If someone is using B/R Skills Chips, do he needs skillwire system to use them effectively?

Yes, active skills require skillwires. Knowledge and language softs can get by with just a chipjack.

Yes. They're an active skill, so they need skillwires. |

Yep, in the grand sense of splitting skills between "those that are regularly useful while shadowrunning" and those that aren't, then basing a piece of cyberware on that split, you wind up with the silliness of Computers and Bikes B/R needing skillwires while Dancing and Sculpting do not.
I personally would have preferred it if Skillwires were only needed for Active Skills linked to Physical Attributes or Reaction myself. Would have made a little more sense in the grand scheme of things. I'd also allow Vehicle ActiveSofts to be used with a VCR without Skillwires (or maybe just by using a Router) since the implant is already hijacking your physical movements to control the vehicle anyway. |
