iPhone only!!! Tutorial video regarding the different methods of pairing between the CHIGEE AIO-5 and your headset/BMW TFT. Please note this video focuses solely on Apple CarPlay as the considerations for Android Auto are different and this may come in a future video.
DISCLAIMER - As mentioned in the video this tutorial is only a guide and I accept that some of the information given may have different results depending on your phone model, iOS version and your headset. I am in no way suggesting these are the only configurations nor am I trying to suggest you must pick one over another. Do whatever works for you. Please comment in the video with your suggestions or own experiences, myself and CHIGEE would love to have more info to use.
CONFIGURATION 1
This is the simplest and by far easiest. This will be simply your phone connected to the AIO-5 for CarPlay and your headset paired directly to your phone.
Pros: Simple, Siri, Everything works when bike is switched off
Cons: No control through the BMW TFT
CONFIGURATION 2
This is where you want to connect your phone to the AIO-5 for CarPlay but you want your headset and phone paired through the BMW TFT so you can also control via the TFT.
Pros: More flexibility of control, dual notifications
Cons: Possibly distracting, no Siri, no audio with bike switched off
CONFIGURATION 3
This is where you want to use the dual channels (if supported by your headset) to have your phone paired to the TFT and your headset paired to BOTH your phone and your TFT.
Pros: Siri, audio when bike is switched off
Cons: Far more prone to issues, potential audio problems
BONUS CONFIGURATION
This is where you want to connect your phone to the TFT so you can still use the Connected Ride app to record journeys etc.
Pros: Connected Ride app works
Cons: Needs Apple Shortcuts and Automations in order to work properly
