Having already purchased a C3 pro and being very impressed with the ease of installation and use, I decided, as I have 2 bikes, to go for the C6 pro. Delivery time to here in the UK was 10 days, which is acceptable I think but seems a long time when you can't wait to get your hands on new kit!
Packaging was the same high standard that had presented with the C3. Everything that should be in the box was there. Installing the unit itself is very straight forward. Once the unit is mounted, its then a matter of safely routing the various cables for the front and rear cameras, the power supply and the remote control if required, all being very well identified with obvious labelling. I decided to power my C6 by tapping into the switched live feed to the rear light as this enables the unit to be switched on and off with the ignition. Depending on which motorcycle you own, I suspect for some the most difficult part of the install will be routing the cableing discreetly.
Once fitted, then comes to the setup. Turning the ignition on and you are greeted with the AOCI logo followed by a process of steps to pair your mobile phone to enable the use of either Android Auto or Apple Carplay. This is the only area I had a problem, my phone ( Pixel 8)was clearly paired but there seemed to be a problem with Android Auto being recognised and confirmed. After a fair bit of head scratching, a subsequent uninstall/re install of AA and a reset of the c6 to factory settings got me over this problem and from then on everything has behaved as it should.
In my opinion, for the price you pay( and sometimes with discount codes) the C6 is a great option offering safety features via the front and rear cameras( excellent picture quality and aways on recording if required), music on the go, navigation, GPS, integrates with an intercom also.
Could it be improved? I think a quick release mount should really be offered as an upgrade/optional extra to allow you to remove the C6, especially if you leave the bike for any length of time. And possibly the remote control being wireless would be better.
Final thoughts. It beats Quadlock etc hands down! I'm much happier with my phone in my pocket. Very nice, bright clear screen easy to use with gloves on, only occasionally have I had to touch more than once. And you don't need to be a bike mechanic to fit it.
I have the Aoocci BX and it is an excellent piece of kit, to make it perfect you need to use it in conjunction with a ThunderBox, this way you can easily attach it to the bike and the device will switch off with the ignition.
The machine looks great and feels good quality. People say the screen is small but for me its pretty much spot on size, i dont want a huge device sitting on my bike. Cameras look good and the TPMS seems accurate. I am yet to test the BSD but it seems OK, easy to instal and looks functional (wasnt really why i bought it anyway).
There could be a couple of improvements, the length of cable from the device to the control box could do with being a little longer, 12-18 inches would do it. The camera resolution could be better (2k is pretty much minimum for decent image quality) but this would obviously add to the price. I am sure the 1080p will do a good enough job in most circumstances, remember these are not action cameras but are designed to provide some levels of defence in the event of an accident etc.
Overall very happy with the product.
I am very pleased with my purchase.
The only backdraw is that I wanted to use it with my old rugged samsung galaxy x-cover 4 but that did not work since it has Android 9 as an operating system.
However with my new phone it works immaculate together with android auto and Where we Go.
I now purchased an optional usb cable for power supply.
Until now I used the under bottom plate hidden usb C port.
For the money, this device gives the most value out there what I have found. Check out my video on youtube for the install and review!
So, I've been using Aoocci BX (without the BSD) for a week now. Let's start with the good.
The screen size is good and it works really nice under sunlight. I wouldn't mind an inch more but it gets the job done right and that's what is all about.
You can make phonecalls! Yes! And listen to music! Obviously these are not thing that matter to you when you are on your motorcycle, but you can do them.
Build quality is excellent. Sturdy construction and it gives the feel that this thing will never fall of your bike.
It's fast and responsive. I was a bit afraid that the UI was going to be sluggish but that's not the case. It reacts pretty fast and without any problems at all.
And now the bad. The bad are all software issues so I hope they make an update to correct all these stuff.
You can only reverse the rear camera. If you install the front camera upside down, you cannot reverse it. BUT in the rear camera, even when you reverse it, it only looks reversed in the live view. It records upside down! Come on guys! That's just a software issue the can be solved easily if you want.
Lastly the damn power cable. You have 3 wire you have to connect. One to the positive pole of your battery, one to the negative and one to the fuse box. If you have a fuse box that's not near the battery, good luck. I had to install the power with the USB cable because of that and now I have a cable running outside the bikes body. You can solve this issue yourself, if you have it easy to work with a soldering iron.
To sum it up, is it worth it? Yes! If Aoocci works on the small things I mentioned above, it would be a great solution to have for your navigational needs. But I really want the problem with the cameras to be solved. Until then it's a 3.5/5 for me
