Hawkbox –– I'm happy to report that my Innovv K1 has had a 100% reliability record for about one year now. The solution for me was to install a Rowe PDM60 power distribution module, which has the necessary 10-second power-on delay. The PDM60 does not supply power to the K1 until the voltage is completely stabilized after starting the motorcycle.
The Innovv 12VDC to 5VDC converter was supposed to provide that 10-second delay. It did not. I upgraded to the "improved" version of this Innovv DC-DC converter (with added yellow trigger wire) – still no delay. Then I installed the Innovv PowerHub One distribution module, which is supposed to have its own 10-second startup delay (added in series to the Innovv DC-DC Converter, this should have given me a 20-second start-up delay). What I got was anywhere from 2 to 6 seconds of total start-up delay. The K1 crashes became less frequent (by about 40-50%) so I knew I was on the right track.
I believe the Innovv PowerHub One and DC-DC Converter delays are very erratic and insufficient, because they might be "calculated" by capacitor discharge (I'm speculating here). Either way, they are useless. The Rowe PDM60 is expensive (nearly $200) but it has a real clock. This fixed my problem entirely. Yes, I should have posted the results on this site – sorry ...
Chasing this problem took me over a year. It was finally resolved well after the K1 was no longer under warranty. I spent countless hours disassembling the GoldWing (not the easiest bike to take apart!) and basically a blank check to get this system to work.
A few days ago I visited the Long Beach Motorcycle Show and discovered that Innovv now has US representation (Street Guardian in Carson City, Nevada). They had a booth at the show and I was told the K1 was nothing more than a re-badged product from a failed Chinese company. Rock is still the owner of Innovv and the K2 is supposed to work properly. At least Innovv customers won't have to deal with language barriers and shipping stuff halfway across the world.
The K2 aluminum case and screw-secured connectors are certainly more confidence-inspiring. However, until I have absolute certainty that a "real", crystal-clocked 10-second turn-on delay is built into the K2 (which seems like a simple matter, considering all the other functions built into the unit) I will hold off on installing a K2 in my other bike (Indian Scout).
Street Guardian also said they are developing a motorcycle version of their automobile 2-camera system, which has slightly smaller cameras. Not sure how that will play against the competing K2, but at least the 2-camera advantage is becoming more mainstream.
We were guinea pigs. We deserve a carrot.
