A compatible BMW cradle can hold and power an AIO-5 Play for BMW, or an AIO-6 Max or AIO-6 LTE fitted with BMW Quick-Release Module. Check the exact cradle and motorcycle configuration before fitting or moving your display.
Identify your cradle
The table below compares BMW cradle types for supported CHIGEE Display installations. Check both the front bezel and locking mechanism; similar mounting dimensions do not confirm compatibility.
Cradle | How to identify it | CHIGEE mounting result |
BMW Nav Prep 5 or 6 | Navigator V or VI mount with a mechanical key lock and no front-bezel buttons | Supported with the display configurations below |
BMW ConnectedRide keyless mount | Motor-operated lock and no front-bezel buttons; fitted to many 2024–2026 models | Check the exact part and keyless mount firmware requirements |
Older four-button Navigator cradle | Front-bezel buttons marked with plus, minus or page/menu functions | Not supported |
Use this cradle-identification image as a visual reference. Confirm the exact part if its buttons or lock differ from these descriptions.
Check an exact Garmin mount
The name AMPS does not establish that a Garmin mount works with a CHIGEE Display. The exact cradle, connector and motorcycle connection determine compatibility.
Find the full Garmin part number and a clear photo of the cradle and connector.
Ask Garmin which displays and electrical connections that part supports.
Compare the part with the CHIGEE Display’s required BMW cradle and motorcycle connection.
Garmin lists AMPS Rugged Mount part 010-12881-08. That name alone does not confirm CHIGEE fitment, BMW data or Wonder Wheel support. If compatibility is unclear, contact Garmin before buying. You can also contact us with your display, BMW model and year, and mount details.
Check fitment and power
The table below lists the CHIGEE Display configurations used with supported BMW cradles. Other display models need their own supported mounting arrangement.
CHIGEE Display | Required backplate or module |
AIO-5 Play for BMW | Built-in BMW cradle connection |
AIO-6 Max or AIO-6 LTE | BMW Quick-Release Module |
These BMW-cradle setups have no built-in battery. They need a compatible powered cradle or another power source supported for the exact model. Mounting, power, vehicle data and Wonder Wheel control are separate checks.
Use the BMW setup guide to check the complete configuration. Integrated K1600 cockpits have additional space limits; review the K1600 mounting options. If the display will not start, follow the BMW cradle startup checks before choosing a replacement part.
A motorcycle without an original cradle
The BMW Electromagnetic Quick-Release Cradle is an option where a compatible BMW connector and enough mounting space are available. Use its supplied Ø12–16 mm crossbar clamp. It is not a generic two-wire 12 V mount and cannot add data or control signals that the motorcycle lacks.
Follow the electromagnetic cradle installation guide. The K1600GT with a 10.25-inch TFT lacks the required installation space. A BMW-cradle backplate cannot attach directly to a universal mount; check the AIO-5 Play for BMW reuse options before choosing another bracket.
Secure the display
Use the original key to secure a CHIGEE Display in a compatible mechanical BMW Nav Prep cradle:
Park the motorcycle before fitting the display.
Seat the CHIGEE Display fully in the compatible cradle.
Lock the BMW Nav Prep cradle with its original key.
Gently check the display. It should remain secure in the locked cradle.
Electric and keyless cradles use different release mechanisms. For the CHIGEE BMW Electromagnetic Quick-Release Cradle, follow its installation and locking guide. For an original BMW keyless mount, follow the instructions for that exact BMW part.
Move the display between motorcycles
You can move an AIO-5 Play for BMW, or an AIO-6 Max or AIO-6 LTE with BMW Quick-Release Module, between compatible BMW motorcycles. Each motorcycle needs a supported cradle and configuration.
Park both motorcycles.
Release the CHIGEE Display using the instructions for its exact cradle.
Fit and secure the display in the destination motorcycle’s compatible cradle.
Check that the display powers on and that the expected control and data functions work.
For a compatible installation, no separate transfer setup is required. A cradle that fits does not establish that every BMW reading or control function is supported on the destination motorcycle.
