If you are looking at spending nearly £400 on a smart navigation CarPlay/Android Auto Unit, then you want to know if it's worth it. I have a good look at the Chigee, sent to me to review by Chigee.
Designed to simply fit into the BMW's cradle mount. Fit and play....no wires ...no fuss.
Release date is going to be July/August, pre-orders now being taken.
Go to the main website for Chigee and will see you receive a 10% discount on your order ,when you enter discount code GSD321BMW (ONLY VLAID FOR THE BMW PLAY VERSION) , the other discount code for other items is GSD321
Basic difference between the PLAY BMW and standard PLAY/LITE version, is that the PLAY BMW has access to the bikes data via the mounting cradle pins resulting in gear /revs/throttle position etc being able to be displayed on the display unit.

Another excellent really in depth review, I bought the AOI-5 Lite after watching your review, (used your code), thank you. I think the Play version for the GS gives another option using the existing cradle and whizzy wheel. I really like the Lite version as I love the camera system and the blind spot monitoring and of course CarPlay. A good suggestion that Chigee allow the Home Screen customisation, I wish CarPlay was a bit more customisable, I would like to display the ambient temperature taken from the weather app, I have it on my watch and find it really useful. Thanks again.

@gsd32i 19 күн бұрын

Hi David, thanks. I do like the new data screen. Hopefully Chigee will have an adapter to allow the same screen pulling data from the BMW just like the cradle unit does, for the lite version. They really are pretty good at what they do...meanwhile the rest of the world will fall behind. Now if they did a inbuilt gps unit that would be even better!

Thanks for the Carpuride and Chigee reviews, subscribed! Between these two (putting the wonderwheel control outside) which one would you prefer for a new BMW for build qualiy, ease of use, display, GPS etc.?

@gsd32i 19 күн бұрын

I really do like the wonder wheel connectivity and the data screen of the play version. everyone has a budget and some might not be able to stretch to the chigee, with screen protector etc etc, so its great that the carpuride has the mid-budget end covered. no doubt that the build quality is A+ compared to the other brands.

@mickemmett6828 8 күн бұрын

There's only 3 wires go to the cradle from the BMW so there must be a number of the many contacts in the cradle that are not used, it would have been great if Chigee could have retained the dash cam facility via the unused contacts. The cameras were the deciding factor in me choosing a Chigee, I don't think I would have purchased this new BMW dedicated unit even if it had have been available at the time of me purchasing AIO-5 Lite because of it's lack of cameras. Try using the small selector buttons on the left of the Carplay screen with winter gloves on instead of those thin summer gloves you demonstrated it with, it's not easy. I do really like the ability to remove it now though.

@gsd32i 8 күн бұрын

Hi . Either unit is very good . I did like the extra data displayed by the play unit . I do like the cameras and now have the lite back on . As far as the gloves go , yes small icons trade off for the 5” screen bit with the whizz wheel , top buttons , voice command etc then it’s not too much of an issue . No doubt they will bring out a 6 inch version of they see a market for it. Appreciate time taken to comment . Really like my Chigee and I get a lot of stuff to test and this is still on my bike , say no more really . Rode safe 👍

@philpicton716 14 күн бұрын

Very cool system and definitely worth a look. The only thing that I’d like to better understand is obviously the Device is dependent on your phone and I assume the usage of mobile data services to work correctly. This is probably fine for those that are just road riding in areas that have suitable coverage and purchased mobile data plans. I’m looking for something that I can use on both my BMW and my Husqvarna which I take to places that don’t necessarily have mobile signal. Question for anyone that might know, will Apple Car Play or Connected Auto utilise the GPS built into the Chigee or are the apps totally dependent on the phones mobile for geolocation? I can’t imagine anything worse than suddenly losing mapping when you’re in the middle of nowhere. Yes I guess I could switch to offline maps but it’s additional faff I’d rather avoid.

@astrobusa 18 күн бұрын

As you don't have a TFT, you don't need to switch between units. Whizz-wheel control will default to whatever device is in the cradle as there is no second option (TFT) to choose from. I'm using the Wunderlinq unit on my 2017 1200GS with analog dials (the Wunderlinq is basically the same as this Chigee and has the same connectivity, functions etc) and its controlled by the whizz-wheel with no setup required.

