Automatic recording with USB power supply ?
Hi. In order to have a simple power supply connection, I would like to connect K6 dashcam to the USB plug of my BMW R1250GSA. If I do that, will the K6 turn on and begin recording automatically ? Thanks for your advices … LV

Hi Laurent,
As soon as the K6 is supplied with a power supply, it will start up and automatically start making video recordings.
What you do have to take into account is the power consumption of your K6. It is possible that the CANBUS system of your R1250GSA switches off the USB power supply if too much power is used. According to the K6 manual, the K6 requires a current of 2.5A +/- 0.5A.
If you only want to use the K6 on your motorcycle, it is better to buy the motorcycle version with the 12V-5V converter. -
Thanks a lot, Hans. You’re right, BMW instructions tells 2,4A max so it’s a little bit over limit with 2,5A needed, but I’ll try test it … Best regards and nice rides.
