Does anyone have a suggestion to have the dashcam start automatically each time you start the car?

I thought it starts automatically since model year 2023+ vehicles.

I have a Uk 220D estate and although I have the option to set loop recordings it appears to not always record. Bit frustrating as you might forget to start recording each time you get in the car. Still experimenting with it to see if I can get it working. Otherwise it’s an excellent car

I found the settings to have it start automatically.

Can you share your findings regarding the settings to have the dashcam automatically start on each car start?

I have the following in my truck and works great in parking and driving mode; it automatically detects the mode. I switch it totally off when I park in my garage at home.

Dashcam: BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus with T-Mobile SIM Card, Blackvue Cloud Paid Service
Dashcam Backup Batteries: PowerCell 8 Dash Cam Battery Pack, Cellink NEO Extended Battery Pack

I opened the online owners manual in the car and search dashcam, and it had a link that brought me to the location. I would have to do it again to be able to describe it.

Were you logged into your profile when you enabled automatic loop recording? Mine doesn't automatically start until I log in.

Follow these steps to enable automatic loop recording.

Tap home and then go to Apps.

In Apps go to the Dashcam App


Tap the gear icon in Loop Recording


Enable Automatic Loop Recording


The next time you start the car and login with the profile used while enabling loop recording it will automatically start. You may get a message initially saying it was unable to start the camera. That is due to the profile not being logged in yet. Then your profile logs in either through facial recognition or by typing your pin and loop recording should auto start. It will display an annoying message each time about obeying the law when it comes to recording and I believe each time you cross a state line it will repeat that warning but I haven't crossed a state line so I can't confirm that.
