🚨 Read Before Installing 🚨

It is recommended to read this entire page before proceeding. This will ensure that you fully understand each added feature on sunnypilot and you are selecting the right branch for your car to have the best driving experience.

sunnypilot is recommended to be used for most of the following car makes' models:

• Hyundai/Kia/Genesis (HKG)
• Honda/Acura
• Toyota/Lexus
• Subaru
• Chrysler/Jeep/RAM (FCA)
• General Motors (GM)

It is a fork of comma.ai's openpilot. By installing this software, you accept all responsibility for anything that might occur while you use it. All contributors to sunnypilot are not liable. ❗Use at your own risk.❗

Safety Modifications

All official sunnypilot branches from sunnypilot's official GitHub repository strictly adhere to comma.ai's safety policy.

The following changes are a VIOLATION and ARE NOT included:

• Driver Monitoring
  • ❌ "Nerfing" or reducing monitoring bounds ❌
• Panda safety
  • ❌ No disengaging of LONGITUDINAL CONTROL (acceleration/brake) on brake pedal press ❌ (was never included in MADS)
  • ❌ Re-engaging of LONGITUDINAL CONTROL (acceleration/brake) on brake pedal release ❌ (was never included in MADS)
  • ❌ No disengaging on ACC MAIN in OFF state ❌

⚒ Installation

Comma URL (Comma 3 only quick setup)

8.14 was last updated in July 2022, many changes have been made since then so test-c3 is recommended

1. Factory reset/uninstall previous software if you already installed a branch
2. Select Custom Software
3. Input the following URL: installer.comma.ai/sunnyhaibin/test-c3

Comma 2 / non-test fork for comma 3

To install sunnypilot's fork, simply use the installer.comma.ai URL (thanks Shane!) on the setup screen for "Custom Software" after you factory reset or uninstalled sunnypilot from a previous install:

HTTPS:// prepend is required for comma 2, This is not required for comma 3!

https://installer.comma.ai/sunnyhaibin/<insert_branch_name>

For example, if you would like to install the branch for HKG:

• 0.8.12-prod-full-hkg:

  https://installer.comma.ai/sunnyhaibin/0.8.12-prod-full-hkg
  

• 0.8.12-prod-personal-hkg:

  https://installer.comma.ai/sunnyhaibin/0.8.12-prod-personal-hkg

🚗 Driving Enhancement

Modified Assistive Driving Safety (MADS)

The goal of Modified Assistive Driving Safety (MADS) is to enhance the user driving experience with modified behaviors of driving assist engagements. This feature complies with comma.ai's safety rules as accurately as possible with the following changes:

• sunnypilot Automatic Lane Centering and ACC/SCC can be engaged independently of each other
• Dedicated button to toggle sunnypilot ALC:
  • CRUISE (MAIN) button: All supported cars on sunnypilot
    • LFA button: Newer HKG cars with LFA button
    • LKAS button: Honda, Toyota, Global Subaru
• SET- button enables ACC/SCC
• CANCEL button only disables ACC/SCC
• CRUISE (MAIN) must be ON to use ACC/SCC
• CRUISE (MAIN) button disables sunnypilot completely when OFF (strictly enforced in panda safety code)
• NEW❗ Disengage Lateral ALC on Brake Press Mode toggle:
  1. ON: BRAKE pedal press will pause sunnypilot Automatic Lane Centering; BRAKE pedal release will resume sunnypilot Automatic Lane Centering; BRAKE pedal release will NOT resume ACC/SCC without an explicit entry (strictly enforced in panda safety code)
  2. OFF: BRAKE pedal press will NOT pause sunnypilot Automatic Lane Centering; BRAKE pedal release will NOT resume ACC/SCC without an explicit entry (strictly enforced in panda safety code)
• TURN SIGNALS (Left or Right) will pause sunnypilot Automatic Lane Centering if the vehicle speed is below the threshold for sunnypilot Automatic Lane Change
• Event audible alerts are more relaxed to match manufacturer's stock behavior
• Critical events trigger disengagement of Automatic Lane Centering completely. The disengagement is enforced in sunnypilot and panda safety

Dynamic Lane Profile (DLP)

Dynamic Lane Profile (DLP) aims to provide the best driving experience at staying within a lane confidently. Dynamic Lane Profile allows sunnypilot to dynamically switch between lane profiles based on lane recognition confidence level on road.

