Anyone have experience with Chigee or other carplay screens for nav?

Chigee announced an AIO-5 version specifically designed to fit in the BMW nav prep and work with the control wheel.

I'm currently using a Connected Ride Cradle with an older iPhone. On the last couple of rides that solution has been less than stellar for a few reasons.

If I go with the Chigee, that also means I probably want some dedicated motorcycle nav app. So any recommendations there are appreciated.

Hmm, not sure if it has any significant advantage over what you have already.
This guy sums it up pretty well, although he deals with the general version (i.e. non-BMW Wonder wheel specific).

I suppose it offers the advantages of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto plus front and rear dash cams. No need to have an expensive phone exposed to the elements.
I had the Scenic motorcycle nav app with a WunderLINQ for a while which I thought was really good until the WunderLINQ croaked.
Not sure if I like the nav prep/ConnectedRide cradle combo above the TFT on a re-location bracket. Looks even more cumbersome than in the stock position.
I also have a ConnectedRide cradle and nav prep in the standard place on the fork yoke, with an iPhone13 mounted above the TFT by means of a QuadLock wireless charging mount which works fine for me.
For me having the phone above the TFT and in line of sight of the road ahead for purposes of navigation is a huge plus. I find the BMW ConnectedRide app is now pretty reliable.

Anyone use these screens with Waze or Google Maps? In concept, the screens seem like a solution many folks use in their cars.

I've been looking more at the Chigee, and I see nothing but good reports. I reckon the BMW version is a winner and at a far better price than the ConnectedRide navigator.

Do you mean if you wanted to use the Chigee AIO-5 for BMW on another brand of motorcycle?
If that's what you want to do I think you could use the BMW nav prep adapter for the Zumo XT2.
I see Chigee also has a handlebar mounted remote controller so that you get similar functionality to the wonder wheel on a BMW on other bikes.
They seem to have thought of everything.

Good call on the Zumo adapter.

Hi
I installed the chigee AIO 5 for BMW.
It works like it should. Same like in the car.
The AIO 5 is only a display without battery.
It works only connected to the bike.

Works well together with the multiwheel controller and the indicatorswitch.
Connection helmet to phone and phone to chigee.
