Mixed experiences with the Garmin zūmo XT2 on my Kawasaki H2 SX SE left me seeking better options, while smartphone apps like Calimoto and Google Maps delivered much better results. Quad Lock mounts kept my phone viable as a backup, but for enhanced visibility and security on long rides, a dedicated smart display became essential. Extensive research led straight to the Chigee AIO-6 Max, perfectly suited for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on motorcycles.
The Chigee Fork Stem Mount comes with six adapter plugs covering fork stem holes from 12 mm to 29 mm. Selecting the right fit was simple; I secured it to the stem and paired it with the Quick-Release cradle. This central position optimizes viewing without cluttering the cockpit.
Three connectors grace the AIO-6 Max: two orange for cameras (skipped here) and one red handling 12V power, ground, and ignition-switched ACC. I wired power and ground straight to the battery, tapping ACC via a non-invasive T-connector into the lighter socket for switched operation. This preserved all factory wiring while ensuring reliable startups.
Months of riding have shown the Chigee AIO-6 Max to work well alongside phone apps, offering a noticeable step up from traditional GPS devices. Desktop route planning, music apps, and navigation all display clearly on the bright, glove-friendly screen without visibility issues. The unit’s build holds up through various weather and road conditions.
Chigee’s Quick-Release Anti-Theft Locks had reliability issues at first, requiring multiple claims that resulted in a full refund. Repairs by a friend allowed reinstallation on both of my bikes, making the system practical again. The design aims to prevent theft pretty effectively when it functions properly.
The Chigee AIO-6 Max provides a solid navigation upgrade for the Kawasaki H2 SX SE, combining phone app strengths with dedicated display benefits. Chigee Quick-Release system adds practicality, while Quad Lock remains a good backup option. Riders prioritizing app integration may find it worth considering.
