BMW için CGRC CAN: Harika Tekerlek Kontrolü

I am a total novice when it comes to ripping apart a bike to install anything and usually let my local shop do the work. In this case I decided to try it myself. Took some time and a bunch of you tube videos to dismantle a few things, but in the end everything worked out. I have a 19 1250GS, and I ported over my old Nav 5. The Garmin did the job, but it was slow, and felt outdated. I purchased the Chigee for the Apple car play and wanted to use google maps, and Apple maps. Did not really care about the camera features, but after install, I am really happy that I now have front and rear camera recording. The car play features work seamlessly. I also installed the control mod for the wonder wheel, and it works well to control the entire setup. Its been over a year since I installed, and I wanted to wait to write my review in case the setup fell apart. Happy to report, it just works. Much much better than the old Nav setup. All the wires are hidden, and looks like a part of the bike. Wish I had also purchased the PSI mods for the tyres, but I will grab those another time. Great product. Take your time doing the install, and you wont regret your purchase.

I've just installed it today on my bmw K1600 GTL 2016 and works perfectly fine. Great job guys. This is a gamer changer to mu future road trips...love it

The CGRC CAN for the BMW 1600GT (build 2020) is not yet fully developed for older types of the 1600GT. I recommend Chigee (AIO-5 for BMW) to work together with BMW (software development) on the improvement of use of the “wonderwheel”. For instance: In order to scroll-down in the menu of the Chigee the wonderwheel must scroll-up. Further more: When the wonderwheel is used to scroll down or up, the onboard radio volume is also influenced by the wheel producing less or more sound on the onboard speakers or speakers in the helmet. In order to covert these inconveniences I recommend to improve the Chigee -software in cooperation with BMW. It is also a matter of safety to limit distraction using the wonderwheel with Chigee while riding. It should function more logical and less distractive. I really think the Chigee is on its way to “make life a ride” and not to end it through distraction.

Relatively quick and simple installing, functionality almost as I expected.
Pro's:
- Easy to connect cables
- Easy to pair
- It works very seamlessly, no "thinking" time
- CGRC CAN Device is small, it's easy to hide it underneath the seat.
Con's:
- This is not a simply plug-and-play device. Unfortunately, you have to disassemble the rear of the motorbike to access the connector on the DWA module (Exception: your a very talented gynecologist). If you've never done this disassemble before (like me), calculate about 1 hour working time.
- For this work the serial screwdriver under the seat isn't enough. You'll need also an additional, a smaller torx screwdriver
- Navigating in Menu of Chigee and of the bike happens simultaniuosly. There is no either-or separation for the Wonderwheel. You step forward ones in the Menu of Chigee, it also happens in the Menu of the bike. Exception: Your bike display is set for speed/"RT" logo
- Be careful: After connecting Chigee AIO-5 appears the NAVI sub-menu in your bike menu. Don't choose any point of this submenu (=don't put your WW to the right!), because your menu set-up will reset and the bike dashboard starts to reboot immediately.

Perfect solution

I paid the extra for the cgrc to control the chigee with the factory wonder wheel. Don't spend the extra on that. It is so difficult and distracting to navigate and just do the simplest things like control music. There is no playing music through the speakers, no volume control as stated and no simple music controls as stated. When trying to navigate the bike computer it is changing things on the chigee at the same time. Disappointed in bmw for a poor connectivity setup compared to my Harley, and disappointed in myself for spending $600 to try to put a band aid that doesn't work on a bad setup to start with
