Chigee AIO-5 for BMW

So in a nutshell you pay quite a bit for the Chigee which has a lot of features on it but it’s not a stand-alone Navigation device like a Garmin is or a Nav5/6.
It basically mirrors your phone so you have to buy the MRA navigation App from MRA and put that on your phone. Then you stuff your phone in your pocket and the Chigee is a mirror of your phone…
All very complex. Would be ideal if the Chigee was also a real time navigation unit and not just and expensive mirror of the phone.
My guess is you don’t upload any routes directly to the chigee and it cannot therefore act even as a basic navigator.
Sorry but then I am a bit lost and I’ll stick with my Nav6

Maybe wait and see what will eventually become a stand alone navigation unit to replace Garmin

Anyone good to read and learn so thanks for the advice

The problem is that a stand alone Sat nav will always be that, even with software updates it will at some point not be able to keep up with tech or features as it moves on, at that point you'd need to buy another stand alone device. I suppose this will happen with Chigee, but probably to a lesser extent. I'm upgrading the Chigee AIO 5 after only 1 year but I believe that a 6 inch screen removable unit is probably the sweet spot for me, and will probably last a few more years, the sat nav that I use it for, will keep up to date through the phone I use. And I have the option to use different Sat Nav apps if I feel the need. I normally use MRA but sometimes use Waze as it uses crowdsourced data.

Of course, we can all make the choices to suit what we use these things for.
 
so final question, I am probably going to go for the Chigee AIO 6 but then with 4G option.
Anyone know where I can get a good deal ?

CHIGEE website probably the best you can get at the moment, perhaps see if any YouTube influencers have a discount code that they share for a bit of kickback their way.
 
I just use Apple Maps on an AIO-5 and it works a treat. It’s a cracker device.
Makes my Zumo XT2 feel very clunky!
