Each system offers unique features tailored to specific needs, ranging from advanced safety tools to simpler operation. Let's analyze the differences and similarities between these models.
1. Features and compatibility
-
CHIGEE AIO-5 Lite: This is the most comprehensive model in the series and offers advanced features such as a dashcam and blind spot detection (BSD) for enhanced driving safety. However, installation requires additional effort, making it less accessible to the average user looking for a plug-and-play solution.
-
AIO-5 Play for BMW: Designed specifically for BMW drivers, this model provides instant support without the need for installation. It is a user-friendly system, but it lacks the ability to connect additional cameras, which can be a drawback for users who want security cameras.
-
CHIGEE AIO-5 Play: This version is designed for users who value simplicity and broad compatibility. Although it does not support cameras, it is very user-friendly for mirroring your phone screen to the display. This makes it ideal for easy connectivity with both Android and Apple devices.
2. Power supply and installation
-
CHIGEE AIO-5 Lite is powered by a battery and requires wired installation while requiring you to use additional cables and a ball head for mounting. This adds a bit more complexity to the installation process.
-
AIO-5 Play for BMW is specifically tuned for BMW cars with navigation preparation, meaning power and connection are direct and simple. The system is fully plug-and-play, which means it can be installed without fuss.
-
CHIGEE AIO-5 Play is more flexible in terms of power supply and can work with either USB power or a battery. The installation process is simpler than the Lite version, with only one output cable and the option of wired or USB installation.
3. Advanced features and hardware
-
Dashcam and safety features: Only the AIO-5 Lite offers support for a Sony IMX307 front and rear camera, as well as optional features such as parking monitoring and an anti-theft alarm. This makes it ideal for users who place a high value on security.
-
Controls and updates: Both Play models support optional CGRC CAN or LIN control, while the AIO-5 Play for BMW offers native support for BMW's wonder wheel. All three models also offer wireless phone mirroring, navigation, music streaming and voice control, although the Lite model offers some more advanced options.
4. General Specifications
In terms of technical specifications, all three systems offer the same basic functionality:
- Processor: All models have an Arm Cortex-A53 1.2 GHz processor, which means system performance will be similar.
- Storage and memory: The AIO-5 Lite offers 32GB internal memory and 4GB RAM, making it more powerful for heavy-duty applications and video surveillance compared to the 8GB storage and 2GB RAM of the other two models.
- Screen: All three systems feature a 5-inch screen with 1280 x 720 resolution, a peak brightness of 1200 Nits and water resistance (IP67 for the Lite, IP68 for the Play models), making them highly visible even in bright sunlight.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for the most comprehensive system with advanced safety features such as a dashcam and blind spot detection, the CHIGEE AIO-5 Lite the best choice, although it requires more installation effort. For BMW drivers who want a plug-and-play solution without the hassle of installation, the AIO-5 Play for BMW ideal.
