On the road puncture repair in the middle of Scotland
Tried the chigee for 5 weeks on my trip through italy and the balkan. The last week in Granada Spain. Works flawless with android auto. I did use google maps and tomtom ride. Only one thing, dont put your telephone in a tankbag with 35 degrees in the sun. It overheats and stops functioning. The chigee had no problem at all with these temperatures.
How to do increase the font size on the screen, the street names are so small, just impossible to read.
Does it matter how you position your phone when u use it for navigation? My thought was that it uses the phone for navigation (screen mirroring) but when i store it under the sadle to charge it i can’t place the phone straight in my driving position (diagonal and upright, because the place under the sadle is to small to place it just pointing forward). My “normal’. Bmw navigator is just upright and i want to make sure the route is displayed in the correct way.
For those who don‘t have a BMW, I use the Chigee remote and works well. Just in case you are watching it and thought about options. Remote is not super user intuitive but works. You can have your fingers of course in the end, but just saying. PS. Would not trade in the Chigee anymore. Love it and compared to other devices, its a solid solution and worth the money.
Good Evening, so my Chigee Play for BMW has turned up after backing on kickstarter and connect via the Nav cradle which it brilliant for just unclipping when the bikes left over night. Previously Ive used the Garmin XT and the only way I could get everything to play nice with the intercom was to have the phone paired to the bike and the Cardo headset paired to the bike and the XT not paired to anything. I popped the Chigee into the nav cradle and when the phone rang it showed on the bike TFT and the Chigee screen and it mean't the bmw connected ride app worked recording lean angle and the like but you couldnt hear the Chigee voice direction and 'Hey Siri' wouldnt work. I've watched a video where they have said unpair everything from the bike and just connect to the Chigee but then if the phone rings it doesnt show on the bike just the Chigee. With your phone connected to the bike and the Chigee and the headset do you get directions and have the luxury of having the BMW connected ride app working with the bike? P.S the mrs is also connected through via intercom to my helmet which when using the XT would cut direction whenever i was trying for directions before the whole thing would through a wobbly. Thanks Jay
Great vid! But discount code does not work :(
Why are all reviewers not testing Chigee with Android Auto? Is it because Chigee does NOT support Voice Control via Bluetooth Headset yet? (Chigee says they are working on it...)
Probably because Android sucks. LOL
@@kerrylebel4285 I had no idea the voice control didn't work with android auto because it works perfect on iOS
@@kerrylebel4285 Hmm, I guess that's why Android has a 70% share of cell phones worldwide and Apple only has 30%! Ooops!
Not as hard as CrApple
How does the phone battery cope using carplay?? Any issues with the siri indicator button? Does the indicator button only work when the tft is on Nav? Or both? Cheers
On the long ride from Land End to John O Groats, using the phone for nav, I had to top it up after approx 8 hrs but it was still on 43%, so no detrimental impact on battery life. The indicator button works once the bike is switched on as it connects to the bike via the RCA connector under the rear pillion seat. Cheers
Thanks for the update. I have a Spyder with BRP Bluetooth. I was considering how best to connect it to my bike, but ran into connection headaches. Having multiple Bluetooth devices, adds to a lot of pain getting the "bloody" thing to work. (Limey here in Canada). BRP Bluetooth , did not like my intercom, Carpuride no issues. So will try connecting to Carpuride only. Then I can enjoy my music. Also to note, depending on where you live, I have a plastic box using the original packaging so I can remove my Carpuride when I'm in questionable neighbourhoods. Cheers mate!!
ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO LOVED DAVE RESPECT I SEND MY LOVE TO YOU ALL WHAT A LOVELY TRIBUTE TO DAVE❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
And here's us in me wee MX heading south from deepest west coast Scotland ( for gathering of Mazda 5 folk in the shires ) and wondering about all these people on bridges. Must be Taylor Swift fans waiting for her coming up! 😮 Then I turned the radio on. Yaaaaae! Dave's Day! Good on ya! 👌 👏
Cheers for that, it seems such a long time ago now, but memories that will last forever. cheers for your comment.
Thanks for sharing, great to see.
I must say i did enjoy your VL and the chat. Great day great Hairy bikers. 🙂

What a great turn out I can't wait for this summer I can get out on my bike then and enjoy the open roads 😂😂 brilliant video thanks for sharing
One of the most incredible things I've ever had the pleasure to witness. I was driving my Tesco van and got caught in the convoy coming into Barrow. Not a problem tho..... The atmosphere was phenomenal 🎉 It choked me so much, to see the biker community come together to honour one of own. 🥲🥲 You did yourselves proud and Barrow will welcome you again with open arms. Wonderul, just wonderful ❤❤❤
Hope it's an annual event ❤
Absolutley amazing watching you guys come into barrow x
Thanks for sharing your experience of Dave Day, what more can you say.........just brilliant.........from a fellow biker and chef
Absolutely outstanding gathering ❤ unbelievable turn out and folk on bridges and standing on the roadside, A truly wonderful Dave day... God bless to you all. (Andy&Joan Todmorden)
Hey there hope I am not to late for the competition to win the W502B I have enjoyed watching your video thanks for the feedback definitely looking at getting one for my R1200RS holding thumbs for the win!
