Wow, there is so much information in this thread, hard to keep up with all the information and best practices.

Is there just a purchasing list for everything I'd need to have the best chance of this installing error free? Comma plus best cables? Resistor? anything else that would make the install go smoothest?

Is there a good youtube video on the proper install and testing?

Thanks guys and sorry for asking such simple questions!

All you need is the comma 3x with q4 harness and one of the couplers. It can be ordered here https://bluepilot.dev/lightning-coupler-order-page/.

Thanks guys! I think i'm ready to take the jump. I like blue cruise, i have the 1.4 but would love it on surface roads. Is comma better on the highway than bluecruise too?

Honestly, that is going to depend on the driver. The functionality of comma compared to bluecruise is night and day, especially since you dont have to be on mapped roads for it to work.

I still have have 2+ years on the BC trial that came with the truck and I never plan on using it again.

Yes it's better. It works on all the highways. Blu cruise dues not.

I find Comma to have less ping pong than Blue cruise.

Only has 21-23 F150 listed as options for the harness. It does say Q4. Will that work with my 2025 Lightning?

Lighting is not officially supported because of the need for the resistor box. But the Q4 harness in a 2025 is confirmed to work.

Comma and resistor ordered! Looking at the sliding mount now as well. What's the difference between the standard mount and 8 degree mount? I also saw the possibility of mounting it just above the screen and not on the windshield?

I swapped in the adapter @UncleTony made and removed my Extended Harness solution. My extended harness had been having some errors so I also used a new USB cable (and even ran a second one that is sitting there in case I get issues with the current USB cable). No error codes. Thank you for this clean elegant solution!
