Chigee AIO-6 Max/LTE vs AIO-5 Lite: What Are the Benefits of Upgrading?

In the fast-moving world of motorcycle tech, few names have made as much noise as Chigee. Known for pushing the envelope in all-in-one smart displays, Chigee’s latest offering—the AIO 6 Max and AIO-6 LTE—promises a leap forward in design, usability, and modularity. But how does it actually compare to the already popular AIO-5 Lite?

Let’s break down the key differences and find out what you truly gain by choosing the AIO 6 Max/LTE over the AIO-5—and whether it’s the right choice for your style of riding.

The AIO-6 series is available in two versions: the AIO-6 Max and the AIO-6 LTE. Both share the same hardware platform and modular design, but the LTE model includes built-in 4G connectivity for features like live tracking, remote access, and cloud syncing. This gives riders the flexibility to choose a version that best fits their connectivity needs.

Display: Bigger, Brighter, Better

• AIO-5 Lite: 5″ IPS display, 1280×720 resolution, ~1200 nits brightness

• AIO-6 Max/LTE: 6″ IPS display, same resolution, but a blistering 2300 nits brightness

The AIO 6 Max brings a noticeably larger screen with nearly double the brightness, giving riders much better visibility under harsh sunlight—especially crucial for adventure riders or those without a tinted windscreen. Whether you’re navigating twisty backroads or following track sessions, the improved readability is a game-changer.

Mounting and Portability: Ride Multiple Bikes? This One’s for You

• AIO-5 Lite: Fixed mount, typically installed on a single motorcycle

• AIO-6 Max/LTE: Quick-release modular design, also compatible with BMW Nav mounts, universal brackets

This makes the AIO 6 Max/LTE incredibly versatile. You can easily transfer it between multiple bikes—or even move it to your car for road trips. This modular flexibility makes it an excellent choice for riders who own more than one motorcycle or want a system that adapts to different riding setups. It’s designed to be more than a bike gadget; it’s a fully portable smart riding hub.

Camera Capabilities: Dashcam System Reimagined

• AIO-5 Lite: Dual 1080p dashcams (front and rear), 30 fps (included in kit).

• AIO-6 Max/LTE: Dual 1080p dashcams (front and rear), 60 fps recording (optional).

The AIO 5 Lite offers an integrated dashcam system that’s ready to go—ideal for riders who want simple, always-on recording for safety and incident documentation. In contrast, the AIO 6 Max takes a modular approach: you can add external front and rear dashcams (sold separately), giving you more flexibility to choose higher-quality or specialized camera modules. However, this also means a higher overall cost and more installation complexity.

⚠ Note: AIO-5 cameras are not compatible with AIO-6 models.

GPS & 4G/LTE Connectivity

• AIO-5 Lite: External GPS module; no 4G/LTE, no live tracking or remote video.

• AIO-6 Max: Built-in GPS, but lacks a SIM card slot—so no real-time tracking or cloud features

• AIO-6 LTE: Built-in GPS with 4G LTE SIM slot; supports real-time tracking, SOS alerts, live video streaming, over-the-air firmware updates, and geofencing

The AIO 6 Max improves convenience with integrated GPS and better location accuracy. However, for those who want remote location sharing, emergency SOS, or live streaming, you’ll need to step up to the AIO 6 LTE, which adds full 4G LTE support and 2 GB of preloaded data.

Hardware & Software: Faster, Smarter, More Storage

• AIO-5 Lite: CG OS (older version), 4 GB RAM, 32 GB storage (expandable to 256 GB via microSD)

• AIO-6 Max/LTE: CG OS 2, Dual-Core A53 processor, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB storage (expandable to 256 GB via microSD)

The hardware improvements in the AIO 6 Max and LTE versions go beyond just numbers. The newer Dual-Core A53 processor ensures snappier performance, allowing you to run multiple apps like GPS navigation, music, and tire pressure monitoring with minimal lag.

The 4 GB of RAM offers smoother multitasking, while the 32 GB of built-in storage—expandable via microSD—gives you ample room video recordings, and device data. Wi-Fi (5GHz) and Bluetooth 5.0 also boosts connectivity options, making wireless accessories and data syncing faster and more reliable.

Combined with the refined CG OS 2, the user experience is noticeably more fluid and future-ready. The user interface has also been redesigned to enhance usability, now featuring multiple dash panels and streamlined navigation of  device screens—making it easier to access key features on the go.

 

Before we talk durability, it’s worth noting how the AIO-6’s improved hardware contributes to a more rugged, all-weather setup—especially when combined with its superior build quality.

Durability: Built to Withstand Anything

• AIO-5 Lite: IP67

• AIO 6 Max/LTE: IP69K waterproof rating (screen), IP68 for accessories.

• Both models are highly durable, but the AIO-6 Max adds better weatherproofing—ideal for long-haul or year-round riders.

AIO-6 Max vs AIO-6 LTE: What If You Want Everything?

The AIO-6 Max is the right choice for most riders—but if you want real-time tracking, SOS accident alerts, or remote video access, you might consider:

• AIO-6 LTE: Adds 4G SIM slot, real-time GPS tracking, live video streaming, weather updates, OTA firmware upgrades, and SOS alerts

• Comes with 2 GB preloaded data (180 days validity)

This makes the LTE model ideal for solo adventurers, motorcycle rental owners, or anyone who wants peace of mind while riding.

Wrapping Up: Which One Should You Buy?

• Get the AIO-5 Lite if you want an affordable, plug-and-play solution with basic GPS and included cameras—and you only ride one bike.

• Choose the AIO-6 Max if you want a more flexible, future-proof setup with a bigger and brighter display, modular components, camera support, versatile mounting options, and more powerful hardware.

• Go for the AIO-6 LTE if you like the AIO-6 Max but want to add real-time tracking, remote alerts, and cloud-connected features for your riding environment.

Final Verdict

The Chigee AIO-6 isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a platform. Whether you’re commuting daily, touring internationally, or capturing cinematic ride footage, the AIO-6 Max gives you more control, better visibility, and next-gen expandability.

If you need more than just a smart dashboard, the AIO-6 LTE stands out with its always-connected 4G features—ideal for riders who prioritize security, tracking, and remote monitoring. For serious riders looking to future-proof their cockpit, the Chigee AIO-6 platform is the smart move forward.
