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.

## Need Help?

If your Bluetooth device is not showing up in the list, make sure:

- It is already paired with your phone.
- It is currently powered on and within range.
