Tysm. It worked. (Well not this one, both the comma cables, 4 other ones I tried, but 2 of the usb-c 3.2 gen 2 I had with a coupler worked!)

So can you sumarize where you are?

Fully working with no startup errors?

IS this your current wiring?

Q4 Harness --> Harness Box --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 --> Uncle Tony's Coupler --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 --> Comma3x

Q4 Harness --> Harness Box --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 --> Uncle Tony's Coupler --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 --> Comma3x

** have tried this with two seperate Q4 harnesses, 2 harness boxes, and then:

- Q4 Harness --> Harness Box --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 [cable a] --> Uncle Tony's Coupler --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 [cable b] --> Comma3x

- Q4 Harness --> Harness Box --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 [cable a] --> included comma usb female -female connector --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 [cable b] --> Comma3x

- Q4 Harness --> Harness Box --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 [cable c] --> Uncle Tony's Coupler --> Aftermarket USBC 3.2g2 [cable d] --> Comma3x

- Q4 Harness --> Harness Box --> Thunderbolt 4 [cable T1] --> Uncle Tony's Coupler --> Thunderbolt 4 [cable T2] --> Comma3x

- Q4 Harness --> Harness Box --> Thunderbolt 4 [cable T1] --> included comma usb female -female connector --> Thunderbolt 4 [cable T2] --> Comma3x --this set up i got like 5 minutes down the road and then the errors all kicked on, it was the only one that tricked me into thinking it worked.


***cables a, b, c, d, e etc are all USB C gen 3.2g2;

The only thing I can think is that compared to the video, the outside of the material containing the wiring that I plug the Q4 harness into is silver, not black, although it does have the same ridges.

Also, when the comma is unplugged, sometimes the AC will only blow unchilled air

you have got to slow down, stop trying combinations. Do one thing at a time and tell us what happens. I know you might be trying not to bug us but you are actually making it harder to help you.

Q4 harness —> harness box —> cable a —> C3X

Q4 harness —> harness box —> cable b —> C3X

we need to find two good cables before we can worry about couplers.

let us know if either of those turn on and drive around with no errors. I know those cables are probably too short to reach the windshield, just set the comma in your lap. We don’t care about driving with OpenPilot, we care about finding the bad cabling component.

I’ve been sitting on the comma trying to find time to install it, but got around to installing it today and I’m getting stuck on unavailable.

Apologizes, i thought the pictures attached.

Additional Notes: I have tried it under OpenPilot and BluePilot and get the same error.

Are you getting dashcam mode? Or an error?

Noted, apologies.

I have tried exactly what you asked.

Q4 harness (1) —> harness box 1 —> cable a —> C3X
Q4 harness (1) —> harness box 1 —> cable b —> C3X
Q4 harness (1) —> harness box 1 —> cable —> C3X

Q4 harness (2) —> harness box 2 —> cable a —> C3X
Q4 harness (2) —> harness box 2 —> cable b —> C3X
Q4 harness (2) —> harness box 2 —> cable c —> C3X

all still had the same error.

is it possible I’m plugging it in to the wrong place? I did the same plug as was in the video.
Pictures for reference.

You are plugged in correctly, the black port (2nd from bottom) on the IPMA. I am blown away that you have two harnessess and multiple cables and can't solve the issue. It is possible you have a C3X with a bad USB port, it has happened once before.

If your have plenty of limit on your credit card, I would just order a new C3X and see if the issue is sovled. If it is do a return on the bad one, they have a pretty easy 30 day return policy (just cost $10 in shipping, it's worth $10 not to deal with the warranty department). If you don't want to order a second one for testing, then we can try to find someone close to you that you could connect theirs to your truck (and yours in their truck).

Are you sure your spare cables are USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ? Do you have a link for them?
