Using CarPlay or Android Auto on a CHIGEE Display may affect some BMW Motorrad Connected functions. Simultaneous operation depends on your phone, software, BMW TFT instrument display and pairing setup.
Check the function you want to keep
The table below separates BMW Connected functions that may behave differently when your phone connects to a CHIGEE Display.
Function | Connection to check |
Navigation on the BMW TFT | The phone-to-TFT connection used to show navigation. |
Background ride recording | Recording in the phone app, separately from navigation on the TFT. |
Vehicle data | Data in the BMW app or TFT, separately from the CHIGEE Display’s supported vehicle interface. |
Headset audio | The pairing arrangement for music, navigation prompts and microphone input. |
A problem with one function does not establish that every BMW Connected function is unavailable. We cannot confirm every combination of phone, operating system, app and headset firmware.
If a function stops working
If a BMW Connected function stops when your phone connects to the CHIGEE Display, park before checking the connections.
Record which feature stops and which connections remain active.
If you test with the TFT temporarily disconnected, note which BMW features also stop.
Contact us with the results before permanently removing a pairing that you still need.
For headset setup, see Use CarPlay with a BMW TFT and ConnectedRide.
