Comma 3X OpenPilot & SunnyPilot Install - 2024 Kia EV6 GT

[@georgerodriguez8209]

I just got my comma 3x and installed it at night time with the help of this video. I'd estimate this took me about 45min or so. The masking tape trick was a beautiful idea, definitely the fastest way to do this "right". I was able to easily gauge the visible bottom of my mirror using the tape. I live in southern cali so im hoping i can use it by tomorrow if i leave it outside for 24hrs.

This is the best video I ever seen explaining everything about open pilot comma device Good job man 👍👍👍

[@phamster18]

agree... the best presentation and explaination and edit as well.. content and edit top notch

[@stevevlahos1]

Thanks for the detailed review. I pulled the trigger and bought one. 😊. I’m off next week and I will install it then.

[@phamster18]

excellent info.. thank you for the how to mount, concept and why you needed to change from O.G. placement

[@NarayanBabu]

The explanation about removing the panel is the key. It's very delicate yet nuanced, listen and follow the interactions exactly to avoid risking broken panel locks

[@campbellmstuart]

Love that thorough explainer on the install! With the multi color drawings on top of the video I felt like I was watching NFL post play commentary 😂

Thank you for making this video!!!!! It made installing and setting up my device possible. The instructions that came with the device were not very good. Seeing it on video made it so much better

[@vicwiseman6038]

I just installed mine last week. Eyeballed the mount and it seams to work fine. I didn’t know this about my Prius but you can actually move the mirror higher as it has a two point swivel which meant that even though I technically mounted the mount slightly too high, I was able to adjust the mirror where I could still see the entire camera. I guess I got lucky. I commute 20k miles a year and 144 miles per day. For $1350, the Comma 3X with a harness is a sweet deal. Much better than TSS 2.0. I mostly use the standard mode on the highway but I do switch to the experimental mode as I approach my exit as it does a better job of slowing down and recognizing red lights and stop 🛑. Than being said, it’s still too slow to get going at lights. Also, the RJ35 cable is no more. They integrated it into one cable which runs from the harness to the OBD2 port.

[@PiduguSundeep]

Holy moly, mine arrived this afternoon and you uploaded around the same time wow i love this. Thanks for the video.

[@GregMeece]

Super helpful video - and I've been using OpenPilot/SunnyPilot for 3+ years now on my Toyota Prius Prime. I found your channel/video because we just leased a Hyundai Ioniq 5 which is very similar to your vehicle (Hyundai owns about 1/3 of Kia). I'm waiting just a few weeks to hopefully catch Comma's yearly Black Friday sale and I'll be installing it on the Ioniq. I'm with you - I can't hardly drive a vehicle without it now as it really does make driving chill. One of our deciding factors for the Ioniq was its support by Comma (my wife insisted!). Especially helpful: your caution about routing the ODB cable *behind* the side curtain airbags. Thank for for this important note/caution!

[@RocketIndian49]

Wow really appreciate this video. Probably one of the best comprehensive videos for helping to install the Open Pilot! Thank You!

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@GTiz4Ever]

Very interesting. Awaiting the driving vids for sure. Thanks for posting.

[@Yayayoyoyo]

Great openpilot seems working very well

[@AdamSPARTAN76]

Awesome!!!! With your tutorial I am up and running!!!!

[@robertoalpizar7549]

Thanks for the guide!

[@velocity7180c]

Great video...Thankyou.

[@devtekve1396]

Thanks for sharing! sunnylink is still on alpha stages but I think it's worth mentioning that one feature I've used a lot is the backup settings :D specially when I am testing new stuff or needing to validate against stock OP. That feature is free to use for everyone btw. (I am a developer at sunnypilot)

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

Nice. I haven’t used backup settings yet. Good call.

[@aerialbugsmasher]

Nice job on the video. I just bought one and hope to have it fully installed by next week on my GT. I was wondering though, HDA2/ACC disconnects when hitting the GT mode button. What does sunnypilot do in this case? Disengage? Keep going? Are there any issues when switching among the other drive modes eco/normal/sport? (I do it often) I also drive in single pedal mode always. How does it handle this?

[@marcuspierson2855]

I hadnt heard of comma connect before so that is cool to know. Does that work with sunnypilot too?

[@vicwiseman6038]

Great video!

[@andrewmcmillan8110]

Can you do a video of you, or should I say the car, driving for an extended amount of time? I swear I’m happy with my car until you upload a new video! Bringing up an old topic, have you done any 0-60 runs with the new wheel and tire setup? Changes in range? I’m wanting to pick up some 19s but wanting feedback before I decide on what I’m going with. Thanks!

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

Yeah. I’ll do one soon.

[@bladeslicemaster5390]

Question: Can I install Sunnypilot initially without installing and then uninstalling openpilot first?

[@TMacDo243]

Hey great video! Thanks, but one question. After installing SP do you have to re-calibrate?

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@TMacDo243 after any install of a new/different version you recalibrate.

