CGRC LIN connects a compatible CHIGEE Display to your BMW's 3-pin navigation interface for motorcycle data and Wonder Wheel control. Support depends on your motorcycle model, year and configuration.
Note: CGRC LIN requires direct insertion into the 3-pin BMW Navigation Interface. Locate 3-Pin Navigation Interface
Using CGRC LIN will disable the BMW Nav Prep. This means: AIO-5 Play for BMW and AIO-6 with BMW Quick-Release Module are not compatible with CGRC LIN and should not be used together.
CGRC LIN works with AIO-5 Play, AIO-5 Lite, and AIO-6 series (without the BMW Quick-Release Module). Not compatible with XR-2, AIO-5 EVO, AIO-6 EVO.
We understand that BMW riders are especially concerned about compatibility. Please check the page below for full details before making a purchase. Please note: native data reading and Wonder Wheel control are highly dependent on both your BMW motorcycle itself.
Check Wonder Wheel control
To enable Wonder Wheel control through the CHIGEE Display, your BMW must have “Preparation for navigation system (SA 272)” activated. The “Native Wonder Wheel Control” listed in the compatibility table assumes SA 272 is active.
However, we’ve found that some BMW motorcycles are delivered without SA 272 activated from the factory. Please refer to this page to learn how to activate it.
Tip:
If you're not getting Wonder Wheel control after installation, first make sure you've selected “CGRC” (not “NAV”) in Settings > Features > RC on your CHIGEE Display.
Then check whether your bike needs SA 272 activation.
If Wonder Wheel control remains unavailable, we recommend using the CGRC Remote Pro — specially developed by CHIGEE.
Check motorcycle data
Native data access is made possible by transferring ECU data to the CHIGEE device.
However, for certain models — especially pre-2017 — the required BMW data may not be present on the LIN bus. In such cases, the CHIGEE Display cannot access this data.
If your BMW is listed as supporting “Native data access” but you're still unable to read data:
If the CHIGEE Display is connected to the CGRC LIN and can access Wonder Wheel control, the device is functioning normally.
In this case, the issue is likely with your BMW.In such cases, you should still see the blue CHIGEE dashboard interface appear.
If only partial data is shown, this means your BMW is transmitting limited information. The CHIGEE Display can only display what your BMW provides — it cannot control or expand the data stream.
Read tire pressure data
If your BMW has a factory-installed TPMS, CHIGEE can directly read the TPMS data — provided your BMW supports data transmission. If your bike does not support data transfer, the TPMS data will not be available to the CHIGEE Display.
If your BMW does not have a factory TPMS, we recommend purchasing the CHIGEE TPMS.
Please note: CHIGEE devices are not compatible with TPMS from other brands.

Note:
CGRC LIN does not support daisy-chain connections. You must disconnect your BMW navigation system and connect CGRC LIN to the dedicated 3-pin navigation interface. If you wish to retain your BMW Navigation, we recommend purchasing the CGRC CAN to connect with the DWA or RDC module.
To ensure compatibility with CHIGEE products, please refer to the table. The information has been gathered from market research and extensive testing. CHIGEE reserves the right to adjust compatibility details as necessary, and changes may not be communicated separately.
