MAKING MY F150 LIGHTNING CLOSER TO SELF-DRIVING WITH COMMA 3X INSTALL AND SETUP

EV Channels Review

This video details the installation and initial setup of the Comma 3X, an aftermarket driver assistance system, in a Ford F-150 Lightning. The reviewer, Branden Flasch, walks through the unboxing of the Comma 3X and its various components, including the main unit, power cables, and vehicle-specific harnesses. He highlights the need for a custom 3D-printed mount and demonstrates how to route the wiring, emphasizing the importance of avoiding the airbag deployment zone. The setup process involves connecting to Wi-Fi, downloading a specific version of the BluePilot software (a fork of OpenPilot), and navigating through a few installation hurdles, including a necessary factory reset and a subsequent update. Despite initial warnings and a "faulty cable" error that is noted as a known, temporary issue for this vehicle, the system is ultimately calibrated and functional. The reviewer plans to follow up with driving impressions and a road trip review, indicating this video focuses solely on the installation and initial configuration.
