Chigee CGRC CAN Wonder Wheel Control for BMW Models
£73.99
The Chigee CGRC CAN BMW Wonder Wheel Control Module lets you use your BMW’s existing Wonder Wheel to navigate your Chigee display. It plugs in directly via the DWA or RDC module for a seamless ride-ready integration. Choose between 4-pin, 6-pin or 8-pin connectors, depending on your BMW model. Available for BMW GS/GSA-Series, C/F/S/R/K-Series and the R1300GS.
Take cockpit integration to the next level with the Chigee CGRC CAN BMW Wonder Wheel Control Module. This clever interface allows you to control your Chigee display using your bike’s original BMW Wonder Wheel, keeping your hands safely on the bars and your setup clean.
The CGRC CAN connects via your bike’s DWA or RDC plug, depending on your model. Once fitted, your Wonder Wheel becomes your display controller, letting you switch menus, change views and adjust settings without an extra remote.
For those, who’ve always wondered what RDC and DWA actually really mean, here’s a little German lesson for you: RDC stands for “Reifendruckkontrolle”, means Tyre Pressure Control (or Tire, if you’re not around from these parts), and DWA stands for “Diebstahlwarnanlage”, which means Theft Alarm System.
Setting up / Installation
Setting up the Chigee CGRC CAN BMW Wonder Wheel Control is straightforward.
You only need to connect the module to one of your bike’s existing interfaces:
Connection Options:
- 4-Pin Port (RDC Module): usually handles tyre pressure monitoring.
- 6-Pin and 8-Pin Ports (DWA Modules): used for the anti-theft alarm system.
Chigee’s guides provide general recommendations, but they are for reference only. If, after checking your bike, you find that connecting via the DWA or RDC module offers easier access or a tidier setup, simply choose the connector that best suits your bike’s fitment. Or, just get in touch and check with us!

Which Chigee Control Module Do You Need?
| Product | Main Function | Connection Type | Typical Installation Point | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CGRC CAN (4-pin / 6-pin / 8-pin) | Enables control of your Chigee AIO display using your BMW Wonder Wheel | Connects to the DWA (alarm) or RDC (tyre pressure) module | Under seat or rear side panel, depending on model | Choose pin type based on your bike: • 4-pin = GS / GSA • 8-pin = C, F, S, R, K Series • 6-pin = R 1300 GS & R 1300 GSA |
| CGRC LIN (3-pin) | Reads and transfers native BMW data such as speed, gear, and indicator status to the Chigee display | Connects to BMW’s 3-pin Navigation Interface | Requires direct insertion into the 3-pin BMW navigation interface | Often used together with a CGRC CAN or Remote Pro for full integration. Using this module will disable the BMW nav prep |
| CG Wireless Remote Control Pro | Chigee-designed wireless remote for controlling your AIO-5 display | Bluetooth connection (no wiring) | Mounted near the handlebars | Ideal if your BMW doesn’t have a Wonder Wheel or if you prefer a separate controller |
The moto-mate quick tip
If your BMW already has a Wonder Wheel, start with the CGRC CAN.
If you want live bike data displayed on your Chigee system, add the CGRC LIN.
If you ride a model without a Wonder Wheel, choose the Remote Pro for full control.
Compatibility notes:
- For RT and K Series with mechanical instruments (2011–2021 K1600 models, 2020 R1250 RT, 2016–2017 R1200 RT):
The CGRC CAN allows simultaneous control, but only within the display’s Secondary Settings Interface. If you are fine with that, happy days! If not, hop over to Chigee’s Wireless Remote Control Pro, that should be what you’d be after. - For RT and K Series with TFT instruments (2021–2023 R1250 RT and 2022–2023 K1600/K1600B):
Simultaneous control occurs across all interfaces of your BMW instrument cluster as well as the Chigee display, which is semi-ideal. Chigee therefore recommends using the CGRC PRO Remote instead for full compatibility. - For the BMW models S1000RR, M1000RR, S1000RRM 2018 and R1200RT:
Please choose the 4-pin version to install with your RDC. - For Liquid Cooled BMW R1250/1200 bikes with TPMS (RDC) use the 4-pin module.
- For BMW K Series, F Series and S Series with the DWA module (Alarm) use the 8-pin module.
- For BMW R1300GS and R1300GSA use the 6-pin module and insert it into the DWA module (A263*1B). If you prefer to keep the BMW Navigator and don’t want to connect the Chigee CGRC LIN (Linking, which will disable the BMW nav prep!) to the 3-pin navigation interface, this 6-Pin option will be the ideal choice for you.
The Wonderwheel Control Unit is perfect for riders who use the Chigee AIO display, prefer a factory-style integration and want to make the most of their existing BMW controls without adding more buttons or wiring.
