Posting this so it is more likely to be seen by new users.

Lighting Coupler Orders are being taken at:

https://bluepilot.dev/lightning-coupler-order-page/.

I just got the shipping notification, so I am hoping to have them some time next week (this depends on customs and DHL). Expect 1-2 week lead time once they are in my hands as I need to test and build all of the reservations The order form was down due to an issue with the platform we are using, but it is back up now.
Any chance there is one in that order that hasn't been spoken for yet? I just placed an order, but wasn't sure if I would get in on the most resent buy of 50

The original batch of 50 have all been sold. The incoming order is considerably larger, so I don't think I will run out soon.

Tracking shows the current batch is in Atlanta waiting for customs clearance.

My comma arrived today. Should I wait until the coupler arrives to reduce the chance of any issues or just go with it and get it installed and tested? '25 Lariat

You can install it if you want. You will get startup errors, but you can unplug the long USB C cable from the harness box if it bothers you. Just decide where you want to put the coupler when it comes in if you do install it.

A post on reddit came to my email today from the comma sub. They were asking about a broken screen after getting it in the mail. You might want to at least plug it into power to make sure yours isn't defective. Their support is typically quick to deny defects, especially if you have had it for a bit.

Well, seems that there is a longer process to import this batch due to it exceeding a value limit. The delivery expectation (to me) is still the 10th, so hopefully there is no delay due to customs.

If I install it without the coupler I can just clear the errors on startup? Once I get the coupler those errors will stop showing or will I need to use forescan to clear any DTCs and then it'll startup without issue? I've ran all the wires and powered the comma to confirm no issues with screen. If I can just clear the errors on startup and then not have to do anything once I get the coupler, I'll give it a run

Most people can just wait 60 seconds before they put the truck in gear, and the errors will clear. A few people have had their AC stop working without the coupler. Only way to know is if you try.

does the A/C issue resolve itself if you disconnect the comma and/or use the coupler?

If you have the AC issue, it will resolve with the coupler. It usually sticks around until cleared otherwise.

Some have reported issues on the 24 specifically when comma power is in use with the coupler. But no one has responded back after its (assumed) resolved.

up and running. Errors but no A/C issue. Now I need to install new software to get it working?

Sorry to keep posting but I got Blue Pilot 4.0 installed. Took it out for a calibration ride and test. Seems to be working but not the best accuracy. It seemed to way over correct on turns and then force me to take over. Maybe this is a settings issue? Are there any settings that I should change for better performance?

Change your driving model and it should straighten most of it out.

@mmarchand - Looks like we have the same weekend project going on!! I just spent a bunch of time getting the Q4 harness hooked up. Ouch that was tight.. and I have large hands (unlike POTUS!!!).

@UncleTony and @Ajzride - is there a good reference to all of the "common" setting changes that are recommended? I tried to follow Branden Flasch's video of his install, but couldn't catch all of the settings. It also looked like experimental mode as grayed out and couldn't be toggled on.

Thanks again for of the great work/help on this!
