Important Notice: CGRC CAN Required for Wonder Wheel Control in Specific BMW Models

When integrating the AIO-5 Play for BMW with certain BMW motorcycles, some models require extra CGRC CAN module for full functionality. 
Affected Models:
• 2011-2021 K1600 series
• R1200 RT
• 2016-2017 R1200 R
• 2020 R1250 RT

Some models have unique control logic that prevents switching between TFT and NAV, and others do not transmit Wonderwheel control through the 3-pin navigation channel. As a result, only the BMW version of AIO-5 Play cannot directly connect with the Wonderwheel. To enable control via the Wonderwheel, you must purchase the additional CGRC CAN module.

These limitations are due to the design of BMW motorcycles, and CHIGEE is unable to provide any fixes for this issue.