BIKERBREW W502B CARPURIDE
Thanks for the review. The 5" Carpuride looks perfect for a forthcoming ride to France.
Just a great unit all rounder, and on most bikes the 502 probably suits better, but the 702 prob better for those that use glasses as its just that bit clearer when riding. cheers for the comment.
Thanks for using my photo at the start of your vidio suggesting you took it and not me!!!! 😢
Hey David, theres no suggestion I took the photo, and it was used across every media outlet in the country, I couldnt find a name of the tog to credit you but I can now. peace brother, its all about Dave remember.
@@BikersBrew thank you for your reply, you are right, it is all about Dave, so rock on and carry on🎸
@@davidrockliffe3124 amen brother
If you didn't reach Barrow then you missed out on the best bit. It was awesome. Have to say what a cracking dashcam you have. You must let me know what it is.
Hmm tempted but I use my iPhone but something dedicated would be a great add.
Best day on my bike ever - great vlog matey👍
Same here !!! and thanks for the kind comment. Dont forget to subscribe as we have loads of stuff coming up over the summer. cheers again
Brilliant,giant! Seeing these videos very emotional ❤❤❤❤❤
You missed out on our Barrovian welcome!
Hey Nicholas, yes we most certainly did, but some of our posse had to be back in the Ribble Valley for 6pm. Disappointed ? yes of course, but so glad we took part in a large part of the day, just incredible, made even more so by the fabulous people of Barrow. Thank you to you all..
👍🏻 Brilliant thanks for sharing. I was on the ride what an experience and I think we all got caught up in the emotion of it didn’t we!
we sure did, just an incredible day !!! only made possible by the biker community in celebration of a top fella.
👍🏻 Lots of chat about doing something next year, let’s see what happens!
@@ClassicalGas101 think my fave idea at the moment is a food and music festival, fingers crossed.
4:37 "look out for bikes" 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant fella Thank you
Beautiful
Can't beat Unity Should be made an annual event from now on
Thanks, no rush. We'd been into Inglewhite for a trail race and I suggested going over to Bilsborrow bridge to see what we could see. No idea it would be so massive and so spectacular!
Don't suppose you've any footage including an 8ft unicorn on the bridge to Bilsborrow? I was over the southbound carriageway?
Ill check through the cuttings and see for ya 👍
Sorry, but a lot of the footage on this video is NOT on the NC500 - Eilean Donan Castle, The Quiraing, Glenfinnan Viaduct...
Hi Duncan, please note this is a preview of our 12 day break in Scotland doing the NC500 and other destinations, this teaser is a precursor to the NC500 video about to be released and includes scenic footage from our trip around Scotland. Hope that helps explain.
The biggest issue is that there isn’t a quick release, seems like a faff to unmount it after parking and I rather not leave it in the bike when parked in the city.
Agree Christopher, I'm a bit apprehensive leaving it on the bike sometimes, however the BMW version due very soon is compatible with the Nav cradle on the bike and offers quick release and they are looking at alternatives for other bikes.👍
@@BikersBrew sure, but most of us doesn’t mount it on a bmw cradle. And from what Chigee has said themselves not even the play model will have a quick release. And that’s their next gen stuff.
@@simulacrae Oh yeah I get that, but given two other prominent carplay screen manufacturers have gone down the same route with a BMW cradle adapter first theres obviously a market for it, but Chigee have intimated to all their ambassadors future products being developed DO include a quick release system. I am just working with Quadlock products at the moment that will make the AIO-5 Play on my bike QR, video to follow when its finished. cheers
Hi, you say 2 other manufacturers are utilizing the BMW cradle to mount? Carpuride I've watched on YT, but which is the other? You've recently said you prefer the W702B over the 5", so does the Chigee's superior build quality send you back to the smaller screen?
@@mattlyward1038 Hey Matt, in relation to size, now theres a statement, with my eyesight the 702 was easier to use and see in comparison to the 502, the Chigee build quality does make me swing to it more but its more the performance of the Chigee screen, its not just brighter, clearer, sharper but I like the auto dimming etc but its so much more responsive and accurate with touch registering more accurate than others, and the 5" suits the bike so much more, its almost OEM looking. If I was spending my own money, it would be the Chigee, everytime. Hope that helps pal.
great view of the viaduct great scenery
Cheers Colin, should have Part 1 ready this weekend. I still believe that until you actually see the scenery up on the west coast you cant begin to imagine how epic it is, there are no words to do it justice. Cheers for the comment.
