Understanding the Issue

If you notice that OBD data freezes or stops updating on your CHIGEE Display, it may be due to limitations in your motorcycle’s OBD protocol, not a fault with the device itself.

Designed for Short-Term Diagnostics

Some motorcycle brands and models use OBD interfaces that are intended only for short-term diagnostic use, not for continuous real-time data transmission.
For example, BMW motorcycles can initially transmit data via the OBD port, but the connection is not stable over extended periods. This is by design and not a technical malfunction.

Observable Symptoms

• OBD data (such as RPM, speed, or temperature) freezes or lags after a while of riding
• The display may stop updating dynamic information
• Phone mirroring still working

This typically happens because the OBD protocol does not support continuous data streaming. Most real-time data points are time-limited or restricted by the ECU.

Known Affected Models

• All BMW motorcycle models
• Other motorcycle brands and models may also be affected due to similar ECU design constraints

What You Can Do

Unfortunately, CHIGEE cannot override manufacturer-imposed limitations on OBD data output.
We recommend contacting your motorcycle’s manufacturer to confirm whether continuous OBD data transmission is supported for your specific model.
