You can configure specific Bluetooth devices (such as your vehicle’s hands-free system) to automatically trigger the start and end of a driving journey in the app. This is useful if you want the app to begin recording only when you connect to a particular Bluetooth device, like your car.

**Note** : The On Bluetooth option is available only with the Android app.

## Step-by-Step Instructions

1. \*\*Ensure Recording Mode is Set to “On Bluetooth”.\*\*The “Allowed Bluetooth Devices” setting is only available when the recording mode is set to **On Bluetooth**.If this setting is grayed out, you need to switch the recording mode first.[See how to change the recording mode](https://community.mycartracks.com/t/how-to-switch-recording-mode-android/312)
2. **Open the App Menu** Tap the three dots **(⋮)** in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. **Go to Settings** From the dropdown, select **Settings**.
4. **Navigate to Automatic Recording** In the Settings menu, find and tap on **Automatic recording**.
5. **Tap on Allowed Bluetooth Devices** Once you have the recording mode set to **On Bluetooth** , this option will be enabled. Tap **Allowed Bluetooth Devices** to view a list of paired Bluetooth devices.
6. **Select Your Preferred Devices** Choose the Bluetooth devices you want to allow. The app will then automatically start recording when it connects to any of these selected devices, and stop recording when it disconnects.
