4. Setup and Installation
The KAWA D6 3K Dash Cam is designed for easy, hidden installation to maintain a clean dashboard and unobstructed view.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Clean the area on your windshield behind the rearview mirror where you intend to mount the dash cam. Ensure it is free of dust and grease.
- Apply Anti-static Film: Apply the anti-static film to the cleaned area on the windshield. This helps in easy removal and repositioning if needed.
- Attach Heat-resistant Adhesive Paper: Secure the heat-resistant adhesive paper onto the anti-static film.
- Mount the Dash Cam: Attach the dash cam to the adhesive paper. The mount and dash cam can be separated, allowing for 360° angle adjustment.
- Route the Power Cable: Connect the Type-C power cord to the dash cam. Carefully route the 3.5-meter power cable along the edge of your windshield and dashboard to the car charger. The split-type car charger allows you to power the dash cam using either a USB port or the car charger without interfering with other in-car devices.
- Insert Micro SD Card: Insert the provided 32GB Micro SD card into the designated slot on the dash cam.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Initial Setup and App Connection
- Format SD Card: Press the button on the dash cam 3 times to format the SD card.
- Download KAWA AUTO App: Download and open the KAWA AUTO app on your smartphone.
- Add Device: In the app, add the D6 dash cam.
- Connect to WiFi: Find the D6 WiFi network (e.g., kawa_d63k_5f62) in your phone's WiFi settings, enter the initial password, and connect.
- Authorize Connection: Press the power button on the dash cam once to authorize the connection to the app.
Steps to connect your dash cam to the KAWA AUTO app
5.2. Smart Voice Control
The D6 3K Dash Cam supports hands-free operation through voice commands. This allows you to control essential functions without taking your hands off the wheel. Supported languages include English, French, Russian, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese.
Example commands:
- "Take photo" - Captures a still image.
- "Record video" - Starts recording a video.
Voice control for hands-free operation
5.3. 180° Video Flip
The dash cam features a 180° video flip function. This ensures that regardless of how the camera is mounted (e.g., upright on the windshield or inverted on the dashboard), the recorded video will always be displayed in the correct, upright orientation. This setting can be adjusted via the mobile app.
180° Video Flip ensures correct video orientation
5.4. Loop Recording
The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the Micro SD card is full, the oldest video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures that recording never stops, and you always have the most recent footage available.
Loop recording overwrites old files to ensure continuous recording
5.5. Emergency Recording (G-Sensor)
Equipped with a G-Sensor, the dash cam automatically detects sudden impacts or collisions. In such events, it will automatically start recording and lock the video file, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency videos are stored in a separate folder to protect vital evidence.
G-Sensor activates emergency recording during impacts
5.6. 24/7 Parking Monitoring
When your vehicle is parked, the dash cam can automatically switch to parking mode to monitor and protect it. It detects unusual motion or impacts and initiates recording to capture potential incidents or break-ins.
Note: Parking monitoring requires an additional hardwire kit (PT01) for continuous power supply when the vehicle is off. This kit is not included and must be purchased separately.
24/7 Parking Monitoring for vehicle security
5.7. NightEagle™ Engine (Color Night Vision)
The NightEagle™ Engine is KAWA's proprietary night vision processing technology. It enhances critical details, such as license plates, in low-light conditions, providing clearer nighttime footage for safer driving and improved evidence capture.

5.8. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Technology
WDR technology enables the dash cam to capture balanced images in challenging lighting conditions, including bright sunlight and low-light environments. It helps to reveal important details that might otherwise be lost in overly bright or dark areas of the footage, making your videos clearer and more useful.
WDR technology balances exposure for clear footage
5.9. Super Capacitor
The D6 3K Dash Cam utilizes a super capacitor instead of a traditional lithium-ion battery. This design offers superior resistance to extreme temperatures (Working Temp: -4°F (-20°C) ~ 158°F (70°C); Storage Temp: -22°F (-30°C) ~ 176°F (80°C)), enhancing durability, fire and explosion resistance, and overall safety. It also contributes to a longer device lifespan and is more environmentally friendly.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam lens and body. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- SD Card Care: Regularly format the Micro SD card (at least once a month) to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Use a Class 10 or higher speed card for reliable recording.
- Temperature: Operate and store the dash cam within the specified temperature ranges to prevent damage to the super capacitor and other components.
- Firmware Updates: Check the KAWA AUTO app periodically for firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and improvements.
7. Troubleshooting
- Q: The dash cam is not turning on.
- A: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the dash cam and the car's power source (USB port or car charger). Verify that the car's power outlet is functioning.
- Q: The dash cam is not recording.
- A: Check if the Micro SD card is inserted correctly and is not full. Format the SD card via the app or by pressing the button 3 times. Ensure the SD card is Class 10 or higher.
- Q: I cannot connect to the dash cam via WiFi/app.
- A: Ensure the dash cam is powered on. Restart both your phone's WiFi and the dash cam. Follow the connection steps in section 5.1 carefully. The WiFi transmission distance is limited; ensure your phone is within 1.5 meters of the dash cam for stable connection.
- Q: The video quality is poor at night.
- A: Ensure the lens is clean. The NightEagle™ Engine and WDR technology are designed to optimize night vision, but extreme low light conditions may still affect clarity. Check for any obstructions on the windshield.
- Q: The dash cam is overheating.
- A: The super capacitor design allows for operation in high temperatures. However, if you notice excessive heat, ensure the dash cam is not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods when parked, or that ventilation is not blocked.
8. User Tips
- For continuous 24/7 parking monitoring, a separate hardwire kit (PT01) is required to provide power to the dash cam when the vehicle's ignition is off.
- The dash cam can be powered directly from a USB port in your car, provided it supplies sufficient power (5V 1.5A).
- If you need to replace the windshield mount, ensure you obtain an official KAWA replacement to guarantee proper fit and function.
