Hi.
I bough my k2 in November, but only last month I was able to mount it on the bike!
BUT
Although it seems to boot, I'm not able to connect to it.
I've got a 2017 BMW R1200GS.
I've got it working through a FuzeBlock FZ-1 (power from battery, and switched power from bike's accessory fuse). Switched power is working properly with ignition on, and it goes off half a minute later when ignition is turned off, as per bike.
When I turn ignition on the unit boots and I can see it's wifi.
I can connect to it without an issue; I get IP address, so all seems good (first tries I had the phone's 3G data still connected, but as per other's experiences, I turned the Data off).
Nevertheless, the app says it's not connected to the K2, so I can't do a thing.
I'm using the 128G Sandisk supplied at the same time as the K2; I've already saved the new firmware bin files in it, but the DVR doesn't load 'em.
I need some help...
Regards,
PS: Phone is running Android 9 (it's a Xiaomi Mi A2, so a pure Android phone - no manufacturer's junk)
Thank you sharing such solid experience. It is helpful.
OK, I've got all working now!
So, to recap:
* K2 wifi broadcasting
* app didn't connect to K2 claiming phone's network not connected
* Android 9 phone in either airplane mode with WIFI on or as usual (both cases, connected to K2's wifi network)
* 128G SD card
Steps done from the laptop - could be done from the phone (require to open a browser after connecting to the k2's network)
0) Power up the unit :) either on the bike or on the bench (follow INNOVV's instructions)
1) check if k2 is responding correctly
http://192.168.1.254/?custom=1&cmd=3012Showed firmware version 39
http://192.168.1.254/Didn't show any folder; there should be a "INNOVV_K2" folder
2) correctly format SD card
http://192.168.1.254/?custom=1&cmd=3010&par=1wait until you can :) . If you have direct view to the unit, you can control the red "photo" light blinking
3) upgrade the firmware
a) Go to INNOVV's site, menu support, k2
b) follow instructions and download the latest and greatest K2 firmware (mine was v57)
c) open the following address, and using the first 2 buttons, select the k2.bin file you've just downloaded (first button), and upload it (second button)
http://192.168.1.254/4) reboot the unit
Just power down the unit's power wait a few seconds and power it up again.
Read the upgrade process in the support pages, and compare to your light sequence (red should blink for a while)
5) connect app to K2
a) turn airplane on
b) turn wifi on
c) turn location on (no need to have a gps lock)
d) connect to K2's wifi network
e) call application
It worked for me, was based on others partial trials and experiments, so here it goes for anyone that may be in the same boat.
Regards
This morning I had some improvements (but I still can't make the app connect to the K2).
I used my laptop to connect to the k2's wifi, and was able - through the http commands documented somewhere else in the forum - to verify:
* firmware version is 39
* SD Card was not correctly formatted (the folder "INNOVV K2" was not created); I was able to send the format command and now it is recognized:
Although the phone connects to it, the app still doesn't recognize the wifi network to the K2 as beeing established, but at least I believe that I can now upgrade the firmware.
As the SD card is not easily accessible, can I use the "upload files" button in the pic above to upload the "k2.bin" file of the v57 version and reboot the unit in order to upgrade it?
Thanks in advance,
