Understanding the Issue
If you notice that OBD data freezes or stops updating on your CHIGEE Display, it may be due to limitations in your motorcycle’s OBD protocol, not a fault with the device itself.
Designed for Short-Term Diagnostics
Some motorcycle brands and models use OBD interfaces that are intended only for short-term diagnostic use, not for continuous real-time data transmission.
For example, BMW motorcycles can initially transmit data via the OBD port, but the connection is not stable over extended periods. This is by design and not a technical malfunction.
Observable Symptoms
OBD data (such as RPM, speed, or temperature) freezes or lags after a while of riding
The display may stop updating dynamic information
Phone mirroring continues to work
This typically happens because the OBD protocol does not support continuous data streaming. Most real-time data points are time-limited or restricted by the ECU.
Known Affected Models
All BMW motorcycle models
Other motorcycle brands and models may also be affected due to similar ECU design constraints
What You Can Do
Unfortunately, CHIGEE cannot override manufacturer-imposed limitations on OBD data output.
We recommend contacting your motorcycle’s manufacturer to confirm whether continuous OBD data transmission is supported for your specific model.
