# Get started

## **Prerequisite**

Before starting DriveKit Vehicle integration, make sure that you have[ initialized DriveKit](https://docs.drivequant.com/get-started-drivekit/android), especially if you have [disable the SDK auto-initialization](/get-started-drivekit/android/advanced-configurations.md#manually-initialize-the-sdk). 

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you use DriveKit Vehicle without having initialized DriveKit, an exception will be generated and the SDK will not work in your application.
{% endhint %}

## **Integration**

### **Get module from repository**

To add Vehicle module to your app, add the following line to your dependencies in your application `build.gradle` file:

```gradle
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.drivequant.drivekit:drivekit-vehicle:$drivekit_version'
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Replace `$drivekit_version` with the DriveKit version you are using in your app
{% endhint %}

## Initialization

If you have [disabled the SDK auto-initialization](/get-started-drivekit/android/advanced-configurations.md#manually-initialize-the-sdk), an initialization phase is required to use the functions offered by the Vehicle component. To initialize Vehicle component in your app, you must call the initialization method in `onCreate` method of your application class.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="DriveKitVehicle" %}

```kotlin
fun initialize()
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### **TripAnalysis configuration overload**

The configuration of the Vehicle component and its vehicles can overload the auto start configuration of the TripAnalysis component. To do this, call this method after the Vehicle module initialization:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="DriveKitTripAnalysis" %}

```kotlin
fun setVehiclesConfigTakeover(vehiclesConfigTakeOver: Boolean)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Example**:** In the TripAnalysis component, the `beaconRequired` configuration is `false`. If the SDK only has beacon vehicles and if this method is called; the `beaconRequired` configuration of the TripAnalysis is automatically set to `true`.
