Speaking of, how often do y'all encounter a harness or CAN error? Especially those that don't remove theirs. Just curious if it's expected or what.

Every time. It's expected. You need the resistor coupler to do stop the errors.

Edited to fix typo.

sorry, I meant with the coupler.

You shouldn't really see any. About 1/50 times i might get a quick error if the bootup sequence is a little wonky, but it always clears itself in a few seconds, and it's pretty rate.

Mine is never removed, I get one or the errors about every 2 weeks, made the dock worth every penny, plug and replug fixes it, just curious what could be the issue.

Check for loose USB connection?

Which BP version are you using? With the earlier BP 3.0-BP 4.0 versions I would get occasional random radar errors that required a quick slide off the dock and back on to reset. With BP 5.0 and now on 6.0-beta, those errors all but disappeared. Are you getting the orange screen "take control immediately" error while driving, or the startup errors on the instrument panel of the Lightning?

We did sell some docks with an integrated coupler, but we ran out of those. Most everyone has an external coupler.

IPMA --> Harness --> Harness box --> Long USB-C (ODB-C Cable) --> Coupler --> Short USB-C Cable --> C4 Dock --> C4.

I got everything installed but it's just sitting on the WIFi connected. Does this step take a while?

Currently 5.0, and you're absolutely right and didn't think about the radar issues in 4.0. This occurs roughly every 2 weeks, and shows as either a harness relay malfunction or CAN something another error. Occurring in both 4.0 and 5.0.

it can take 2 -3 minutes depending on wifi speed. It's best to do that step inside on a phone charger

it happens when the radar module and comma both flip at the exact same time. it's a pretty random error.

Okay, I took the unit inside and it's still sitting here at connected. It's been around 3 to 4 minutes and we have a pretty fast connection.

I feel like the couple of times I had an error like those come up while driving on 5.0 the Comma fixed itself quickly without any intervention.

Running 6.0-beta since yesterday and no errors of any type in that short time (not expecting any errors).

Like @EVO said above, maybe a loose USB or a loose pin in the Comma harness? I feel like there have been reports of both of those causing weird behaviors.
