I have the K1 installed on y BMW 1600GTL, over this winter my battery died. I installed a new battery but now my K1 DVR will not come on. It will come on if i hold the power button down but when it comes on the battery icon flashes. Then after a few seconds it powers down. I am sure the DVR's backup battery is dead but when i start the bike it should turn on and start charging? Any ideas?

I don't use a battery in mine, I have a timer on my vehicle that will turn the system off 1 hour after my vehicle is turned off. I have no issues with it turning on except that occasionally I have to manually turn it on myself.
I've been looking at other cameras because this one just isn't reliable anymore. It was great when I first got it but now it appears to lock up and then restart (firmware possibly?) and I can't do anything to stop that. I've grown accustomed to now hearing "GPS READY" followed by the 3 start up dings followed by "Recording started". It seems to go away after formatting the SD Card but comes back when the card is full again, almost like it can't erase the oldest file properly.
To be honest, I wouldn't recommend the K1 to anyone who wants to purchase only one camera system for their vehicle and use it for a while.
Try using it without the battery and run on the system voltage only.
