There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

When I put the Innovv system on my RT I made a front bracket and used the L bracket that came with the system on the rear. DVD is mounted under the seat and the GPS antenna is forward under the tupperware. Started off wanting to put the GPS antenna under the seat also but it was slow in finding the satellites.

My front camera I was thinking of putting it near where you did. F3 is a little different so offset to the left or right. I will have to look at using the licence plate bolt for the rear. Had not considered that. I have decided to put the DVR under the pillion seat. Was also thinking about putting the gps there as well. But from your experience I think I may put it inside the top case lid.
Thanks

Always tether anything mounted that's expensive. Simple lanyard shown here. With that elaborate system (very nice BTW) almost everything is self tethered by their own wiring.

Thought I'd have something to contribute since I have a F3-S, but my mount is based off my Madstad windshield base plate. I use a go Pro flat sticky helmet mount, along with a slide in RAM ball. For a demonstrative pic, I used my TackForm mount/cell phone, but I also have a Go Pro knock off camera/attachment. But your system appears much more complex.

I have an F3s... i used tape to stick everything on. I stuck a front camera right on the front nose piece above the headlights. The rear I got tired of trying to run the cables right to get it down by the license plate, so I mounted it down by the passenger handle in an odd spot.. I stuck the DVR unit in my frunk since the power hookup and battery are all up there. That did take drilling a hole to get cables in with the frunk closed, but it all works fine. I left off the GPS and mic and stuff I do t care about right now. Might add those if I ever care. Mainly just like having the video like a dashcam. I didn’t want the unit visible even though it has a screen, since I can view it on my phone already anyways over WiFi. Don’t need more things on my handlebars.

Some pictures of the install. It took longer than it should have. Life got in the way a couple times. Had a problem with a cross thread panel screw and stripped out the molded in thread insert. But it seems to be working fine.

It ended well.

Sample videos from the cameras. One from the front and another from the rear. Covering the same ride. There is nothing exciting. Just a ride around the block to see how it worked. First time uploading videos to youtube. So I am just learning.

The video looks alright to me. Of course I could have gotten better video quality with a more expensive camera. The point is I wanted an always on camera. It seems that interesting things happen when the good camera is not on.

Billy, a word of caution. Use a good quality micro SD card. I forgot when I "temporarily" swapped out a good SanDisk card for a ONN so I could review. After I had a run in with a large racoon night before last I wanted to review what had happened during the event. Only the left front tire was left on the pavement, quite exciting to say the least. Nothing readable on the card, not even a directory structure.
I knew better and I did it anyway. Normally I will swap out every week and do a quick look at the card just to make sure its functional, then put it back on line to use again.
BTW, racoon didn't make it. Spyder came thru it fine.

Thanks for the warning. I have experienced a SD card going bad before. I have a batch of Sandisk 32G cards I got cheap from Amazon a couple years ago. Actually they were so cheap. I though they may be counterfeit. So I tested one of them right away, when recieved them. Just in case. They where fine. As it turns out, with this camera, the 32G works OK but because of the amount of data. A 64G card would be better.
