Superb motorbike system for brand new bikes or older bikes who want to get up to date
Want a 5 second review? Buy the Innovv, market leader, end of. Want a little bit more? Then read on ------
I have had 2 x different makes of camera and car play systems and both have been retunred ovee the past 18 months. Basiclaly they wear out and the software cannot be updated, customer service is not available, they take your money and you end up binning them.
Then I saw the Innovv systems a few months ago. Didnt take any notice, why should I, I had my car play camera system so no need to look at anything else. And as above, problems occured, quick online chat to a certain rainforest supplier and refund was on its way.
Sooooo, I had a good Google of Innovv,and was very impressed. I read the reviews, I had the FB and Insta pages, and the YT videos, and decided to purchase the N" system. Now, I wanted the N3 system BUT I have been used to a secure screen on the bike all the time, I would need to retrain my brain to remove the screen from the N3 system, my brain cannot cope with new routines and I knew, deep down that one day I would forget to remove the screen and then it would be a very difficult conversation with Mrs Keith to explain that the housekeepoing will be a little bit light as I would need to buy another new system because of my stupudity !!
Anyway, onto the N2. If you have had a bike play system before then its exactly the same set up, attatch the bar holder to the bar, tighten up (yes do get trhe extra purchase of the ram like security lock you will need it) then secure the ball joints to the bar holder, the other to the screen and thats you done. The cameras I have on the N2 are the 2K versions, the camera leads/cables have plenty of length on them, I have had to bunch up and cable tie only because on my Yamaha Fazer Geb 2 FZ1S 2006 the front camera is under my front cowl and about 10 inches of cable needed to connect and allow for freeplay to go from side to side/lock to lock. The rear camera again is under my Givi rack and plenty of cable to reach the screen connector at the front of the bike.
I have my power lead connected to my ignition live wire, so the unit comes on and off with the ignition. My preference.
Not a lot of settings to adjust in the menus, I have the GPS module but have not connected it as I do not intend to use the main screen for my speedometer or the TPMS, I will not be using this feature. I will be using the Android play for my music to my BT headset and the cameras for recordoing friont and rear, I will be using the screen as a rear view mirror, very handy and helpful to go with your lifesaver over your shoulder but is very useful on longer rides to view whats behind you, game changer.
Very very impressed with the build quality and the customer service.
I did have a little issue when setting up the camears, I set the unit up first via a USB cable and power pack in the kitchen, just to go through the menus etc. Then I connected trhe cameras up and the did not work. Rebooted the system and still the cameras did not work. Not happy at all. Quick email to Innovv customer service. Tom replied quite quickly and asked me to check the camera setting in the main menu and should be on 2k. Stupidly I had changed them to 1080P to see how the storage would change on the Micro SD card, what a plonker. The choice of cameras to purchase are 2k or 1080P, I chose the 2K cameras so they need to be on 2K in the settings - do not change this setting !!!
Other than that no issues at all. Oh yeah, get yourself a decent 256GB Micro SD card as 2K recording is very hungey on a 128GB card
Have fun, take your time routing the cables, and thats it
