Chigee AIO-5 Lite: Upgrade Any Motorcycle With CarPlay, Dashcams & More!

[@photographer-gf]

Thank you for the sales presentation. Inspired me to start to look for a real and trustworthy review where I can also see the video quality from booth cameras.

[@sniperjared]

yeah these guys have been paying a ton of people to 'review' this thing, gotta wait at least a year to see some real reviews

[@antoniogriffin7135]

Did you find anything???.. I'm just reading comments of every video haha

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Looks like a great little gadget! Love carplay on a bike - alas the carplay on my GoldWing is super unreliable.....so this looks interesting...

[@julianoparena8363]

Been using it for 3 months and so far loving the features and performance. Have also updated the firmware twice already.

[@ChoirulAnamArdenbal]

Price?

[@Wheelo40]

Thanks for the report! I’d love to have all that functionality. As it is, I navigate with a Garmin, so with this unit, my Garmin, and my actual dash, my bike would start to look like a multi screen day trading rig!

[@horatio8764]

Someone needs to put a programmable garage door opener app on one of these bloody things

[@gerrycout7845]

I have 90% of that functionality with my iPhone on my Ram Mount on the bars of my CBR1000RR. I even have TPMS monitoring directly on my phone screen thanks to the folks at FOBO. Tire pressure as well as tire temperature directly to my phone. Isn’t that amazing? No need for additional units mounting. The only thing I see missing is the cameras but those would not look so good anyway on the CBR. You guys really have to try the FOBO sensors for TPMS. I have had mine for 5 years and they didn’t miss a beat. Only battery changes that take 2 minutes. Enjoy…. And you’re welcome.

[@ChefGreen]

Agreed on the FOBO. Any bike that doesn’t have built-in TPMS gets a pair!

[@HU-vq2ui]

the only problem with the phone mounts is that it tends to fuck up the smartphone lens with the vibration on the road and bike.

[@gerrycout7845]

@@HU-vq2ui I have heard of this occurring with some people. If vibrations are excessive perhaps it can become an issue. On my CBR and CRF, I have had no issues with my phones since starting to use Ram Mounts in 2015.

Not a tekky person myself but definitely a good idea as a complementary info & safety device. Especially as far as the tpms in the winter goes. Still like the 'old' Tiger 800 in that green. Wishing all a Merry Christmas & a great 2024 🙏🎄☀️

[@mengaw-yong2490]

People get so wrapped up in so called must have gadgets. For the last few years I've had a bike which is so basic it doesn't even have a fuel gauge and yet it constantly delivers bags of fun, ride after ride and in all weathers. I give you the Husqvarna 701 Enduro 👍👍

Love the fact that you got so many features all in one. Rear view mirror is cool, Navigation via Google Maps and camera recording feature is my main thing. This may be the solution when its time to replace my cam system on my bike.

[@RufusCapstick]

Crazy price, way cheaper to buy an Android phone and leave it on the bike. Wouldn't get cameras but there are stand alone systems, buy one and a phone, it's still cheaper. However, I like it!

[@PissTakeProduction]

Agree it's great 👍.

[@kennydiesagain]

Agree. I have the same

[@kinangeagle133]

Your local stereo thief is getting an upgrade too

[@RichDunn]

The issue I have with these type of devices is that the key feature most people want is navigation. and when it comes to receiving a satellite signal where there is no phone service, or being able to import a GPX route file, without having to buy further non-proprietary apps, a dedicated GPS cannot be beaten. I'd buy a Garmin Zumo XT and save some money. If you have a Cardo you can just ask Siri to play your Music, or if you're just going to a specific stop, ask it to open Waze and navigate to a specific address (if your phone is e.g. quad-lock mounted) and benefit from the hazard warnings (police, jams, etc).

[@D1XGXP]

It comes with a gps…..

[@RichDunn]

@@D1XGXP I said GP'X".

[@jayd3931]

@@RichDunn I don't know anyone that still uses a dedicated GPS. With a phone, you get apps like Gaia which you can download offline maps and routes, and share GPX files with friends instantly. Plus Google maps and Waze give much better up to date traffic and road conditions. I have traveled most of 10,000km's without a phone signal on a trip, without issue.

