I purchased a Bikermate a few days ago from Amazon.
Today, started the installation process.
Fitted it onto my BMW K1600 GTL, by placing the camera below the headlight and the recording piece in the right side pocket.
I thought I wouldn't need to connect the camera to the battery and will just be able to connect it to the USB port in the side pocket. So I connected all the cables, the device lights up (LEDs come on) and all seems OK.
However - while the device gets power, and even records video even a button is pressed - it *doesn't start auto-recording* when it is switched on. I have to manually start video recording.
EDIT: the unit doesn't seem to want to start manually recording either.
Note, the direct connection to the battery has not been made. I'm using the BMW K1600 GTL's built-in USB connection to power the device.
Is there any way I can get this to work (auto-start recording) with just the USB connection?
Anyone have any ideas on what to do next?
