Summary:
-
Both DC converters are functioning as expected. No issues detected with the DC converters.
-
The extension cable is operating correctly.
-
The firmware is working as intended.
-
The dash cam is performing perfectly.
The failure is isolated to an internal short circuit in the DVR connection cable. Seems like factory defect.
Unfortunately I can’t fix it by myself due cable’s proprietary form factor. 😢

Hence the intermittent failure behavior – the defect appeared/disappeared based on cable bending

The issue has recurred. Further consultation with an electronics expert is required, as my expertise has been exhausted. Omg, i really tired.
Seems like USBC connector has bad soldering quality.
I will back tommorow after full invstigation

I found the problem—it was the extension cable! Just connect the dash cam directly to the DC converter without the extension cable, and now everything works as expected. It seems the service that installed the DVR made the cable too short, causing an improper connection.
Thank you all for your support and help!

I disassembled the dash cam and coated both circuit boards with lacquer to prevent issues in case water gets inside. Strange why is not pre made from the factory.

Could you show/share where you mounted the dash cam on your bike?

Check the cable directly at the point where it connects to the dash cam. Observe the recorder’s behavior during this process. Carefully bend the cable up and down near the connector — it’s possible that it has been damaged over time due to vibrations during operation
-
First, check the dash cam connection cable.
Next, check the AC/DC adapter voltage after switching off the ignition.
I’ve currently passed 4,500 km with my K6 and haven’t had any issues at all after replacing the cable.

Can you ship directly from the UK via Royal Mail? It should take about a couple of weeks. The seller hasn’t responded to my request for a new cable yet

Hi Hans,
I will contact seller tomorrow.

Should DC converter disable ACC (1) and VCC (2) lines after 25 seconds to 0.00 volts? Or only disable ACC line (1)?
