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.

Wi-Fi Networks

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.

Pair K3Y and Vehicle

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.
