Hey Chris! I've had my OI five since April. And it is a game changer. I'm currently using it on my 1300 GS but I would've loved to have it on my DUCATI Peak since they didn't bother giving me any tire pressure sensors.
@@RT.JacekStolarski If you are talking about the weight of the valve sensors On a rubber valve stem, I agree. If you're talking about overall weight, Motorcycles that are equipped with TPS sensors have them on the inside, my Ducati did not So having the sensors on the outside Makes no difference
As I read the instructions further, apparently this allows the bike to keep the dash cam recording even when off. Typically, devices that only need to know when the bike is powered on will only have a positive and negative, with a positive being a switched accessory wire so the device only powers on when the bike is on. This has an included accessory wire, allowing the device to retain full 12 volt power at all times, only switching the display on and Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi connections on when the bike is turned on
ah, so perhaps it's more that the accessory wire is the 'normal' configuration and the extra wire is actually the positive connection directly to the battery which provides the always-on voltage. 😀
Oof, that's a tough decision. My understanding is that the BMW GPS is basically a Garmin zumo xt2, which is what I run on my Ducati. To simplify, here are my thoughts on the major differences. If you ride in areas frequently without cell service or off-road, the Garmin GPS will be the only option for you. It's well made, does some pretty cool things and is very easy to live with. It also handles managing some of your phone functions if you need it to. This Chigee AIO-5 is incredibly well made, and packs a ton of features. Ultimately, if you don't want to put your phone on the handlebars this is probably the product for you as it replaces all the functionality in a convenient package, with the edition of blind spot monitoring, backup camera, and always recording dashcams.
Wonder how it handles high heat and humidity and rain in Thailand? Can it be removed easily....e.g., when you are parked and leave bike? Assume when connected to my Samsung i use Waze or Maps? And can simultaneous use other apps like Sirius...connected to my Cardo headset?
I would assume the heat and humidity is not much different from my Summers in North Carolina where it functions flawlessly. Interestingly, there is a screen lock button for the case of rain so the capacitive touch screen doesn't go crazy like most phones which is super well thought out. It is mounted using metal hardware and security torx style screws, so it is not super easy to remove with common tools but if someone really wants it it's gone. I've yet to see any sort of navigation device that this is not the case. It makes the wireless connection to Android auto in your case, if you're not familiar with it, it will use maps or Waze depending on your preference and have some music streaming service available to you whether it is serious, RUclips music, Pandora, Spotify, whatever. To keep a lossless system, your phone stays paired to your cardo and the the Chigee also pairs to your phone.
hey Chris, I'm not sure if this is a temporary setup on that mto 3 but the mto 3 has rubber valve stems, just like my MT10. the weight of those sensors will rip that valve right out of its base and you will get a flat! Change to metal valve stems immediately!
@@4KMotoring Doesn't matter how fast the bike is centrifugal force will rip the valve stem off. Trust! There is no patch or plug That will fix it! you will be stranded. This is nothing Enlightening, everyone knows you don't put tps sensors on rubber valve stems
Physics suggests speed really does matter, as the forces increase exponentially as speed increases. That said, these are little plastic sensors that weigh very little, without a doubt the rubber valve stems are not as strong as the snap-in valves, but I have run these for a while and can assure you that there's no immediate safety hazard in this application.
@@4KMotoring if you want to risk your life over a $10 set of valve stems suit yourself! Happened to me at around 65 miles an hour! Unfortunately youtube will not let me post a picture here in the comments of how this happened. If you find this an acceptable risk maybe people shouldn't Take Any of your Advice seriously.
If you weait a few mnths the io5-play will come out, fits the standard navigation mount, has vertical scroll functionality on the wonderwheel and also has standard OBD engine parameter on the screen. No camera as there is not enough power on the navigation mount.
Might add that if you don’t care about the camera stuff that you can buy the ‘Play’ version. Basically just the unit with carplay which makes it cheaper if you, like me, only need a good nav alternative.
