Well I said would reply the other day when I recovered but I guess I'm still tired. Better late then never though I suppose!
@Forcefield Hope the house move went OK?
I was more interested in the current draw than the voltage on that accessory wire. I already have the adaptor but was curious about the current draw of the Chigee (how do you pronounce it - sounds like chiggy/shiggy/chy-gee/shy-gee?
I guess as a trigger it won't pull much current as most of it will come through the red cable so I can see what that fuse is rated at and know it will be less than that! I wonder what the current output of the BMW SatNav connector is rated at though?
Would be interested in seeing your mounting solution(s) as that is the one thing I know I will struggle with. It took me a year and half-a-dozen brackets to get the phone mounting solution I was happy with and then Chiggee release the AIO-5 which means I could just keep it in my pocket or more likely in the cubby as I fitted a USB-C socket in there just for charging. Have I mentioned I'm very fussy?
Enjoyed the video...keep 'em coming!
Their website offers 15% off, my mate gave me a 20% off code (that's good news for the 20% Forum discount
) but I think I said somewhere else that a couple of hours after I received it they sent me a 33% off code for their soon-to-be-released AIO-5 Play which is due to ship 22nd May. To my address. I'm nothing if not greedy...
Methinks they got their naming convention the wrong way round though. The fully-featured one is called Lite and the one with additional video cameras is called Play.
@richtea Thanks for the link.
Seemed a positive review like every other I've watched and/or read. General consensus seems to be its a quality, well made unit. Mind you they said that about the CarPlay I bought for the A8 and I ended up removing the damn thing...
I was up your way early hours of Saturday morning taking some photos of the Aurora. If only I could easily post photos here I would send it up...
I finally got round to making my own harnesses and fitting those Schroedie illuminated roundels/emblems and I have to say they're a really nice touch especially when driven by the ezCAN as it allows you to do some tricks and easily disable the white DRL just leaving them as indicators for those strict MOT testers!
After the first ride out I noticed the n/s one had lost its white DRL. A quick tap on the fairing side panel bought it back on but it was flickering. Cursing my harness-making abilities even though I used the proper crimping tool, inspected all joints and also ran solder into them. I removed the panel only to find the red wire from the LED itself had come out of the factory-fitted crimp pin!
I notified Motorworks and told them I would have a go at repairing it but they contacted the supplier who agreed to send out a new one along with the connector. All credit to Tilly at Motorworks she said she would remove the parts from a stock unit and ship it to me that same day which indeed was exactly what happened.
Great customer service from Motorworks so I will be using them again.
All I need to do now is ride it in the dark to see what dimming level I need to adjust the night setback to as apparently they are bright at night and can be distracting while riding. Even though I don't get direct line of sight because they are blocked by their mouinting position and fairing panels I don't want to be scaring wildlife in the bushes as I ride past!
I'll probably start with them at 50% and see how that goes but it seems like I'll have my own puddle lights into the bargain! I might even set them to strobe when the horn button is pressed for a little more visibllity but we shall see.
I also run the Denali Soundbomb from the ezCAN with a 0.25 second delay so a brief push of the horn goes meep while a longer press goes BWAAAARRPP
