I have looked at your previous posts and tried updating firmware to get speed in KPH,
but when I download the bin file to the root of SD card and power DVR on nothing happens.
After receiving all possible failures from this product, a logical question arose. - So how to buy spare parts for INNOVV K1 from you (manufacturer)? After buying the battery, it turned out that one of the cameras (rear, but installed in front due to the length of the wire) also came out of standing. - How and how much does your new camera cost instead of a defective one? - Where, how and at what price to buy safety glasses for cameras? - Where, how and at what price to buy a new power supply for the camera, because the old power supply does not hold stable voltage and current, as well as poor contact at the USB A female connector due to flat tracks? Remind everyone that You can buy battery pack from GoPro for: HD Helmet Hero, HD Hero, HD Hero 2, HD Hero 960, HD Hero Naked, HD Motorsports Hero, HD Surf Hero part numbers are: ABPAK-001, AHDBT-001, AHDBT-002
If you just put the .rar file (from download) at root, it will do nothing.
You need to unrar (winrar or 7zip maybe) the file and put the .bin in root folder. Then you restart (power off/on) and it will ask you if you need to upgrade the firmware. After it will display km/h. No need to look into the options, it seems it's hardcoded so you cannot switch between mph & kph. There is another firmware to put it back to mph.
Thanks for the feedback.. don’t know what I’m doing wrong as I tried this & put firmware update in as a .bin file on the Sd card but it’s still not doing the update.
thanks for the post... Same challenge... same solution, In kph land riding season coming to an end...Oh! Canada! Sping is just a few months away and the bike show is in January! Cheers
i have added the bin file to the root dir of the card . turned unit off and on. i am not getting the file to take, is there some trick to this. i am stuck on mph whereas i need kph.
It seems I'm the only one driving with kph, how lucky i am ! At first i put the downloaded file (.rar) on the sdcard... it didn't worked. So i formatted the SD card via the DVR function and go back to my computer with the SDcard to put the .rar file on it again, unrar the file. So i ended with .rar, a new folder (k1-r180_en_KPH_firmware) with the .bin inside. I put a copy of "k1s.bin" out (root). Then when i started on the DVR, it asked confirmation for the firmware update. When it's done, the DVR deletes the .bin file automatically. I removed everything else not used or i formatted again i don't remember.

thanks for that ill try again .
Thanks Chocolatine ... tried again following all your steps and still nothing happened ... this is so frustrating that its not working. Maybe our original firmware that came with the unit was different ? Mine is K1S_V5:R266/170516 6948 HW_V5 ... Considering I live in Australia I need this unit to record in Kph & not Mph. You would think that there would be an option in the menu to change between the two.
Have finally fixed issue. If you have V5 firmware on your unit you need to put this .bin file on the SDcard. I formatted card first, then put K1s_v5.bin file on SDcard then turned unit on and it asks you if you want to update !!! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/75qzqkw875wv0ow/AAC2HoZFD0BQJxIbbIfGGkOFa?dl=0
(looks like this firmware file was only updated 16 hours ago)
Looks like it is not useless to complain here, finally. ;)
Hi Liza, Chocolatine, please click below link to get the firmware.

ok, we have a different firmware, mine is v3.
Hope it will solve the problem for everyone that needed kph.
Hi Rock, V5 firmware above is not working. When I put .bin file on sd card and turn unit on, it asks if you want to update. click on OK and it says "update failed" .. now my unit won't record when motorbike is running. The previous V5 update I did also stuffed everything. Camera keeps rotating from normal to upside down & computer can't recognise the file format of recorded data. Please help this is very frustrating as the unit worked fine until I did this upgrade. (apart from it being in MPH)
OK i have the same error as Liza King "update failed"
Come on fix this problem and put some decent documentation on your site regarding this issue.
@Liza, Trevor, The K1 has two chips sets, that makes two versions firmware which are not compatible.
Can you try below firmware and see it is working.

If it works, you can try below one to be KPH.

Should unzip file to be bin file to update.
Rock Liu, I formatted the disk from the dvr unit and removed it from the unit and then copied the bin file from your rar file to the disk.
After restartiing with the new bin file in the root of the disk on the dvr its starts as normal....disregarding the bin file.
So I tried them both (from your post)and they do not work, the dvr unit completely disregards the bin files.
Any further suggestions?
Trev
The version I have on my unit appears to be
K1S_V5:R266/170516 6948 HW_V5
Which firmware version should be compatible with this unit? At least I can target the correct firmware to be used on my device and give you the correct feedback regarding the errors that I am getting?
Liza, Trevor, did you guys fix your problem?
this has not been fixed
the version of firmware that Rock Lui asked us to use on Oct 20 gives an ”update failed” which at least the dvr is recognising and acting on, its just not taking correctly.
the version that Rock Lui gave me two days ago is being ignored by the dvr unit.
No my unit is useless at the moment.. updated firmware doesn’t work & my current firmware doesn’t record in the correct format so you can’t view any footage
seeing as i cant seem to get it to work, i would like to return it for you to fix.
