Hi I am just installing the K5 to my Tiger 800, I previously had a K1 which did not have the yellow wire. I had my K1 wired into an aftermarket fuseblock that I use for all my accessories, this is connected to switched power. I want to wire the K5 into the same fuseblock, will it work without the yellow wire being connnected since the block is already connected to switched power? or if I put black and red into block will I still need to attached the yellow?
Cheers
Thanks Frosite. I have a lot of things connect to my battery so try to add what I can to my fuse block. My fuse block has a couple of slots that are constant power. If I was to connect it to one of these then I am assuming it would work the same as being connected directly to the battery.
Hi Becstas
will it work without the yellow wire being connnectedNo. The yellow wire needs to be connected to switched power, so the K5 knows when to start and when to shut down. The red and black needs to be connected to a permanent power source (means the battery)., because the K5 needs power after ignition is switched off to do a graceful shutdown. Otherwise the last video and/or the file system of the sd card can get corrupted.
