Finally got around to inistalling the K1 in my 08' GS. Running wires and mounting was simple and clean. The only issue I have, and its huge, is that the micro USB cables (even with the secure cable guide in place) seem to have poor connections. On my system, either power, or rear camera intermittently connect. My first ride yesterday recorded the morning commute fine. The commute home recorded only the front camera. Then it went into a recording loop when I arrived home. This system needs a connection like the C5. or the C5 needs 2 cameras. Definitely wouldn't buy this system again and wouldn't recommend anyone else buying one. Since the DVR itself isn't waterproof, I built a semi-waterproof case with fans. But with the intermittent, problems not sure it was worth my time. More reviews to follow with time.
I too have this system and find it to be very unreliable. I was actually looking to see if anyone else was having issues and ran across this post. I too feel the K1 has major design flaws. I too have tried over and over with different cards, zip ties, software, batteries, etc... Still unreliable! I was cut-off by a truck today and wanted to save the video file -- the system didn't record any of my trip again! I think its time to dump this system and replace it with something else!
@Flyingarmy.. just posted this to another comment... I have my own post going as well.. this product and the company are Terrible.
-------------------------- As of this AM, Oct. 19th. I received an email response from Rock saying he would call me at 10am my time (CST- Chicago) I am writing this at 11:20am and NO call. It is obvious that this company says "we take care of products and customers." as they put on every email, is a LIE. So at this point I have a crappy camera that may work, or may not for front camera. Rear camera does not work at all. These problems have been going on since MAY. I am now out $265usd, as I cannot trust this freaking thing to work. IT IS A PIECE OF SH*T!!!!!! Frankly, I will tell any and all people I know not to buy this product. Since this company has no ability to follow through with customer service and it may or may not work with your bike. Anyone who has problems, should go to social media and make sure they do not sell a single device ever again. Even my local BMW dealer was interested in info about this product. To hell if I am going to give any info other then STAY AWAY. @Rock.. Hey great phone call.. OH wait, YOU DIDN'T CALL!!!
