the budget available. but for the capabilities all in one unit like sat nav from the app you prefer, BSD, Cameras, TPMS and the ability to use CarPlay or Android Auto certainly makes it a cheaper option if you were to buy all the devices individually :)
Thanks for the reply, its a great piece of kit don't get me wrong. I would struggle to justify that spend for my time in the saddle. It would be great for all year round riders and for gentlemen like yourselves who are on the bikes for tours and work. Keep up the good work lads.@@RiderCamTV
