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

[@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.

[@koehlerjj]

+1 for the FOBO. Great stuff! I have them on my bike as well.

[@Raylep1]

What app you ising that does this on the phone? Id like to get it.

[@boganvogue6694]

Love how it displays your speed when you're standing still

[@julianoparena8363]

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

[@ChoirulAnamArdenbal]

Price?

[@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...

[@mengaw-yong2490]

Just got my chigee and fitted it. Rightpain with Ducati multi1260 getting behind fairing. It’s good quality and instructions r way better than usual Chinese ones. Its works out of the box looking good can’t wait to ride & test

[@gladstone6005]

4 months later, still in use? Any good?

[@mengaw-yong2490]

Go for it if u need it- using Waze is so good with alerts seriously wished I never spent £300 on Ducati TPMS which can’t be transferred to different bikes. Downloaded videos no problems

[@horatio8764]

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

[@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!

[@iamthemobey]

I’d ditch the garmin and use this with google maps personally.

[@benkelly2190]

I have the ottocast from China. £190. Full apple car play on my GS.. best system I have ever used!

[@PissTakeProduction]

Agree it's great 👍.

[@kennydiesagain]

Agree. I have the same

[@fairplayer916]

Seems like a quality upgrade. Security and safety upgrades alone seem worth it.

[@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).

[@BoostedGXP]

It comes with a gps…..

[@RichDunn]

@@BoostedGXP 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!

[@chrisbike77]

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 🙏🎄☀️

[@MrBenHaynes]

Holy Shite man. Bikes are for ridin'. The joy of older bikes is no screen time! Don't mess with the formula.

[@philwilliams7019]

More distractions taking your attention off riding maybe?

[@kinangeagle133]

Your local stereo thief is getting an upgrade too

[@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.

[@bigjoe4020]

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.

[@Ripley6867]

Brakes throttle and speedometer all I need to enjoy riding

[@AndreiLucaa]

Preach brother

[@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!

[@tomblewomble3369]

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

[@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.

[@tompual]

OMG，I think I'll just take a look😅🤐

[@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 🇨🇳

[@mengaw-yong2490]

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

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@jasonepley9650]

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

[@themok3rify]

There is an Indigogo campaign now, get a nice discount. I ordered one with the tpms sensors. I hope there is enough interest in the product, so the campaign gets enough funding.

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

[@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?

[@the_winged_helm]

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

[@Brimstonewolf]

Does the touchscreen go mad when it gets rained on? My phone's does and that'd be kind of a dealbreaker for obvious reasons!

[@philwilliams7019]

You can lock the screen to avoid this Swipe up to unlock

[@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.

[@shpilmann]

How exactly can we connect a phone, cardo, wireless remote and tire pressure sensors with this device? Does everything work via bluetooth and how is the connection made? Is it automatic or always connected to at least the last two listed? Thank you very much!

[@223Sako]

It uses bluetooth.

[@Dragorus360]

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?

[@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.

[@zombiebiker5581]

What about locking? What and sun glare if sun at the side of behind? Most sat navs have a sun visor.

[@damiengvideos4337]

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

[@TheDervMan]

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

[@HU-vq2ui]

they've been selling in areas such as China, Japan, and Taiwan as far as I know.

[@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

[@sdavey10]

This looks awesome, but for one thing, it seems to be a permanent installation, i.e. it doesn't clip on/off??

[@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?

- 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

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

Don’t do any of this until you calculate the power draw and be absolutely sure that what you are doing is legal.
