So good to see this project keeping an older car updated so it doesn’t have to be unnecessarily replaced to have the same features a newer car does.

This is why I discarded the idea of buying a Leaf and went right for the (2013) Volt. The leaf couldn't get me to my Mom's house. The volt battery easily covers my daily commute and gets hybrid-class fuel economy when on gas. I would love to upgrade to something like this!

Thanks for the video. Just bought kit for my 2019 Bolt. Any chance you can do a step by step OPGM software install video?

Having had an EUV aith super cruise and now one with a Comma ai i could never go back to a standard car without some form of auto pilot. Great video!

You continue to impress me with your diy projects. This install is so cool! You rock!

I love OpenPilot! I have it in my 2020 sonata limited and can’t live without it! It saves so much stress

This was educational for those wanting after market add ons for their Chevy Bolt. This was appreciated. Should have been sponsored

Nice job installing Comma 3 et al. A big well done from Australia!

The ability to install and upgrade the user convenience features like lane keep, head unit (wifi car play/android auto, etc.) lets a car stay in use so much longer. I love my Comma 3 in my 40KWH LEAF.

Great video Nikki. I intend to use a Comma unit when I get a car with ADAS.

Superbly narrated video with clear explanations of both the functionality and the installation of the unit. Excellent job.

Interesting to see how Openpilot gets installed. I think this is the system that Aptera is supposed to use.

Suuuuper interesting!!! I have been looking forward to seeing this video for a while, awesome work!

Interesting! Good to see you upgrading the older Bolt. Pity we didn't get these Downunder, they look like a great value EV.

Excellent video. Loved the in-depth installation tutorial. Thanks to the entire team 😊

Thanks for another great installment in the Updating an Older EV (to Feel New!ish) Great content.

Thanks for this video. I have now decided to buy a comma ai for my 2020 Bolt premier.

I like your diy spirit and abilities! Good video!

Now I want to try this on my self converted transit van RV! Thx

Very impressive, Nikki

Thank you

Nice to see fellow Comma users!

Rated best of them all by Consumer Reports!

Ha ha I definitely come under the "not in the demographic" group! Didnt understand most of what you said but find any sort of tinkering fascinating even if its too far beyond the mechanical for me to attempt. Really enjoying this little series Nikki, cheers.👍👏

makes me wish I had a premier model, I have a 19 LT. adaptive cruise control is the max of my cars autodriving features

Great video! Very informative. I have a 2021 Kia Forte with a Comma 3 running Sunnypilot. I’ve logged 20k+ miles. Love it!! I’ve considered trading in my Kia for a the bolt euv premier just to be able to get stop and go functionality. Do you think a comma pedal could work with Kia?

I am certainly hoping my Aptera will have this system installed at launch, or shortly thereafter.

You impress me with your knowledge! I have a Fusion 2020 which is useless for an upgrade in the form of a Comma 3x from my research, the steering locks out every 10 seconds. But I just bought a 2023 F-150 Lariat brand new in 2024 (0 % financing baby, they can't sell them anymore with the high percentage rates). I searched for something better than an ankle weight as this thing in only lane centering and adaptive cruise, it is very good but annoying as every ten seconds it's nagging to hold the steering wheel to yank it a little for no reason as that is more dangerous to just be holding it, it should have sensors that detect human body voltage like a thread mill, and not force over the steering wheel to make it happy, which I find stupid. Also why is it that 289+ cars are recognized by Comma, even thought America's best seller truck is the F-150? I live in Canada and the thing is sold with the American flags on both sides of the console, here too (don't get me wrong, I would live in the states if you guys would let me, I love Florida and you guys), so I bought myself plenty of Canadian flags to plant on the truck with my Mickey Mouse aluminum sticker haha. Cheerio Pip Pip as my father in-law would say! He was in the British navy. Ahoy o maty!😀Thanks for the video!

Nice! Very comprehensive video. I applaud the approach of updating and keeping the car. What are the potential liability issues with installing a system like this? If there’s a crash - are you at all worried that insurance won’t give coverage due to the “experimental” and “DIY” nature of this product?

