Is the AIO-5 Play BMW version compatible with my BMW?
The AIO-5 Play for BMW is specifically designed for motorcycles equipped with BMW's Nav Prep. It connects directly to the Nav Prep and is powered by your BMW's electrical system.
We understand that many BMW owners want to ensure compatibility with their motorcycle. Here's what you need to know:
BMWs with a 3-Pin Navigation Interface but No Nav Prep:
If your BMW has a 3-pin navigation interface but is not equipped with Nav Prep, you can still make your motorcycle compatible with the AIO-5 Play BMW version. Simply install a BMW navigator cradle yourself. This addition will allow the AIO-5 Play to integrate seamlessly with your bike, providing the full range of features. Locate 3-Pin Navigation Interface
Reading Tire Pressure Data:
- If your BMW has a factory-installed TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), CHIGEE can directly read your TPMS data.
- If your BMW does not have a factory-installed TPMS, please consider purchasing the CHIGEE TPMS. Note that CHIGEE devices are not compatible with TPMS from other brands.
Adaptability:
- Perfect Compatibility:
- CHIGEE devices seamlessly integrate with BMWs, providing native data access and Wonder Wheel control.
- Please ensure you've selected "NAV" in the Settings-Features-RC menu, rather than "CGRC."
- If your BMW is perfectly compatible but you do not see the "TFT-NAV" indicator on the upper right corner of your BMW TFT dashboard after connecting the CHIGEE, please upgrade software.
- Software Not Supporting:
- BMW's native data accessible, but Wonder Wheel control requires software update or CGRC CAN purchase.
- We have identified that some models do not support software upgrades. Please refer to the compatibility chart for more information.
- Without Wonder Wheel:
- For BMWs without Wonder Wheel, we recommend the CGRC PRO remote.
- CGRC CAN Required in Wonder Wheel control (native data can be read):
- For RT/K series with mechanical instruments, you can purchase the CGRC CAN for control. (2011-2021 K1600 series / 2020 R1250 RT / R1200 RT / 2016-2017 R1200 R)
- Wonder Wheel control is unavailable (native data can be read):
- For RT/K series with TFT instruments, Wonder Wheel control is unavailable—consider the CGRC PRO remote instead. (2021-2023 R1250 RT & 2022-2023 K1600 models & 2022-2023 K1600B)
Native Data Reading & Wonder Wheel Control Issues:
Some BMW have pre-installed navigation systems with varying software versions. Even if your BMW has NAV Prep installed, it may still be unable to directly access Wonderwheel control or read native data as advertised. This inconsistency is due to software variations among different BMW models and production years. Contact a BMW-authorized dealer to schedule a software upgrade for your navigation system.
