No idea about connected nav but the Chigee is much better quality than Carpuride.
+1 for Chigee - AIO-5 Play for BMW. Works a dream with MyRouteApp
Depends on what you want from the solution. If screen size is important to you then certain options talked about on here have quite different sized screens. I use a 702 and really like the extra screen space you get on a 7" display.
The new Chinese AIO6 is much better build quality than the Carpuride and higher screen resolution.
It’s also brighter at 1200 nits compared to 1000 the Carpuride.

Adjustable Handle bars look interesting.
Anyone got any info about them?

I've got both. I like both. If I HAD to choose between them, I'd go for the Connected Ride. I wouldn't pay the new price, though. Did I mention that it's not a Garmin?
Can i ask why you prefer the Connected ride ?.
I have a garmin xt2 but would prefer to use something that utilises the wonder wheel .
Lack of faff, basically. Straight into the cradle, great wonder wheel integration, write routes on MRA and transfer them to the CRN by the CR App. Stand alone sat nav. Solid and well built. It has its issues and foibles but don't they all? I should add that I have no desire to do some of the modern things that people seem to want to do whilst riding. I'd take a phone call but not make one. I listen to music sometimes. That's it. I like the Carpuride for the familiar display of MRA and Google maps etc. and the screen size as my eyesight is dodgy. It can do all those modern things that people seem to want. I've had terrible connection problems but I seem to have sorted that out with a stand alone phone and have resolved the draining battery issue with a power bank etc.
I'm lucky that I don't have to choose. It's not a review of each, just my reasons why I'd go for the CRN if I could only have one. Despite BMWs disgusting lack of updates and support for it, it still does what I want.
Forums in relation to both are full of people with loads of problems.
And yes, I'm an old bastard.
Thanks for that . Main use would be similar to you.
Hi there, can you post a link to that price on Amazon pls, I can only see £272? Thanks.
Aha, gotcha. Thanks for the reply.

I ordered one on Amazon yesterday, £272, should be here today. I had the Chigee 5 before but the display was too small, and the Chigee 6 still seems to have delivery issues plus is more than 2x the price.
I’m going to France on Wednesday to do RDGA. I’m hoping a voucher may pop up before Sunday
