On the BMW K1600 and RT configurations listed below, using the original Wonder Wheel to control the CHIGEE Display requires CGRC CAN. The motorcycle’s shared control protocol can make the BMW instruments and CHIGEE Display respond at the same time.
The demonstration shows this simultaneous-control behavior. Check the exact motorcycle, year and instrument type below before choosing a control method.
Choose a control method
CGRC CAN keeps the original Wonder Wheel as your CHIGEE control. CGRC Pro provides a separate control for the CHIGEE Display.
Use the original Wonder Wheel with CGRC CAN
CGRC CAN lets you use the original Wonder Wheel without adding a separate handlebar remote. On the affected motorcycles, scrolling through the CHIGEE interface can also change the BMW dashboard.
On AIO-6 LTE, AIO-6 Max, AIO-5 Play and AIO-5 Play for BMW, you can temporarily turn CGRC CAN input off with the BMW turn-signal button. This requires AIO-6 firmware v1.6.6 or later, or AIO-5 Play and AIO-5 Play for BMW firmware v1.8.3 or later.
Follow Turn CGRC CAN Wonder Wheel control on or off for the setting and button operation. Check the CGRC CAN product options and connector installation guide before ordering.
Use CGRC Pro for independent control
CGRC Pro (MFP0089) operates the CHIGEE Display independently of BMW instrument controls, avoiding the simultaneous-control conflict. It is a separate remote that must be mounted on your motorcycle handlebar.
Check mechanical-instrument models
On these BMW configurations, simultaneous Wonder Wheel control occurs only in the instrument cluster’s Secondary Settings Interface:
K1600 series: 2011–2021
R1250 RT: 2020
R1200 RT: 2016–2017
Check TFT-instrument models
On these BMW configurations, simultaneous Wonder Wheel control occurs across all interfaces of the BMW instrument cluster and CHIGEE Display:
R1250 RT: 2021–2023
K1600 models: 2022–2023
K1600 B: 2022–2023
R1300 RT
Understand the remaining limitation
The simultaneous-control behavior comes from the BMW motorcycle’s protocol. CHIGEE cannot remove that underlying limitation. Temporarily turning off CGRC CAN input stops the CHIGEE Display from responding until you turn it back on; it does not permanently separate the shared controls.
Check native BMW data separately from Wonder Wheel control. Some K1600 and RT models can provide data through CGRC LIN even when CGRC LIN cannot provide Wonder Wheel control. Use the CGRC LIN model and year table for that distinction.
