Autostart RaceCapture App

Automate starting Race Capture Dashboard App on a Tablet

You can have your Android or Fire Tablet automatically start up the Race Capture app and display the Dashboard whenever it boots up. The Fire Tablet (and many other tablets) will automatically boot up when power is applied. This will allow you to have your Race Capture dash automatically come up whenever you turn your car on without having to do anything. You can then use remote buttons to control the Race Capture dash to make it a seamless dash experience.
