As an enthusiast of motorcycle technology, I sought out a solution to enhance my riding experience without compromising safety or convenience. Enter the CHIGEE AIO-5Lite Motorcycle Carplay, a revolutionary device that seamlessly integrates Carplay functionality into my motorcycle setup. Here's my comprehensive review after putting it through its paces on the road. I have a new 2023 XSR900 which is still under 200 miles at the time of this review.

Pros:

Distraction-Free Carplay Integration: With Carplay, distractions are minimized, allowing me to focus more on the road ahead.
Dedicated Device: The AIO-5Lite eliminates the need to handle my phone while riding, as it can be safely stowed away while still charging using a powerbank.
Privacy Protection: Utilizing wireless Carplay means no personal information is stored on the device, enhancing security.
Accurate GPS Overlay: Despite a slight deviation in GPS accuracy, the overlay feature provides valuable data for my rides. My Bike's Speedometer showed 79mph, while the screen showed 76 or 77mph.
Easy Installation: Setting up the device was a breeze, with minimal effort required to integrate it into my motorcycle.
Comprehensive Video Overlay: The GPS coordinates, speed, and date/time overlay add an extra layer of functionality.
User-Friendly Interface: No additional apps are needed for setup or maintenance, simplifying the user experience.
Swift Startup: The device boots up quickly, ensuring minimal downtime before accessing Carplay functionality.
Intelligent Power Management: The ignition fuse connection ensures the device operates seamlessly with my motorcycle's power system. I tapped into the 10AMP ignition fuse on the main fuse box.
Clear Display: The screen clarity is impressive, even in various lighting conditions.
Seamless Connectivity: Integration with my Cardo Packtalk enhances communication while riding.
Enhanced Safety with Blind Spot Monitoring: The inclusion of blind spot monitoring adds an extra layer of safety, providing valuable awareness of surrounding vehicles.
Versatile Rear-View Capability: The ability to leave the rear camera feed active on the screen allows for convenient use as a rear-view mirror, particularly beneficial in situations where traditional mirrors may be obstructed or less effective.


Cons:
Limited Dashcam Resolution: The dashcam's 1080p resolution may fall short for some users, but it serves its purpose adequately.
Touchscreen Sensitivity: While functional with gloves, touchscreen responsiveness could be improved for users without conductive fingertips. And the screen is some Fingerprint magnet I would recommend a screen protector.


Notable Features:
TPMS Compatibility: Consider adding a TPMS add-on for added convenience and safety.
Ongoing Development: Await availability of OBD port adapters for broader compatibility.
Expandable Storage: Confirmed compatibility with up to 256GB SD cards for dashcam functionality.
Conclusion:
The CHIGEE AIO-5Lite Motorcycle Carplay has significantly enhanced my riding experience, offering seamless integration of Carplay functionality while prioritizing safety and convenience. With its easy installation, comprehensive features, and user-friendly interface, it has become an indispensable companion on my motorcycle journeys. Whether navigating city streets or embarking on long rides, this device has truly made my life easier while riding.
