Wiring in a Vsysto dash cam to 1200GS LC

[Geoffers45]

Hi I am wanting to wire in a Vsysto dashcam in but Im a Bit freaked by the Can bus issue! I don’t have an EZcan or anything fitted. On my last bike I wired it to the battery with a line to the live wire on the horn so it would come on with the ignition.Anyone got experience of fitting one of these?

There are two fuses under the riders seat, which are ignition controlled and do not go through the canbus system. You can splice the switch control wire to the output side of one of them.
Alternatively, you can use a piggy back fuse in one, but they will not go back into the holder, so will need to be bagged and sealed with a cable tie.

It depends which Vsysto version you have.

For ALL of them you wire to a power supply (say, the bikes battery via a fuse), and SOME you also connect a yellow wire to a switched live source (I used the rear light power supply which doesn't affect the canbus).

This yellow wire switches the unit on and off with the bike.

The system with no yellow wire senses voltage difference across the battery when the bike starts and stops, and actually works very well.

(I have 3 of these systems and have used them for several years with no problems)

Sorry to bump this thread but I think it's still relevant.

Can you tell me a particular model which doesn't use a yellow accessory wire? I can't seem to find the VSYSTO system you're referring to.

Not sure on the above, but I wired mine into a Fusebox that had its own switched live wire so switched on and off with the bike.

Useful if you have other accessories (grips, spots etc.) So the yellow and red wire of the Vsysto unit both screwed into the same live terminal.

I bought my WiFi one for about £120 from AliExpress. The supplied wiring instructions is how I installed it.

Sorry, I can't at the moment, as I'm not with the bikes. But I am aware that VSYSTO changes their cameras quite often, as I've looked to buy a model I knew was good, only to find it discontinued............

You could get one of these then
Wire it up to your camera then use the aux socket on the RHS of the cockpit, which is switched. I did that on my 1st GS 1200 LC before I got a Hexezecan

Pardon our interruption...

I fitted a VSYSTO to both my 1250GSA and my Tmax.

Great kit.

Just find a permanent feed and a switched feed, as said above they are available under the seat if you probe around.

Don’t use two switched feeds, one must be a permanent feed otherwise you may damage the CPU by hot booting it at every startup, it needs to stay awake then power down/reboot under control from a switched feed.
