Comma AI self driver assistant

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?

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.

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!

some great info for you

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!

8 degree mount is for trucks, that is the one you need. Standard is for cars and small SUVs.

I made a screen mount and sent it out for testing and the results were not great. The control was poor becasue of how low the device was.. It also broke when hitting a railroad crossing. I could resdesign it for enforcement to prevent the breakage, but the poor control would remain. The best practice is to mount it right under the mirror using the windshield based mount.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like the slide mount it is.