@Xeraux 9 күн бұрын

I have one of these pre-ordered. I’m curious, though. If you’re listening to music or Audible or receiving a call or whatever, do you have your helmet paired with the bike or the Chigee? I currently have a Carpuride 705 and you can still control media via the WonderWheel if your helmet is paired only to the GS, but that’s even a bit hit or miss depending on the order you turn things on. Just looking for something a little more consistent.

@gsd32i 9 күн бұрын

Hi, I would ditch the wonder wheel pairing and just go with the paring the phone to the headset and the phone to the carpuride, just to keep things simple. Try the wonder wheel if you want but is suspect you will have issues as you are now connecting the phone to the tft etc.

Hi Gary, To be honest I do not know. If they say it will then they are pretty good at customer support. The Lite now has full functionality of the whizz wheel not only left and right but now up and down. I have to say that I really liked the Plays data screen which gave you more than the similar page on the lite. Hopefully with the add on data module the lite version gets the excellent play versions data screen. I was tempted to leave the cradle on I liked it that much, but in the end I wanted a dash camera fitted so went back to the lite version...but only just! 👍

@@gsd32i Thank you for your answer! Hope you don’t mind a follow up question. I want to be dead sure this is all well sorted before pulling the trigger on a 450€ device. With the described setup, what happens when you receive a call? I’m imagining the case that the incoming call shows on the Chigee and on the TFT. If you pick it up now from the TFT I presume you wouldn’t be able to hear anything because your headset is connected to the Chigee. Or am I overthinking this and because phone and Chigee have a connection the call will be routed through the Chigee and thus to the headset in any case? Basically I’m worried that I will gain some advantages like CarPlay and wonderwheel control of it but that I will have to sacrifice either stable phone interaction, music streaming or connected app ride data at some point. Would be brilliant if one could have all of the above flawlessly working alongside each other. But I’m not quite ready to believe it yet 😂 too many issues with the stupid, intervening TFT so far. Many thanks for your thoughts in advance!

@gsd32i did you try to stream music to your headset while having it connected to the TFT? I fear the TFT will “swallow” the music 😬 thank you

Hi can chigee play for bmw sync with gs 1200 2015 wonder wheel? 😊

@gsd32i 15 күн бұрын

Do you have the nav prep ? If it was an option then you should be fine . You could always e mail Chigee with make model year to see if the chigee play is suitable for your bike .

Small power bank or when it gets low plug a usb cable in. Simple.

I have a 15 Pro Max and with wireless CarPlay on my current setup (I have an Africa Twin with QuadLock's wireless CarPlay dongle) - I can get around a full day of riding out of it before it's flat if I don't charge it at all. That's about 9am (100% battery) to 6pm (0% battery). I've got a U-green Magsafe adaptor which I throw on at lunch/during stops to top it up, which will give me a bit more juice.

Am i missing something here - I buy a unit which needs my phone for information, uses my phone data for giving directions, supplying music etc etc all whilst my phone battery is draining…….whereas I can get the BMW phone mount and place my phone directly in the same location on the bike, I have full wiz wheel access, can use nav maps offline (no data usage) and everything else my phone has -or am I missing something?

So….no cell service….no nav. That’s a bummer.

Could be . But for the majority of tines would be fine . Just look how many riders rely on their phone popped onto the handlebars . Fortunately we have a choice depending on the nature of the trip . Ride safe 👍

No, you can download the maps in Google for offline use and the routing works offline since the GPS on your phone will continue to work when you don’t have data service.

No, just to your phone as per usual.

No need to pair to the Chigee, like all these units the phone is just paired to the headset.

I'd also like someone to make a device that acts like an Android phone, so it can run the apps directly, and not the amputated Android Auto version. It has to be a "phone" not a tablet, because then TomTom can prevent the app from running and use the excuse that it's not designed for tablets. TomTom and others could also opt to give Google the middle finger and NOT remove features from their apps, when they are running throug Android Auto. Whenever I need to do something in the apps, that's not allowed in Android Auto, I have to pick up my phone and work on that while squinting on the road now and then, instead of using the fixed Android Auto device