This is very interesting tech. Note that the LT trim would be a no-go for the install as it lacked lane keeping assist…

Would have been good to see navigating round a few turns. Thanks.

That was a lot of work, I'm curious how you'll like it after a few months. But a very cool project, Nikki. And a great beta for Open Pilot.

Some close-up views of small parts and features would be very helpful.

Well, I have not EV yet as pretty expensive here in the states. Wish they had something like this for my 2013 escape. Really hoping Aptera works with something like this as that is where my reservation is.

I used openpilot on my bolt euv premier before I traded it in for lightning. We have model y and lightning

Will it use the friction breaks if it needs to or does it only work with one pedal driving ?

My Bolt got beat up in a bad hailstorm, is there a good source for cheap replacement panels? Especially the hood. I'm in CO. Insurance gave me some money for paintless dent repair, but it's probably not enough with how much that storm jacked up local prices.

Any tips on getting the cable out? I have the white part pulled out all the way but I can’t pull the cable off still. TIA.

I have a 2020 Bolt, but my car doesn’t steer (the lane keep assist doesn’t really work…) can I use the Comma 3 like yours?

When you bought the comma.ai unit, which harness did you get with it? The 2022 Bolt EV (GM) harness?

If anyone is doing this for the MG4 EV's please post - looking to do the same but do not know which harness to get - Thanks

That's interesting as I thought ACC was a requirement. Your video says that your Bolt does not have ACC and it works. I have a Bolt EV 2023 (LT Canadian model) that doesn't have ACC but has Lane Assist. Do you know if it will work with my car?

Can you please give a close up on how to route the ethernet cable under the trim in that specific Bolt? For example, while I could shove the cable under the trim, I'm not sure if I'm interfering with the side airbag. Thanks!

Nice video ! I happen to drive a Premier 2017 Bolt as well, and I also have an order in for a Lightning Pro edition (hard to find in Canada, long waiting lists). It would be nice to have a short list of what exactly needs to be purchased, as long with the sources. Comma 3 (is 3x better?) Y cable for the LKA camera (is it the same cable as the 2022 ?) Pedal cable (source?) Thanks for the nice detailed video !

excellent vieo! love it a lot. will comma 3 drive in the night? what about long term safety? i mean when the camera lenses gets dirty, for example, it would potentially affect how it drives... another example would be temperature, not sure if the unit can handle extreme hot or cold temperature. i am also surprised it can handle changing lanes, because it doesn't connect to other camera in the bolt, how does it know if there is another car int he blind spot?

What's happening with Kate's Moggy conversion?

So far I take the Bolt into the Chevy place to get it serviced. Will this upgrade confuse their techs?

Hey, Nikki! Thank you for this video. I want to do this with my 2017 Bolt Premier, too. The comma three device comes with the harness (it says 22-23 Bolts, but it works for the 2017, right?), a USB-C cable, an RJ-45 cable, and the mount. Where did you get the pedal interceptor, and are those all of the physical items needed? EDIT: I found the link in the description. Thank you for your video again!

did you have to use a OBDII harness connector at the OBDII port? or just run the RJ45 cable from the pedal to the harness box behind the mirror?

Can I still get an answer for a question about this video?

Curious to know why and where you sourced the components from instead of direct from comma. Was it more affordable?

I was wondering if Comma Ai would work on a 2017 LT Bolt without lane assist?

Do they make this product for the newest Gen leaf this would be a dream in my 2023 leaf

you didn't explain where the far end of the ethernet cable. I assume this plugs into the pedal device??? Is that a correct assumption?

Does it ever use the friction brakes or is that not a tool that it can access, only the regen braking? Just bought my 3x going to be installing soon on my 17

Did you ever install the new wireless charger? Don't see a video for it

Cost?

Bummer, my LEAF is to old..

Have you tried plugging this into your lightning? I was just reading some forums and theres a guy here on youtube thats got it on his ice f150? I'd watch that content if you made it

There are now 12-step groups for people addicted to the Bolt EV.

Comprense un Tesla... tanto que se quejan...

Nobody is going to talk about the cars wizzing by on the hiway? Your doing 55 lady
