Lock Mobile Device to Vehicle (Mounted Devices)

Have you mounted a mobile device (Tablet or Smartphone) for the Samsara Driver App within one of your vehicles?

You can now ensure that every driver who signs in on that device is automatically associated with that vehicle using the Lock Device to Vehicle feature.

If you later move the device and need to change the vehicle associated with the device, follow the Unlock a Device-Vehicle Pairing instructions.
