That works until it does not: a long idle, a stop-start system or a cold morning can all look like a parked car, and the camera either changes mode while you are still driving or stays awake long after you have left. The HK6-A takes a third wire from a fuse that is only live with the ignition on, so the camera gets a direct answer instead of an inference. The trade-off is honest: you tap two fuses instead of one, which is more work at install time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTop Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe features you paid for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid Parking Recording and Cut-off Voltage on the A149 Pro need this kit to function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParked cover that starts on time:\u003c\/strong\u003e ACC sensing tells the camera the engine has stopped instead of leaving it to read a voltage dip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery you can still start on:\u003c\/strong\u003e four cut-off levels end the draw before the battery is flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage on the footage:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Bluetooth broadcast writes the battery reading onto the video, so you know whether your setting is right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCars, utes and trucks:\u003c\/strong\u003e the 12V to 24V range covers both system voltages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Installs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind the cabin fuse box and identify one constant fuse and one switched (ACC) fuse with a circuit tester, checking with the ignition off, then on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit an add-a-circuit fuse tap of the correct blade size to each, keeping the original fuse in the lower slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarth the black wire to a bare metal bolt on the chassis, not to a painted panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoute the USB-C lead up the A-pillar and along the headlining, tucked behind the trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the cut-off level, then confirm the camera powers up with the ignition and enters parking mode when you switch off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTools: a trim removal tool, a circuit tester and a spanner for the earth bolt.
