what a pity that the weather isn’t good today here… 😪 … but the weekend is near… (nearly)… 😁 Concerning zoom functions I have a question: how exactly does the support for external bluetooth input devices work? Many bikers use a bluetooth audio device like Sena or Cardo. The map zoom can be configured to work with the volume keys. This works when I use the volume keys of the smartphone. But it doesn’t work when I use the volume turning knob from the Sena device with which I also can control the sound volume. Is there any chance to make it feasible? ---

[Map zoom with volume keys](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-zoom-with-volume-keys/3181) utilizes _internally_ the phone’s volume buttons. > [@Tom](#): > > But it doesn’t work when I use the volume turning knob from the Sena device with which I also can control the sound volume. That is different, it’s mapping of _external_ bluetooth volume keys with zoom. Now there is support of map zoom with _directional_ keys of external devices. ---
