I've just installed an AIO-5 Play on my Tiger to be able to use MyRouteApp easily. One problem I've found is the volume of the spoken instructions being too low when I am listening to music. If I turn up the volume so I can hear the spoken instructions, then the music is too loud when it restarts. This is not a failing of the AIO-5 and more likely to be an Apple issue, but just wondered if you'd found the same?

Really interesting gents. Thanks. I’ve just taken delivery of a 2021 GS. Priced up some ‘necessary’ farkles from the well known brands and it came in at £400+. Similar products from abroad cost me £40. At that price even if some of them don’t fit I haven’t lost anything. £180 for a mudsling and fender extender is outrageous. I know there are overheads etc, and I like to support UK businesses where I can, but there are limits. Cheers for the informative video. 👍🏻

I bought the Chigee BMW with my own money. I wonder if the 'super hype' was partly due to them being given one for free? Although the device its self connects beautifully and is well made, I was disappointed that the My-Route App doesn't give all the information on the CarPlay screen that's displayed on the phone. It's not the fault of the unit mind you, but this does detract from usability of the unit(for me). I thought this was the answer to my failing Nav 6 but alas it isn't.
@andybcole6 күн бұрын
That's nothing to do with the ChiGee, that's the software in the phone. Different apps have different levels of integration and they are expanding all the time. I certainly don't review positively if I don't like the device or it doesn't work for me. CarPlay in general is supposed to be a 'viewscreen' on the app and not a complete replacement for phone functionality as that would be dangerous when moving (hence why CarPlay doesn't; allow video streaming. For me the Chigee is by far the best motorcycle CarPlay device I've found and I've looked at the Ottocast, Carpuriide and Chigee.

@@andybcole if you read what i wrote I said it wasn’t the fault of Chigee rather it was the CarPlay limitations.

There is only one reliable way to get pretty much any CarPlay device working with the BMW. Delete all TFT connections to your phone and get the bike to forget them. Then pair the helmet intercom to the phone and the phone to the CarPlay device. You will then have a reliable connection and all the sound ends up in the right place and Siri works. Doing it differently is a bit 'hit and miss' and you may well end up with the sound being sent to the TFT so you won't then hear it and Siri won't work.
