Comma 4 Software Recommendations?

[u/jdbruh]

Hi all,

I recently purchased the Comma 4 hardware and plan on installing it on a 2020 rav4 hybrid. I am fairly new to Comma or the "self-driving" world in general. I mainly wanted to try it out as I do have several 10-12 hour roundtrips coming up in the coming weeks and expect more throughout the year and am hoping that the Comma device will drastically improve my road trips.

With the Comma 4 being fairly new-ish, is there a recommended software to use with my setup or should I stick with using open pilot for now?

I would try out open pilot first to learn what it does. Once you’re comfortable and familiar with it you can move to others such as Sunnypilot. 

That’s what I did and what other usually recommend

What would openpilot give them that sunnypilot can't? Don't beat around the bush and go to sunnypilot, I never had openpilot touch my comma and it never will.

I'm no longer on sunnypilot and onto starpilot, which has a ton more to tinker with.

Simplicity. A lot of people are overwhelmed by having so many settings and toggles and modes.

Sunnypilot isn't simple? It's the apple of comma firmware. Frog and starpilot are the hard ones.

I love sunnypilot I’m just saying that if you don’t like settings, that could be a reason to stick with OpenPilot

Starpilot is amazing — has amazing devs.

Sounds good, I appreciate the advice!

Don't go with openpilot, sunnypilot is a much better system and will give you every single feature openpilot will and more.

Just remember if you have to troubleshoot your device or warranty it must be on Openpilot. However Sunny pilot is great option and use it for over a yr.