Hi Lee, that snap looks bloody great. Pity its over 4 hours (each way) ride from me (avoiding motorways)
Hey HTB, well tell ya what fetch your tent and I'll take you there, be great craic, make a weekend of it.
@@BikersBrew me in a tent pmsl. I like my home comforts mate. In all honesty, I have to be a little careful, I suffered a minor heart attack 18 months ago followed less than 2 months later with bladder cancer. Both sorted now but as I said, need to be a bit careful and look after myself a bit more
@@HarleytheBandit Sorry to hear that pal, well we can always get you a B&B, or I'll get one of those Deliveroo bags and bring the food down to you.🤣
@@BikersBrew Cheers brother but I'm fine now thanks, a bit of mental health issue but slowly beating it. A b&b sounds like a plan, I'll definitely keep this in mind for later in the summer.
Thanks. I adapted a broken Garmin and magnetic contacts to w702 😊for my Suzuki Vstrom
Beautiful country.
I like your video and i looking forward to win this. But how you wana get my adress ?
It was won a few weeks ago MD, sorry, we did a video of the draw, but there is another screen giveaway coming in a few weeks so hang around. 👍
i bought the 7 inch carpuride i wish now i bought the 5 inch ass i ride a suzuki dl 250 v-strom its to big for my bike
hmmmmm, agree there Nick, the 7 is ok on bikes with lots of space behind the screen, but I am now running a 5 inch as its not as intrusive in the dash area.
Hi. I have different Chinese CarPlay screen on my gs and it vibrates a lot and there is nothing I can do about it. Secondly, when I start the engine the unit switches off and restarts. I guess there is not enough power during startup so it switches off. So my questions are. Did you find it as solid as the main screen? Does it stay on when you run the starter motor? Can you record the process from the ignition on to “connected” and engine on, please? What is the quality of the screen and its resolution? Thanks
Just about to go out on a ride so will do this now for you. If the unit is mounted on the GS cross bar with the Chigee cross bar mount its as solid as the TFT, no shaking, no movement whatsoever, and it fits beautifully and in keeping, you will see from the image to come. With regards to the screen performance, its got auto brightness, other brands dont, and on full brightness its clear and fully readable in direct sunlight, and at night it drops right down so theres no glare, resolution is sharp and very very clear, reaction to touch even with regular gloves is incredibly accurate and responsive. Build quality is top shelf and leagues ahead of the cheaper alternatives that I have tried, but this is reflected in the price. Honesty question ? If I was spending my own money this is the one I would buy. The BMW version is due in about 6 weeks, and will be with me in approx 2 weeks for testing and review, but I dont think it will look as good as being fastened directly to the cross bar, as this makes it neat and tidy. Hope that helps.
@@BikersBrew thank you so much. I’m am looking for a neat looking (almost oem) and good performance, good quality. So this might be the one. I bought cheap one and I am not 100% happy so now will have to buy again. Buy nice or buy twice 😅
@@BikersBrew Also could you tell a little bit more about the BMW version you mentioned. What that would be? I could not find any info on their website.
@@maciejmotochannel hey buddy, I cant say too much as its still under embargo, but a unit designed for use with the BMW nav cradle, but given I have used carplay units connected to the nav cradle it looks like an addon plus it does wobble a little, but the new AIO-5 Play that I am currently running connected to the crossbar, looks very OEM and is solid when riding.
@@BikersBrew Oh that is what I don't want. Becomes quite bulky and ugly. Thanks again.
Nice video! Thanks!
That helps a lot mate thanks . Keep up the good work with the videos . Great job fella .
Hi . Ive just bought one and its spot on. Only issue is that my apps wont transfer over . Its installed the basics like maps,spotify but wont let me add any others for some reason . Any ideas ? Great videos by the way cheers
Hi Gary, thanks for the sub, its because of you we have now hit 200 subscribers, well chuffed. OK so in terms of apps on Carplay units, they will only display app that are CarPlay compatible and not all apps are. For nav I use an app called My Route App, plus theres also one called Calimoto, both of these geared towards bikers and their apps are compatible so auto matically are shown on the screen, same with the usual favourites like spotify, Audible, Whats app etc, so itall depends if the app developer has made it compatible. Again cheers for the sub and hope this helps a bit.
How is the display in full sun, my TomTom is useless in plain sunlight….
Hi Patrick, its great, the screen is very bright when set to full, but there is no auto brightness, but fully readable in direct sunlight.. Hope that helps.
