MRA Navigation Next support for Chigee AIO-5 and BMW Multi-controller
-
Does anyone know if MRA Navigation Next will support the BMW Multi-controller if the bike has been equipped with the Chigee AIO-5? This device has CarPlay/Android Auto and is connected via the Canbus. It looks very clever having a touch screen.

@Carl-Flint I hope so because I have just ordered the newer Chigee Play (without cameras), however, as I have a BMW R1300GS I know I have to wait for Chigee to make a special remote to connect to the Multi-Controller as the current one for the R1250GS is not compatible.

MRA doesn’t need to do anything. The controls from the BMW Wheel aren’t sent to the phone. The left/right wheel simply moves between the clickable elements on the CarPlay screen. The indicator cancel button then “clicks” on the currently selected element.
It’s the same as using the Tab key on a Windows PC and then using the space bar to select.
It’s a bit clunky, and annoying that only left/right works, but it does mean you can use any CarPlay app without touching the screen if you have the patience to move the selection box around the screen.

'Maybe you can still cancel this
There will be one in July that you can simply connect to the BMW system and it will work with the wonderweel -
@versluis Thanks for the information. I’ll look into that

Thanks for reply. The new chigee mentioned coming out in July could be interesting for my BMW, although I have a Carpuride 702 at the moment which I like very much. Having clicked on the link from versluis, in the advertising of their new BMW offering, it mentions the ConnectedRide Nav system. I presume this means Navigation preparation? It will be interesting to follow some YouTube tests of the device.