I've been doing a good bit of testing and will have more information on the blind spot monitoring and backup camera system included soon. Tldr, I'm very impressed. As far as internal TPMS I can't speak to that, the external ones are not super attractive but they have been very reliable so far
The AIO-5 supports lossless Bluetooth by allowing your phone to stay connected directly to your intercom. The AIO-5 can act as a remote control for your phone while the audio comes directly from it
I am contemplating the purchase. However I want to know how does wireless airplay impact the phone battery life? Does the constant Bluetooth connection drain the battery? anyone noticed any phone heating up or phone battery drain issues, etc?
While these systems have improved over the years with updates, they use Wi-Fi connections and are actually pretty power hungry. If you do a lot of short commutes you won't have any problems keeping the phone in your pocket, if you do long trips you'll want to put your phone somewhere on a charger.
@@4KMotoring Thanks for your quick response. I understand what you say. I am torn between a dedicated GPS like Garmin vs Chigee. While Chigee has better features, wondering if it will drain my phone battery making it useless once phone is off.
@@4KMotoring Thanks. I currently use phone on Quadlock(with vibration dampening) & USB charging. Works perfectly. I was thinking of standalone GPS to avoid any damage to my phone & to remove it completely from handlebar. Then I came across Chigee and it beats GPS unit in non-navigation features, but can't be used if your phone is dead! That is where the dilemma is :)
It still has cool features, with its own GPS antenna it gives speed, tpms, and bling spot warnings. In the time I've been riding, I've yet to run my phone down until it's dead.
If there's a specific unit you're questioning, include the link so I can look into it. I have tried a ton of similar cheaper models and by far this is the best one
Thanks for detail review and deep points. No one telling the feature of light sensor on youtube.👏🏻 And i have two questions? Did u have any info or compression chances with alien rider pro car Play? Second one on the google maps in background is it dark and dim automatically with iphone?And again bright?Like passing in tunnels or under big bridges? Thx.🎉
I have not reviewed the Alien Rider system but i have looked into it. Instead of using a visual algorithm for the cameras to act as blind spot monitors, it employs its own mm-Radar system (Like Innovv). I use a radar system on my Ducati and it is flawless, but the camera system on the Chigee is still very effective (and even triggers a back-up camera feature when you walk the bike backwards). They screen on the Chigee looks to be slightly higher quality with better overall build, it also has the super useful physical buttons on top that the Alien Rider does not seem to. Considering the pric point of both units, I would likely choose the Chigee.
@@4KMotoring thanks for replying.So for smart riding solutions have two ways!With 77 radar or cam view support via software. Both of them have pros and cons. Depends up to your preference. Have a safe ride.
I get altitude, a place for engine temperature, tire pressure and temperature, and time of sunset or sunrise, I don't see any ambient temperature listed
@4KMotoring so now you're adding the cost of a mount that should come with the device if it's designed for motorcycles lol. amount that the other options come with in the box
@4KMotoring they have the bmw specific thing yes But most of these are going on Adventure bikes and most of them have a little bar for GPS units and they're not as wide as a handlebar. It doesn't make any sense not to include amount for that when literally every other brand does. The carpuride has one included
Unfortunately I'll have to disagree with you a bit there, the majority of motorcycles is going on do not have any sort of navigation bar set up. Quite frankly, I don't remember the last time I even saw a bike with that feature. ADV bikes usually have big wide handlebars, yeah so I think this is a perfect solution. If the bar clamp is too large without a reducer present, you can use a piece of tire inner tube or plastic bits to taper down to whatever bar size you have.
The camera isn't bad at night, but it doesn't provide much useful detail. You can't read reflective license plates when headlights illuminate them at night

pretty sure the accessory wire in the power loom is so that it knows when the bike is switched on - not to keep the device powered all the time. 👍

nice review by the way. I'm tossing up between this and the new BMW specific version which has integration with the BMW TPMS but no cameras.

They must change the design to allow the display to be removed quickly (cradle).

Good point! Though cameras are required for the blind spot monitoring which really sets this one apart!
Can you talk about the blind spot system? Also, are the internal tpms sensors available yet? Has anyone tried them?

Best alternative to the AIO-5? Assuming you want to stay close in functionality, the Speedal Navicam is a close second
