The Chigee AIO-5 Lite is not something that everyone will find a use for , but it is a cool bit of kit with well thought out functions and features .
An unknown brand to us , Chigee asked if they could send an AIO-5 Lite to install on my bike and give it a test . With a fair degree of scepticism , I agreed . Generally , when companies reach out , out of the blue , I don ’ t expect the best products , but when it comes to the Chigee AIO-5 Lite , I have been well and truly surprised .
WHAT IS IT ? Let ’ s start with “ What even is it ?” It ’ s a dash cam , telemetry and navigation device , as well as having some very cool features , such as sentry mode , speedo , tyre pressure monitoring and more . There ’ s an IP67 rated 5-inch LCD display with some wires hanging out of it for power , acc , earth , front camera , rear camera and a GPS module . In the kit I was sent , I also received a couple of tyre pressure sensors , a bluetooth remote , and an accessory bar mount . When powered up , the unit automatically starts recording both cameras to an SD card inserted in the bottom of the screen , as well as connecting to your phone via bluetooth for Apple Carplay and Android Auto . The build quality seems good , it feels very solid and the finish is quality . As well as the mounting hardware , the mounting bolts are all those starshaped security ones with the little pins in the middle , so it should be quite tamper proof .
INSTALLATION Installation is reasonably straight forward ; run a constant power off the battery , an earth off the battery and find a 12v trigger wire which powers
