K3Y™ for Tesla

MATT3R’s K3Y device and CONSOL3 app put Tesla drivers in control of the video footage their vehicle records while in motion—and give context to that footage through innovative AI technology.

At present, it’s a cumbersome process for Tesla owners or fleet managers to retrieve this footage themselves.

The K3Y transforms this process, recording footage from Tesla vehicles’ external cameras and making it accessible wirelessly via the CONSOL3 app. The app offers an easily accessible surround view of every trip and intelligently flags on-road events like honks, harsh braking, front collision warnings, and autopilot disengagement, with more features to come in the future. 

The K3Y order is $299 and includes the K3Y device and access to K3Y’s companion CONSOL3 app for iOS and Android.

No. K3Y purchased today includes access with no subscription required. If pricing changes in the future, it would apply to future customers, not your current unit.

Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck (all years), plus Model S and Model X from 2021 onward. Older Model S and Model X (2017 to 2020) work if the car already has Tesla’s Dashcam USB feature.

Depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may not be equipped with Dashcam or the features may not operate exactly as described.

Yes. Tesla 2026.20 turns on Encrypt Dashcam Recordings by default, and encrypted clips can only be read by the car itself, so the K3Y needs that toggle off. On the car’s touchscreen go to Controls > Safety and switch off Encrypt Dashcam Recordings. It takes about a minute and Dashcam and Sentry keep recording normally. Step-by-step guide: How to turn off dashcam encryption.

Two things to know: clips recorded while encryption was on stay encrypted, so switch it off before you plug in the K3Y, and a Tesla software update can turn the toggle back on. If the CONSOL3 app shows an encryption notice, check the toggle again.

No. The K3Y should be the only USB storage device connected to the Dashcam port. Using it alongside another USB storage device can cause recording issues or prevent the Dashcam from functioning properly.

K3Y is designed to work smart by relying less on local storage. With built-in cloud backup and AI-powered event detection, important footage is preserved without the need for excessive onboard capacity. This makes 128GB the ideal size for reliable performance while keeping your most important clips safe and accessible.

K3Y works in most countries where Tesla operates, including North America and Europe, and Australia. The only exception is China, which is not yet supported. We’re working on adding compatibility for China in the future.

No. K3Y does not require Tesla’s Premium Connectivity. It can connect through your home WiFi, mobile hotspot, or an optional LTE modem to upload and access footage.

K3Y is currently designed to work exclusively with Tesla vehicles. Support for other brands is planned for the future, and we’re exploring compatibility options to bring K3Y’s features to more drivers.

Yes. K3Y captures all exterior camera angles recorded by Tesla’s Dashcam system, including the B-pillar cameras, as long as your car supports them. This feature is currently limited to vehicles with Hardware 4 (HW4) by Tesla.

Yes. K3Y supports Sentry Mode and enables you to view your Sentry Clips on your phone wirelessly.

No. K3Y does not alter the resolution or quality of your Tesla’s Dashcam footage. All videos are stored and retrieved in their original format.

No. Using the K3Y does not void your Tesla warranty. It connects just like a standard USB drive and does not modify your vehicle’s software or hardware.
