Power and Test via USB-A to USB-C (Pre-Install)

Power and Test via USB-A to USB-C (Pre-Install)

Before installing the Chigee Display onto your motorcycle, you can power the device through its USB-C port using a USB-A to USB-C cable. This allows you to complete the initial setup, perform firmware updates, or check functionality without connecting to the motorcycle power supply.

Testing Methods:

- Connect the USB-C port of the Chigee Display to a laptop or a USB wall charger using a USB-A to USB-C cable.
- Ensure that your power adapter supports at least 5V/2A output.
- For reliability, try different power sources for cross-testing (e.g., switch between laptop and charger).

⚠️ USB power is only for short-term testing and setup.

    Troubleshooting:

    If the device does not power on:

    • The issue may be caused by a faulty USB cable, connector, or power adapter.
    • Please try using a different cable or power source.
    • Please try changing the charging adapter or USB-A to USB-C cable if you can not turn on the unit by USB-C power source. The adapter's power output might be too high, triggering the device's protection system to limit power input.

    Alternative Power Solution:

    If USB-C power testing fails, we recommend powering the device directly:

    • From the motorcycle battery, or
    • By mounting the device into the BMW cradle base.
    For AIO-6 series: Use the USB-C diagnostic port, located on the side of the device, next to the SD card slot. The Main Wiring Harness Port on the back of the device cannot be powered via a USB cable.

    For AIO-5 Play: You can power the device via USB port. 

    For CHIGEE Display with camera: Powering the device via USB may result in insufficient voltage or power, causing the camera or GPS to not start properly. This is not a product defect. Please refer to the accompanying documentation for more details.