There are 3 modes to select on the onroad camera screen:

• Auto Lane: sunnypilot dynamically chooses between Laneline or Laneless model
• Laneline: sunnypilot uses Laneline model only.
• Laneless: sunnypilot uses Laneless model only.

To use Dynamic Lane Profile, do the following:

1. sunnypilot Settings -> SP - Controls -> Enable Dynamic Lane Profile -> ON toggle
2. Reboot.
3. Before driving, on the onroad camera screen, toggle between the 3 modes by pressing on the button.
4. Drive. 

Enhanced Speed Control

This fork now allows supported cars to dynamically adjust the longitudinal plan based on the fetched map data. Big thanks to the Move Fast team for the amazing implementation!

Supported cars:

• sunnypilot Longitudinal Control capable
• Stock Longitudinal Control
  • Hyundai/Kia/Genesis (non CAN-FD)
  • Honda Bosch
  • Volkswagen MQB

Certain features are only available with an active data connection, via:

• comma Prime - Intuitive service provided directly by comma, or;
• Personal Hotspot - From your mobile device, or a dedicated hotspot from a cellular carrier.

Features:

• Vision-based Turn Speed Control (VTSC) - Use vision path predictions to estimate the appropriate speed to drive through turns ahead - i.e., slowing down for curves
• Map-Data-based Turn Speed Control (MTSC) - Use curvature information from map data to define speed limits to take turns ahead - i.e., slowing down for curves
  • Note: Requires data connection
• Speed Limit Control (SLC) - Use speed limit signs information from map data and car interface to automatically adapt cruise speed to road limits
  • HKG only: Highway Driving Assist (HDA) status integration - on applicable HKG cars only
  • Note: Requires data connection
    • Speed Limit Offset - When Speed Limit Control is enabled, set speed limit slightly higher than the actual speed limit for a more natural drive
      • Note: Requires data connection
• Hands on Wheel Monitoring - Monitors and alerts the driver when their hands have not been on the steering wheel for an extended time

Custom Stock Longitudinal Control

While using stock Adaptive/Smart Cruise Control, Custom Stock Longitudinal Control in sunnypilot allows sunnypilot to manipulate and take over the set speed on the car's dashboard.

Supported Cars:

• Hyundai/Kia/Genesis
  • CAN platform
  • CAN-FD platform with 0x1CF broadcasted in CAN traffic
• Honda Bosch
• Volkswagen MQB

Instruction

📗 How to use Custom Longitudinal Control on sunnypilot 📗

When using Speed Limit, Vision, or Map based Turn control, you will be setting the "MAX" ACC speed on the sunnypilot display instead of the one in the dashboard. The car will then set the ACC setting in the dashboard to the targeted speed, but will never exceed the max speed set on the sunnypilot display. A quick press of the RES+ or SET- buttons will change this speed by 5 MPH or KM/H on the sunnypilot display, while a long deliberate press (about a 1/2 second press) changes it by 1 MPH or KM/H. DO NOT hold the RES+ or SET- buttons for longer that a 1 second. Either make quick or long deliberate presses only.

‼ Where to look when setting ACC speed ‼

Do not look at the dashboard when setting your ACC max speed. Instead, only look at the one on the sunnypilot display, "MAX". The reason you need to look at the sunnypilot display is because sunnypilot will be changing the one in the dashboard. It will be adjusting it as needed, never raising it above the one set on the sunnypilot display. ONLY look at the MAX speed on the sunnypilot display when setting the ACC speed instead of the dashboard!
