Using Bluetooth Headsets with the CHIGEE Display

This article explains how to properly connect your Bluetooth headset when using the CHIGEE Display with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

For Apple CarPlay Users

Connection Flow: CHIGEE Display ⇔ iPhone ⇔ Bluetooth Headset

• The CHIGEE Display does not connect directly to motorcycle headsets via Bluetooth.
• Instead, your Bluetooth headset should pair with your iPhone, which handles audio output (e.g., music, navigation prompts).
• As long as your headset is connected to your phone, audio will work correctly with the CHIGEE Display.

🔈 Note: Only one headset can be connected at a time.

For BMW: If you're interested in experimenting with an alternative connection setup, you may refer to The Stammering Biker’s audio configuration as a reference. However, please note that we do not provide any support or guarantees for this configuration. Compatibility may vary depending on your phone model, iOS version, and headset.

For Android Auto Users

Dual Connection Setup Required (for full functionality):

Your Bluetooth headset should be connected to:

• Your phone – for audio output (music, navigation, calls)
• The CHIGEE Display – for microphone input (e.g., voice commands)

This setup allows:

• Sound to be played from your phone to the headset
• Voice commands to be captured by the headset and sent to the CHIGEE Display

⚠️ Important:

• We cannot guarantee that all Android Auto systems support voice control via Bluetooth headsets.
• However, you may try dual connection to see if it works with your specific headset model.
  
• 🔈 Note: Only one headset can be connected at a time.

Known Compatibility Notes

1. Limited Compatibility with Some Brands:

Headsets from Cardo, Sena, Pactalk Edge, and similar brands may have transmission protocols that are not fully compatible with the CHIGEE Display.

Due to the wide range of models and firmware versions, we cannot maintain a full compatibility list.

If your voice assistant doesn't respond or connect correctly, it's likely due to Bluetooth protocol limitations that cannot be resolved through software updates.

2. Voice Assistant Activation Issues:

Some headset models do not support voice assistant activation via voice command while riding.

If that’s the case, please tap the voice assistant button on the CHIGEE Display to manually trigger voice functions.
