CHIGEE AIO-6 on BMW: Choose data source for Speed, Tilt, TPMS & Control
Once your AIO-6 is mounted on a BMW through the Navigation Cradle, the device has access to the motorcycle's data. Some of it the AIO-6 can also work out on its own — speed from its built-in GPS, tilt angle from its internal sensor, and tire pressure from the add-on CG TPMS sensors — so you have the same readings from two sources at once. The same goes for control: you can operate the screen with the BMW wheel or with a CHIGEE remote. In the AIO-6 menu you choose which source it uses. Here's how, one by one.
⚠️ Works only with the BMW Navigation Cradle
Every setting in this guide is available only when the AIO-6 is connected to the motorcycle through the original BMW Navigation Cradle. Without the cradle the screen has no link to the bike's electronics, so there's nothing here to switch.
What you can switch
Four things where you choose between the BMW source and the CHIGEE source:
- Speed — from the motorcycle's wheel, or from the AIO-6's GPS
- Tilt angle — from the BMW sensor (if your model has one), or from the AIO-6's sensor
- Tire pressure (TPMS) — from the BMW factory system, or from the add-on CG TPMS sensors
- Screen control — with the wheel on the BMW handlebar, or with a CG Pro / CGRC remote
Speed: BMW wheel or AIO-6 GPS
Path: Settings → Features → More, then scroll down to GPS Speed.
On — the BMW dashboard shows the speed calculated by the AIO-6's GPS. Off — it keeps the motorcycle's native wheel reading.
This helps when your BMW model doesn't send speed to the cradle, when a wheel-size change makes the speedometer read high or low, or when you simply prefer a reading that doesn't depend on the drivetrain.
Tilt angle: BMW sensor or AIO-6 sensor
Same More list (shown above), the option BMW Dashboard Shows Tilt Angle Data.
On — the AIO-6 sends its own tilt angle to the BMW dashboard. Off — the dashboard shows data from the motorcycle's sensor, provided your BMW model has one.
Not every BMW model has a factory tilt sensor. If yours doesn't and the option is off, the tilt field on the dashboard stays blank — that's not a fault, there's simply no source for the data. Turn the option on to have the tilt come from the AIO-6.
TPMS: BMW factory system or CG TPMS sensors
In the AIO-6, open the TPMS settings and set the source to NAV instead of CG TPMS. The screen will then show pressure from the BMW factory system — the same values you see on the motorcycle's dashboard.
If your BMW has a factory TPMS, separate CG TPMS sensors aren't needed — just set NAV. The CHIGEE sensors make sense when your BMW model has no factory TPMS, or when you move the AIO-6 to another motorcycle that has no pressure system of its own.
Control: BMW wheel or CHIGEE remote
You can operate the AIO-6 screen in two ways: with the wheel on the BMW's left handlebar (officially the Multi-Controller, known in the community as the wonderwheel) or with a CHIGEE CG Pro / CGRC remote. You set the source on the Remote Control screen.
When the Remote field shows NAV, the screen is driven by the BMW wheel passed through the cradle. To switch to a CHIGEE remote, add it with the Add Remote button and pair it with the screen.
Control via the wheel works only when your BMW model passes its signal through the cradle — not all model years do. If yours doesn't, or you also use the AIO-6 on a motorcycle without such a wheel, the CG Pro / CGRC remote is the way to go.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the AIO-6 show a different speed than the BMW speedometer?
Because speed comes from two sources: the motorcycle's wheel and the AIO-6's GPS. Small differences between them are normal. You choose which the screen uses with the GPS Speed option under Settings → Features → More.
Why is the tilt-angle field on the BMW dashboard blank?
Usually because your BMW model has no factory tilt sensor and the option to pass AIO-6 data is off. Turn on BMW Dashboard Shows Tilt Angle Data to have the tilt come from the AIO-6's sensor. It's not a fault.
Do I need to buy CG TPMS sensors if I have a BMW?
No, if your BMW has a factory TPMS — then in the TPMS settings you select NAV and the screen shows the factory pressure. Separate CHIGEE sensors are only needed if the motorcycle has no system of its own.
How do I control the AIO-6 screen with the wheel on the BMW handlebar?
On the Remote Control screen, the Remote source should be set to NAV — then the screen is driven by the BMW wheel through the cradle. This works if your BMW model passes the wheel signal (Multi-Controller / wonderwheel). If it doesn't, pair a CG Pro / CGRC remote with the Add Remote button.
Do these settings work without the BMW Navigation Cradle?
No. Choosing the source for speed, tilt, TPMS and control is possible only when the AIO-6 is connected to the motorcycle through the original cradle. Without it, the screen doesn't communicate with the BMW electronics.
The AIO-6 shows something different from the BMW dashboard — is something broken?
No. For speed, tilt angle and pressure you have two independent sources, and in the AIO-6 menu you choose which one is displayed. The differences come from the source setting, not a malfunction.
