How does automatic vehicle switching via Bluetooth work?

Auto-Switch automatically recognizes which vehicle you are using by associating a Bluetooth device (car audio or BLE tag) with each vehicle. You enable it in Account > App settings and tracking > Trip tracking > Advanced Configuration. The feature is in BETA.

Setup steps:

  1. Go to Account > App settings and tracking > Trip tracking > Advanced Configuration
  2. Enable "Auto-Switch" for each vehicle
  3. Associate a Bluetooth device (car audio or BLE tag) with each vehicle
  4. When Magica detects a vehicle's Bluetooth device, it automatically switches to that vehicle
ℹ️The switch happens automatically when you start a trip — Magica recognizes the trip and the vehicle in use. Remember that this feature is in BETA and may have issues. If you encounter any problems, contact support.

How do I edit a vehicle's data?
