Introduction to Wiring & Power (CHIGEE Display)

Introduction to Wiring & Power (CHIGEE Display)

Goal: reliable power and ignition-aware behavior (auto-on, Parking Monitor, 4G Live on LTE models).
Wires: Red = Battery +, Black = Battery − (Ground), Yellow = ACC/Ignition sense.

What each wire does

  • Red (B+): permanent +12 V from the battery (use a 2–3 A inline fuse near the battery).
  • Black (GND): battery negative or a clean chassis ground.
  • Yellow (ACC): switched +12 V that turns on with ignition and off with key.

How it works: Red/Black provide main power; Yellow tells the display when the bike is “ON.” Correct ACC enables proper wake/sleep and features like Parking Monitor / Anti-Theft Alerts (AIO-6 LTE) / 4G Live auto-wake (AIO-6 LTE).

Common mistakes & symptoms

ACC not connected or wrong line

  • Symptoms: no auto-wake when parked, 4G Live only while riding, bike state shows OFF.
  • Fix: move Yellow to a true ignition-switched source.

ACC on constant power

  • Symptoms: device stays awake or wakes randomly, battery may drain when parked.
  • Fix: relocate Yellow to a switched circuit.

Red/Yellow swapped

  • Symptoms: erratic behavior; Parking Monitor/4G Live inconsistent.
  • Fix: Red → battery +, Yellow → switched +12 V.

Poor ground or no fuse

  • Symptoms: random reboots, touch noise, update failures.
  • Fix: clean ground; add a 2–3 A fuse on Red near the battery.

How to find a proper ACC source

Method A — Fuse box (preferred)

  1. Multimeter to DC V; black probe to battery −.
  2. Ignition ON: probe for ~12 V.
  3. Ignition OFF: correct ACC line drops to 0 V.
  4. Use an add-a-fuse/tap for Yellow.
Method B — Tail-light harness (no fuse box)
  1. Access tail-light wiring under seat/rear cover.
  2. Identify wire with +12 V ON and 0 V OFF.
  3. Tap that line for Yellow.

Keep Red on battery + (fused) and Black on battery − regardless of where you pick ACC.

Connection recap

  1. Red → Battery +12 V (with 2–3 A fuse)
  2. Black → Battery − / clean chassis ground
  3. Yellow → Ignition-switched +12 V (ACC)

Quick verification

  • Key ON: display powers and shows ON state.
  • Key OFF: display enters countdown/sleep; on LTE models, Parking Monitor/4G wake behaves per settings.
