Pair a Bluetooth headset with your CHIGEE Display

Pair a headset for CarPlay or Android Auto audio, and learn when Android Auto also needs a headset connection to the display.

Pair your Bluetooth headset with your phone to hear music, calls and navigation prompts while using CarPlay or Android Auto on the CHIGEE Display. For Android Auto voice input, you may also need to pair the headset with the CHIGEE Display.

How audio and microphone connections work

Audio for CarPlay and Android Auto travels from your phone to your headset over Bluetooth. The CHIGEE Display does not play or mix your phone audio.

  • CarPlay: Pair the headset with your iPhone. The iPhone sends music, navigation prompts and calls to the headset.

  • Android Auto: Keep the headset paired with your phone for audio. Pair it with the CHIGEE Display as well if your setup needs the display connection for microphone input.

  • Second phone: The CHIGEE Display does not pass audio from a second phone to the headset. Pair the second phone directly with the headset if the headset supports two phones.

For volume and audio-routing questions, see Music and volume FAQs for CarPlay and Android Auto.


Pair a headset for CarPlay

  1. Put your headset in pairing mode.

  2. On your iPhone, open Settings > Bluetooth and pair the headset.

  3. Connect the iPhone to the CHIGEE Display using CarPlay.

  4. Play music or start navigation and confirm that audio comes through the headset.

To use Siri from your headset, see Use Siri with your headset on CarPlay. If you ride a BMW with a TFT, see Use CarPlay with a BMW TFT and ConnectedRide.


Pair a headset for Android Auto

For Android Auto, keep the headset paired with your phone for audio. If voice input requires a second connection, pair the headset with the CHIGEE Display as well.

  1. On the CHIGEE Display, open Settings > Peripherals > Headset.

  2. Select your headset from the list and complete pairing.

  3. Keep the headset paired with your phone for music, calls and navigation prompts.

  4. Test the on-screen voice assistant button to confirm whether microphone input works with your phone and headset.

The CHIGEE Display connects to one headset at a time. Voice control behavior depends on the headset, phone and their firmware versions. For additional setup steps, see Use Android Auto voice input with your CHIGEE Display.


If voice input does not work

  1. Check that the headset is paired with the phone and, if required, the CHIGEE Display.

  2. Check the headset manufacturer's instructions for multi-device connections and firmware updates.

  3. Try the on-screen voice assistant button. If voice activation from the headset is not supported in your setup, use the on-screen button instead.

A rider video from AdvExplorerOz demonstrates one Android Auto voice-command setup on the AIO-5 Play. This is a user-tested configuration, not a guarantee of compatibility with every phone and headset.
