Go to the settings tab located in the app's bottom navigation, then tap on Link My Tesla.

A Tesla account is required to establish a secure connection between CONSOL3 and your Tesla vehicle. By connecting your Tesla account, MATT3R gets the necessary data from your Tesla vehicle, such as trips, vehicle speed and other relevant telemetry data. Please securely log in to your Tesla account and provide the necessary permissions. The CONSOL3 App does not record or store your Tesla credentials.

1. Open the Consol3 App:

• Ensure you are logged into the app with your account.

2. Navigate to the Settings Tab:

• Tap on the Settings tab at the bottom of the app.

3. Select Your Vehicle:

• In the Vehicles section, locate the vehicle missing the virtual key (A red dot will appear on the top-right corner of the vehicle's card in case the direct telemetry key is missing on the vehicle).
• Tap on the vehicle card to open its details page.

4. Add the Virtual Key:

• Tap on "Add your virtual key" within the vehicle details page.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to link the key to your Tesla account.

5. Verify and Confirm:

• After adding the key, verify that the Virtual Key (Direct Telemetry Key) is active by checking the Vehicle Details

Telemetry typically begins transmitting within 2 minutes. The vehicle must be awake.

To connect K3Y to CONSOL3 via Bluetooth, follow these steps:

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, if not on already.
2. In the CONSOL3 app, go to Settings > Setup My K3Y.
3. Follow the instructions on CONSOL3 to navigate to the "Select Your K3Y page".
4. Your K3Y shows up as a serial number (Uxxxxxxxx) in the list of Bluetooth devices.
5. Once paired, K3Y Setup will start automatically.

Adding a Wi-Fi connection

To ensure that K3Y transmits data effectively, it's important to set up a Wi-Fi configuration. This enables K3Y to communicate with our servers securely to transmit data.

When setting up your K3Y, you will see a list of available WiFi networks after establishing a Bluetooth connection. Select your preferred network, enter the password, and your K3Y will be connected.

If your preferred SSID isn't listed, you can manually add it. You can also add, remove, or edit WiFi credentials in the settings at any time.

After adding the WiFi connection, your K3Y will begin downloading the necessary files. If everything goes smoothly, you should see this screen. Now, you can drive with your K3Y connected to your vehicle and view the recordings later.

After logging into your Tesla account and setting up your K3Y, you need to pair the vehicle where the K3Y will be installed (or is already installed) with the device. To do this, navigate to the settings tab, tap on "Pair with Vehicle" under your K3Y, and select the car from the list that appears.

If you have encountered a special incident and are curious about what happened, CONSOL3 makes it super easy to find out. Follow these steps:

1. Find Your Trip: Locate your trip in the "Trips" list.
2. Click on the Incident Icon: Tap the incident icon to start uploading the recording.
3. Upload and Play: Once the upload is complete, you can play the clips from any of the external vehicle cameras.

Automatically Captured Incidents:

1. Honks
2. Harsh Brakes
3. Front Collision Warning
4. (FCW)Autopilot/FSD Disengagement

CONSOL3 allows you to effortlessly view recordings from your trip based on location with just a few taps. To retrieve a clip, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Trip Section: Find your trip in the "Trip" section.
2. Zoom In: Zoom in to the specific point where you want to view the recording, tap on it and hold your finger.
3. Upload Recordings: Recordings will be uploaded when K3Y is near WiFi. Once uploaded, the icon turns blue, and you can play them.

CONSOL3 retrieves your trips from two different sources:

Tesla Telemetry: When logged into your Tesla account with the Telemetry connection enabled, your car automatically sends trip data to CONSOL3.

CONSOL3 Trips: The CONSOL3 app captures trips in higher resolution than Tesla’s trip data. If your K3Y is connected to the car, your phone’s location services and Bluetooth are turned on, and the CONSOL3 app is running, CONSOL3 collects trip data automatically.

If Sentry Mode was enabled while your vehicle was parked, you can view the Sentry Clips on Consol3.

To do this:

1. Navigate to the Map tab. If the Sentry icon is enabled, a Sentry Clip is available for that trip.

2. Tap on the Sentry Clip icon to see the list of available clips.

3. Select the clip you want to view and request it.

4. Once your K3Y connects to WiFi, the clips will begin uploading.

5. When the upload is complete, the button changes to View.

6. Tap View to play the Sentry Clips from any vehicle angle.
