Promising early results.
Rode to and from work today with DVR behind (but not under) seat, sun shade Velcro'd to DVR, GPS antenna connected, power via USB.
DVR did not shut down on morning ride. That, I expected.
On the way home, I rode around town for an hour or so to see what happened. It was at or a little over 100°F/38°C the entire time, only brief stops in a little shade. No highway travel until the last few minutes of the trip.
DVR not only stayed on, it recorded the whole time. The only video clips that were corrupted were the last pair, being recorded when I shut down the bike at home. That, I did not expect!
Seems we've narrowed the problem to something about the power cube.
Next effort: use power cube, except connect yellow wire ("ACC" sense wire) to battery + terminal so DVR always gets power.
