Camera + Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen4)

[Aushiker]

I have an Innovv K5 front and rear camera system, which has come off my motorcycle, and I was interested in seeing if it was possible to run it with a Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen4) (smart system) as fitted to my forthcoming Riese and Muller Supercharger GT Rohloff. I am assuming a 2023 build.

It comes with a converter with the following specifications:

Voltage Input: 9-18V
ACC Input: 9-18V
Voltage Output: 5.3V +/- 0.2V
Max current: 2A

Is there an auxiliary output from the Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen4) that could possibly power the camera? Has anyone tried doing this or similar? I have seen some discussion of lights at the EMTB forums, which is not encouraging, but hey, if you do not ask …

Yes, you may need the dealer to plug the bike in to enable the accessory port. But it is 12v and I think 1.5A?

This thread has more info and the video shows an overview of the ports(in German)

Thank you. This looks like a good solution. I will talk to the LBS about activating it.

Thinking further about the camera choice, the Innova K5 has a lot of wiring plus GPS and is a bit bulky, so I might sell it anyway and look at fitting the Innova K6, which is claimed to be a bike/e-bike specific model.
