CHIGEE AIO-5 Lite: Come for CarPlay, stay for automatic video capture

Welcome to 9to5Mac Gearbox. While Gearbox is primarily written for motorbike riders, you’ll find that riding technology isn’t always just for bikers. Stay safe and enjoy the ride!

Apple CarPlay is becoming more common on motorcycles, but infotainment systems are typically only offered on high-priced touring bikes. Fortunately, there’s a fantastic aftermarket solution for adding CarPlay to almost any motorcycle. I’ve been testing the CHIGEE AIO-5 Lite, an all-in-one system that includes a CarPlay/Android Auto display, front and rear cameras, and an integrated safety system to keep riders alert. 

Specifically, I installed the CHIGEE AIO-5 Lite on a 2020 Honda Rebel 500, a standard cruiser that’s spec’d well for new riders. 

With its front and rear cameras, the AIO-5 Lite makes for a great safety enhancement for new and experienced riders. Installation is simple enough if you’re comfortable with running wire and accessing your battery. A few YouTube videos helped me along the way.