[@nyrubin]

I got the comma 3x to work on the Tucson phev 2022, had to run it using the 2024 model car, but it’s a hit or miss on the stopping for lights and stop signs, sometimes it stops on lights but then tries to continue, other times it comes to a full stop lol

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@nyrubin yeah end to end longitudinal has a long ways to go to be reliable. :-)

[@hankzhu1828]

Thanks for posting the video!! I have concerns with extreme hot temperatures, I live in Arizona where the temperature can get 100 degrees easily, do I need to take it off every time I park my car outside to prevent it being melt or overheating? Does it still functional under super hot weather? Thanks!

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@hankzhu1828 I never take mine down. When its really hot, I get a thermal warning when I start the car, but then the internal fans cool it down pretty quickly. I’m in Tampa.

[@hankzhu1828]

[@xboxice2005]

Humm i have a Nissan Leaf and i use the obd2 port for leaf spy will a double port obd2 work with both at the same time anyone know?

[@elephantmoney]

Thanks for the vid. Just got mine today. Does yours use long control? I have a Honda Civic and am hoping to get the stop sign and red light features on it but I'm guessing I would need OP long control for that

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@elephantmoney Yes… you’d need to enable experimental mode and openpilot long control for that stuff. So far I am liking how FrogPilot handles stop signs and red lights. I just put out a video of driving with FrogPilot if you haven’t seen that.

[@elephantmoney]

@@EVERYTHINGcpo ok perfect I'll check it out 👍

[@davidkeen9446]

Thank you. Does the comma3 unit interfere with your line of vision? Seems it would create a blind spot when you are steering.

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@davidkeen9446 no. I thought it would but it turns out it doesn’t bother me at all.

[@davidkeen9446]

@@EVERYTHINGcpo Thanks. The ADAS in my truck (Rivian) does a good job of keeping the truck centered in the lane. However, when I pass 18 wheel trucks, sometimes they tend to drift too close to the centerline and I disengage the ADAS to move further to the left. Does the comma3 unit move left of center for you when a car on your right gets too close, or does it just stay in the center of the lane?

[@markshellard]

Great video but I've been wondering for so long, I have an Ioniq 6 SEL. How much better is the Comma device than our built in adaptive cruise and lane centering with lane change assistance using HDA II ?

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@markshellard way better and improving daily. But even if you just had the same level of capability, the ability to be completely hands off the steering wheel is worth it! I drove the my Golf R the other day and while it does fairly well with lane following, it felt really odd to have to make sure I wiggle the steering wheel periodically.

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@markshellard oh and another thing that you’ll notice. HDA is only available in our cars on designated highways (uses the built in maps I assume). With the C3X auto lane changes can happen on any road and at any speed.

[@jonsmith6331]

great vid

[@bassamzidan86]

Great video appreciate ❤

[@ridgeracr19]

Hello fellow GT/C3X owner! Have you experienced the FCW light come on consistently when sunnypilot boots up? Also somewhat related I have noticed when in auto regen mode with sunnypilot (not engaged though) it'll randomly go to max regen when I take my foot off the accelerator

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@ridgeracr19 interesting questions. I have seen the FCW light come on periodically, but it goes away when the system is online. I don’t recall it always doing this, but I have noticed it lately. Not sure if there was a change in an update, or if I just wasn’t noticing it before. I have actually not done much experimenting with auto regen and C3X. I typically leave it on regen level 2. With or without C3X I just preferred the behavior of the car in level 2 regen (and of course longitudinal controls give the auto-stopping behavior that auto-regen would normally provide).

[@NarayanBabu]

What's the purpose of drawing the RJ45 all the way from the top to the fusebox and leaving it out on the OBD adapter? I am not able understand it's use? What's the OBD adapter originally plugged into?

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@NarayanBabu the rj45 is plugged into the OBD adapter. That’s what the adapter is for. I thought I showed that in the very beginning. Sorry I didn’t make it clear.

[@NarayanBabu]

@@EVERYTHINGcpo oh, the obd adapter seems like a standalone component? Not connected to the car internals. What I was wondering was, is that rj45 - OBD connection optional? As it requires routing the wire and I didn’t the other end of the routing doing anything apart from exposing the obd port

[@EVERYTHINGcpo]

@@NarayanBabu it’s used to get information from the car. It’s definitely mandatory

[@NarayanBabu]

@@EVERYTHINGcpo My comma kit doesn't have an OBD adapter in the package. Is it rerouting the existing OBD port via this RJ45? I didn't see you doing that in the video? Also, by "mandatory" I meant, can you test your comma without making with connection? (Eventually we will need the OBD port for diagnostics, I get that)

[@NarayanBabu]

Finally understood what you meant. Wired everything up and got it working. Thanks a lot ❤❤

[@ryshask]

I'm thinking of replacing my rear view mirror with a display so I can lift it out of the way... I hate the huge blind spot