[@RichDunn]

@@jayd3931 You can't import a GPX to Waze (which I also run), the screen is bigger and clearer than your phone, and useful information like nearest gas station, altitude, time and distance to destination are but a winters glove press away. I have an iPhone 16 Max Pro, it's great, but no replacement for my Garmin Sumo XT. I also like simple GPS devices like Beeline too. Be happy with your choices, I am!

[@tomblewomble3369]

Can you pair the pillion comns set to it so you can Dj for both of you?

[@Maige2900]

Just a note, only street glide, road glide, African twin and a couple of Indian motorcycles have app connectivity aka Apple CarPlay android auto. Then I bought an 800nk and paired with the app which provides very useful data, auto wake features etc has shown how much the big brands take everyone for a joke by not offering this arbitrary technology. So adding chigee would definitely be a good option. Also what’s a similar product? Modern motorcycle tech at a value price point!! thank you 🇨🇳

[@thouseinthehouse]

Just saw another motocreator pushing this hard. The new wave of olights for motorcycles has arrived.

[@PrashanthDengody]

Hello, Thanks for the review. I am contemplating the purchase. However I want to know how does wireless airplay impact the phone battery life? Does the constant Bluetooth connection drain the battery? Noticed any phone heating up or phone battery drain issues, etc?

[@kiwiryker]

I ride a Canam trike with a disability in my hands , the riding community for disabled is huge and sadly the manufacturers of most of these don’t really care . The screen showing speed excited me as I can’t see my screen on the Ryker . $1000 for this in my country ,,, erm another device priced too high

[@the_winged_helm]

Could you also check out the Spedal NaviCam CL876? Has similar features, and seems to be more cost effective.

[@joedudz]

Great idea generally. Means that OEMs and YT reviewers can concentrate on bikes instead of TFT screens.

[@austinman1234567]

The video is an informercial for a product that isn't even shipping. Having experienced how unreliable Android Auto and Apple CarPlay can be I advise holding off buying, until someone tests the released product. If it is reliable, then it looks like a great product.

[@johnstraw5390]

I might get one for my bike here in the Philippines. Far too often cars or trucks come right up on me within inches and catch me off guard.

[@deepakdongre7712]

Was taken aback by the pricing here in Canada @ 809$, but then the features definitely makes up for it. It's like getting a completely new bike 😬 Maybe next summer will get one for my Bandit 1250S.

[@primal5435]

Would have loved to see how well the parkering monitering works. If it acually turns on if the bike is pushed :D

[@fabianobenedetti6692]

The accessories make it stand out from other (much) cheaper alternatives, but it should have come with a cradle to remove it and place it on other bikes or cars...

[@InTheDirtAgain]

Was considering it for my snow bike as a means to record some footage via front/rear camera, display speed via the GPS sensor, and also the Android Auto so that I can use my OnX app for mapping. That is, until I saw the $600 price tag.

[@dennisgibb7958]

Don’t do any of this until you calculate the power draw and be absolutely sure that what you are doing is legal. His/led lights are illegal UNLESS it is a DOT approved housing (headlights must be full approved led/hid housings) running radar detectors is illegal in certain states, etc etc. The more crap you put on a bike the heavier and less “flexible” it becomes.

[@sdavey10]

[@VS666]

I’m interested in the wireless CarPlay functions I feel like every aftermarket stereo struggles with this a lot. The built-in dash cams and TMS support would be the only reason why I would get this over just using my phone on a mount in landscape mode.

