While I'm very impressed with the picture quality of the K2, the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone else's video recording with sound, sound like it's underwater?
That's exactly what mines sounds like. While accelerating it picks up the engine revs, exhaust and gear changes, but as soon as you reach cruising speed, it sounds like it's underwater (like yours did towards the end of your clip). Oh well, at least I know I haven't got a faulty one then.
I had been in touch with them regarding the sound quality, it appears it is more a problem with the small/cheap microphone fitted within the DVR and the fact the unit is trying to remain waterproof, I get exactly the same issues as you guys and there doesn't appear to be any fix for it unfortunately.
Why not remove the current, pc board microphone, drill a hole in the case and run a pair of wires to a real microphone, or other audio source? A bit of silicone sealant would waterproof it. Besides, the case doesn't look all that waterproof; There's a channel for a gasket on the case and cover, but no gasket.
I have installed K2 under passenger seat.

Turned audio off. Without a external mic is is pretty much just annoying noise.

Understand your point on microphone and waterproof. We have been working on that.
