4. Aratohu Whakauru

He mea nui te tāutanga tika mō te mahi tino pai. Mena kāore koe i te tino mōhio ki tētahi o ngā mahi, me rapu āwhina ngaio.

1. Kimihia Tō Pouaka Fuse: The location and type of your vehicle's fuse box can vary. Refer to your car's owner's manual for specific instructions.
2. Identify Battery & ACC Fuses: Use a multimeter to identify a constant power fuse (Battery) and an accessory power fuse (ACC). The constant power fuse should show 12V/24V with the engine off, while the ACC fuse should show 0V with the engine off and 12V/24V with the engine on.
3. Remove Selected Fuses: Carefully remove the identified Battery and ACC fuses using a fuse puller.
4. Crimp Add-A-Fuse Kit: Crimp the appropriate add-a-fuse kit to the red (Battery+) and yellow (ACC) wires of the hardwire cable.
5. Connect Fuse Tap: Insert the metal strands of the hardwire cable into the metal tube of the fuse tap, then crimp it tightly. Insert the original fuses into the fuse taps.
6. Install Fuse Taps: Insert the fuse taps into the previously identified fuse slots in the fuse box.
7. Install Ground Wire: Select a metal screw near the fuse box, loosen it, insert the black (Ground) wire's metal terminal under the screw, and tighten securely.
8. Connect Hardwire Cable to Dashcam: Connect the HK6 hardwire cable's Type-C plug into the power port on the top of the dashcam's GPS mount. Ensure it is connected to the GPS Type-C port only.
9. Test the Dashcam: Start the vehicle to power on the dashcam. Enter the dashcam settings menu and enable Parking Mode. The parking mode icon should appear on the screen.
10. Huna Waea: Follow the recommended wiring shown in the diagram below and use the trim removal tool to hide the hardwire cable along the vehicle's interior.

5. Hoahoa Waea

The HK6 Hardwire Cable features three main wires for connection:

• Red Wire (Battery+): Connects to a constant fuse slot (always-on power).
• Yellow Wire (ACC): Connects to an ACC fuse slot (switched power, on when ignition is on).
• Waea Pango (Whenua): Connects to a metal ground point on the vehicle chassis.

6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

6.1. Aratau Waka

The HK6 Hardwire Cable supports Hybrid Parking Mode for the A329S Series and A119M Pro, automatically switching between normal parking recording and Low-Power Impact Detection mode based on your configured "Cut-off Voltage" and "Cut-off Time" settings.

6.3. Battery Discharge Prevention & Voltage Tapahi-tapahia

The HK6 Hardwire Cable provides continuous power to your dashcam in parking mode until your car battery voltage drops to the configured threshold. It offers 4 voltage cut-off options to prevent battery discharge. When the vehicle's battery voltage reaches the selected threshold, the HK6 stops supplying power to the dashcam.

7. Tiaki

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HK6 Hardwire Kit, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Tirotiro Hononga: Periodically check all wiring connections (fuse taps, ground wire, Type-C plug) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• Whakaha Uepu: Ensure cables remain tucked away and are not exposed to excessive heat, sharp edges, or moving parts that could cause damage.
• Whakahōu Firmware: Regularly check the VIOFO website for firmware updates for your compatible dashcam, as these may include improvements for hardwire kit functionality.

8. Te Raru

If you encounter issues with your HK6 Hardwire Kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Verify that the red (Battery+) wire is connected to a constant power fuse.
  • Ensure the black (Ground) wire is securely connected to a clean metal chassis point.
  • Check the fuse taps and fuses for proper installation and integrity.
  • Confirm that Parking Mode is enabled in your dashcam's settings.
• Battery Discharge Warning/Dashcam Shuts Off Prematurely:
  • Whakaritea te voltage cut-off setting on the HK6 to a higher threshold if your vehicle battery is older or prone to discharge.
  • Ensure the vehicle battery is in good condition.
• Parking Mode Not Switching Seamlessly:
  • Verify that the yellow (ACC) wire is connected to a switched power fuse that activates and deactivates with the ignition.
  • Check dashcam settings for correct parking mode configuration.
• No Automatic Voltage Whakaatu:
  • Ensure the HK6 is properly powered and connected.
  • Check dashcam settings for Bluetooth and voltage display options.
