Step-by-step: Getting openpilot steering a 2020 Equinox
Channel: Stand Back Labs
Date: 2022-06-14

I got a 2020 Equinox rental car with LKAS but no ACC. Right up the OPGM alley!

A fraction of a second before I stopped recording, there's A BOLT OF LIGHTNING!! 1.21 GIGAWATTS!!

Watch the exciting process of going from zero to (half) self driving in about 20-minutes (could have been quicker if I didn't mess up the fingerprint 😝)

And even using a comma 2 (she still has some life left in her!)


The new battery for my Bolt was damaged in shipping, so not sure how long I'll have the loaner - I think I may have the accelerator pedal connectors - if I do I'll try to get (brakeless) ACC working for the trip back. (Still need to hijack that AEB...)
