Innovv K7 Issue
Hi, I bought an Innovv K7 in September last year and installed it onto my BMW. I have never been able to get the system to work reliably ever since. After speaking to Innovv and trying different system setting and SD cards I was wondering if anyone on here had a similar issue?
I don’t have the microphone or the remote control connected normally as I just want the system to record. Due to the issues I have been having I connected the remote control hoping it would provide some insight.
The problem is when the bike is stationary with the ignition on the green LED on the remote is on solid and I can view both cameras via the app and everything looks good. When I start the bike and the engine is running after 10-30 seconds the green light changes to a slow flash (around once ever 2 seconds). According to Innovv this means a protected video is being recorded but when I access the files there is no protected video folder, I have the parking function turned off as well as the accelerometer and the G-sensor set at its lowest setting.
Once I turn the bike off and restart the Innovv system the green light comes back on solid again and normal recording resumes. I have tested the power, ignition and earth connections and also bridged the ignition connection to rule out a wiring problem everything has tested OK.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hi, I feel ur pain mate. I’ve been trying for 2 years now to get mine working (Z900rs), I’ve replaced every component & rewired it twice. I’ve also spent a fortune on every variation of sd cards, following the correct procedure every time and yet it will not work. I have the same issues as yourself in that on initial switch on it works as it should but within seconds of pulling away the green light starts to flash slowly. There are no files recorded or saved.
If you find an answer, pass it on…

Hi Aaron,
It is possible that the K7 wiring is picking up an interference signal from the engine wiring somewhere. This can happen if wiring runs parallel to engine wiring that carries more power when the engine is running. For example, wiring for the alternator, ignition, etc.
It is also possible that if you have twisted the K7 wiring into a loop, it can act as an antenna and receive an interference signal from your engine.
What is the battery voltage when the engine is idling? Is it too low? Or is there a large peak/dip in the voltage during starting?
Perhaps you are able to power the K7 from a separate battery while leaving the K7 on your motorcycle. If the problem does not occur, you need to investigate the power supply to find the cause.
