CGRC CAN vs. CGRC LIN for BMW motorcycles

Compare CGRC CAN and CGRC LIN connection types, Wonder Wheel control, BMW data reading and installation limits.

The CGRC CAN and CGRC LIN modules are developed by CHIGEE to integrate BMW motorcycles with the CHIGEE Display. By connecting these modules to the BMW interface, riders can enable WonderWheel control or data reading.

Installation

Supports three connection types (please select the correct pin type on the product page):

  • 8-Pin to DWA Module

  • 4-Pin to RDC Module

  • 6-Pin to DWA Module

  • Connects directly to the BMW Nav’s 3-pin port.

  • Requires removing the BMW Nav cradle.

  • Cannot be used simultaneously with:

    • AIO-5 Play for BMW

    • AIO-6 with BMW Quick-Release Module


Key Differences

CGRC CAN

  • Enables WonderWheel control

  • Supports daisy-chaining with other devices (e.g., Hex ezCAN)

CGRC LIN

  • Enables WonderWheel control

  • Directly reads BMW’s native vehicle data

  • Cannot be daisy-chained

Important: The AIO-5 EVO and XR-2 do not support CGRC LIN or CGRC CAN. CGRC LIN is supported on the AIO-5 Play, AIO-5 Lite, and AIO-6 series with a standard mounting setup, but cannot be used alongside an AIO-5 Play for BMW or an AIO-6 with BMW Quick-Release Module.

Important Notes:

  1. CGRC LIN cannot work with AIO-5 Play For BMW and AIO-6 with BMW Quick-Release Module.

  2. CGRC LIN must be connected directly to the 3-pin navigation interface and cannot be daisy-chained with other devices.
