The thermal management is more about being able to run bigger more complex models, but I'm not sure if they will ever be able to do that. When the car / AC is off, I still wouldn't leave the C4 on the windshield. I live in Houston and I always pull my device off the windshield when the car is parked in the sun. I designed a quick-release dock to make taking the device out super quick. The C3X mount is now open source and you can build it yourself, or I can make one for you. The C4 dock will go open source after i sell 50 of them and recoup my development cost.

interesting... so would you upgrade to the C4 if you had the C3X?

I would be willing for the thermal management alone, but losing the ability to check the speed of cars I approach before I get to them made it a hard pass. One of my favorite features.

Same here. Our C4 is being used only for development inside. We only put it in the car for testing what we wrote.

Looks like I posted right after your question. I have both and prefer my C3X for the bigger screen.

awesome thank you, I guess I'll stick with my C3X for now... guess that saves me some money and wait time.

Do you have a link for the open source dock you were talking about? I assume it's 3D printable? I have that dongle for the Canbus errors... how does that integrate into the dock?

The dongle you have won't integrate into the dock. We ordered a handful of ones that would, but they are almost gone now, I think we only have 3 left. Just put the one you have somewhere in the USB path between the harness box and the dock. Typically I advise people to run the long USB cable to the rear view mirror cover, put the dongle between the long usb and a short one that runs to the dock.

Make sure you print this out of ASA or ABS, PETG will not hold up on the windshield.

great, thanks for that advice, between ABS and ASA, which is better? and should we do any custom wall strength % because it will be sitting in the sun the whole time?

edit, also, for my Lightning, which degree offset model should I use for the glass base?

ASA is easier to print than ABS.

4 walls, 15% infill.

I also have about 10 of the female to female 90 degree couplers that have to come from aliexpress. If you DM me your address i can throw one in the mail so you don't have to wait for it to come from China.

Question about the new comma 4 kit. Did Comma take into account the CAN bus "echos" and build a suppressor into the kit? Or does it still need the extra part?

 

[galstaf]

Also they are gung ho on the C4 to the point you cannot buy a 3x anymore. Are there any plans to port the car ahead speed data to their tiny screen c4. I know it may be a bit cluttered, but it would be nice to have.

No they did not. You need the BluePilot device still

you wouldn’t be able to see it. But it may happen eventually. Not a priority though.

I mean you could possibly just have it be fullscreen size, it's not like you need the screen to see where the cars are on the road

you can still buy a Konik A1M if you want a device with a full size screen