[@mengaw-yong2490]

No problems at all and CHIGEE updated software FOC BSD detection switches on rear camera

[@sambagogo777]

- no quick release mechanism meaning you have to leave it attached so it could easily be stolen when leaving your bike parked - the camera lenses will quickly get dirty and will be a pain to clean due to them seemingly not having an easy to wipe protective lens cover - not sure how accurate that low-cost method of tyre pressure monitoring is going to be

[@HU-vq2ui]

it requires special tools to detach the monitor. the camera lenses on the bike is the same with the ones on the car, there's not gonna be such issue. although i do have to agree with you on the accuracy of the tyre pressure thing

[@GarySimmons]

Great review and interesting product. Might be time to replace my Tomtom Rider 550 with this... Do you know if the Tomtom GO Ride motorcycle app will work with Android Auto?

[@ViciousXUSMC]

The BSM is kind of the selling point for me but the breif demo I saw here it didnt look too accurate, so the Innovv ThirdEye might be the better option for BSM have you tested and can give an opinon on both?

[@P6_7R_Nick]

It looks like a cracking bit of kit Bob, but too pricey for me. Maybe if you could persuade them to give your viewers a 25% discount, I reckon they would sell and shed full. Sub £400 is where it's at for me.

[@bikemaddan9311]

Hi, so undecided which one to get…….if it was your money where would you spend it?

[@lacmac7600]

I don't know why it's so expensive in UK, selling for £282 here in Malaysia. Also there is a crowd funding page indigogo where you can get it for about £300

[@TheDavidGoldmanphoto]

Very cool, I'm wondering about some kind of lock based on the cost of that unit? I also suppose (like many things) you can only connect to one Bluetooth device at a time so if you used to be paired to let's say your phone, now you lose that pairing and connect to this thing. Am I getting that right? or is it just a mirror of your phone. You stay paired to the phone and then the phone wirelessly connects to this unit and then you are listening (via Sena or Cardo) to the unit?

[@primal5435]

Carplay is connected through WI-FI as far as I know. So you can still use your bluetooth headset.

[@damiengvideos4337]

Looks pretty nice! Especially since Ducati wants $500 alone for TPMS sensors for my Diavel V4!

[@jasonepley9650]

Excellent!! Definitely picking one up. Tpms would be incredible!!

I absolutely love tech like this. But £500 from an unknown supplier, it’s going to need regular firmware updates and I’m not entirely convinced the manufacturer will be around in 6 months. You can get a really good solar powered TPMS for under £30 and your phone on a mount with wireless charging works surprisingly well. Personally I use the VSYSTO from & rear camera setup (under £100 and much more reliable than the INNOVV I had). So all the features you’ve mentioned here for ~£180.

[@SHSPVR]

Except none of them have features like this plus cool accessories, there was once upon a time that even those companies you talk about were also unknown you simply just have to have faith in the product and as for VSYSTO there website and support is a complete joke, P.S. Chigee there 3 year old now, The biggest problem with all the motorcycle dash cams out there only few even support 1080p or 1440p 60fps and nobody support 2160p 60fps nor have HEVC H265 support at this time for motorcycle, but at lease the AIO5-Lite at lease has image stabilization however I would prefer them to use a higher end Sony Image CMOS with 60fps support. However if you're looking for an alternative search for LBW Professional Motorcycle Dash Cam and there few other brands.

[@TheDervMan]

@@SHSPVR you can’t compare a camera system to the unit being reviewed here. They’re entirely different system with very different requirements. My requirement for a dash cam is reliability & the ability to read a number plate on playback, the encoding method for audio/video is irrelevant (for me).

[@SHSPVR]

@@TheDervMan I can as it still acts like a dashed cam with a lots of bonus features if you want a reliability & the ability to read a number plate on playback you need higher frame rate and higher resolution also encoding method plays a big key role it makes smaller file size, the ideal solution is AV1 encoding method since the AIO5-Lite It's basically nothing more than android & arm system based around a basic phone

I'm just wondering what info it's collecting and how to view it properly. Has anyone played with it?

[@johnmonsalve11]

Sounds like an awesome product. Something Sena or Cardo should have thought of. BUT, to me my thought is whether its a real producer. There have been wonder products before and turns out to be a scam. Thoughts? Cus theres nothing else like it out there. Especially if they follow through on an interface with the bike. Then its a way to get a tft dash for a bike that doesnt have one. Easily worth 6-700$.
