ODB2 is optional for F150. It is only there to keep the device powered between drives. The IPMA provides power when the truck is started. If you want power between drives, you can use an ODB2 port splitter.

Just out of curiosity... Is it the ODB or the IPMA connection that messes up the bus and causes all the start up errors on the lightning?

You don't really see through the C4 though. The screen is super tiny.

I've volunteered multiple time to help design and 3D print a relocation bracket for the FitCamX. No one has taken me up on it yet.

I'd be interested in a relocation bracket for the FitCamX/C3x as well. I was planning to move the FitCamX to one side and use some VSB tape to secure it so that I could move the C3x up higher, but a nice bracket would be preferable for sure.

Haven't done the VSB tape yet because I'm waiting for warmer weather for the curing of the VSB.

Looks like you have 3 people interested in a FitCamX side mount:

I would be very interested in a FitCamX relocation bracket to properly position the C4. I don't know how I missed your previous offers. Hopefully, others will speak up as well.

I have a very ugly tinkercad monstrosity I threw together from other peoples brackets they have uploaded. I just put together something on MakerWorld with proper credit given to others, just waiting for it get uploaded/approved. I can come back and share the link when it's up, but I will try to attach the STL here.

This is a pretty simple relocation bracket, but I'm not sure how strong it would be. My thoughts were to make a combo dock that would hold the Comma and the FitCamX.

Fully agree, I think someone who actually knows what they're doing could push out a much better model in no time. I like to think my version will inspire/enrage others into action! I printed it in PPA-CF, so should hold up to heat, but we will see how/when it fails.

PPA CF is more than sufficient.

my fitcamx already showed up, so I’ll get started tonight.

Looking forward to an improved design!

I uploaded mine finally to makerworld just because at this point. Makerworld bracket print

Having felt how light the fitcamx is, I can say this is a perfectly valid solution for the C4. I'm going to focus on a solution for the C3X, and then I'll work on a combo dock for the C4.


Do you guys think the C4 would hang too low if it was mounted to the bottom of the FCX?

Looks good! My only notes would be to avoid the 6 (visible) sharp 90 degree interior corners and to radius them. They can act as stress concentrators especially with vibration and UV embrittlement. This can cause fatigue cracking and failure of the part over time.

IPMA

wait...I read a fair amount of this thread and others regarding comma ai and such...I must have missed this part: can the OBD be used to power comma by itself (between drives, during drives) and it won't cause any errors?
