I was bummed to hear bgill66 is out of the Chun harnesses. Hopefully he's able to restock soon.
As for the new harness and steering wheel button control - did you just get Lukas' harness, or did you get the harness and the modification? You'll need both in order to get steering wheel button...
I would think that if you encounter unexpected behavior from the device, especially if it is accompanied by hardware faults in the car, this would be an issue you would think is worthy of having someone to look into. My point about submitting routes with logs is because its very difficult to fix...
Not sure what you meant by āother cars being addedāāare you referring to Lukasā test branch?
If youāre asking how cars get added to Openpilot generally, itās mostly thanks to the open-source community. Thatās exactly how Rivian support happenedānot by Comma, but through the work of contributors...
"Officially supported" is a strange term to use for an open-source project. But for the sake of argument, I assume what you mean by that is support for Comma's branch of Openpilot. Comma, however, does not sell the harness modification and therefore has no reason to add support to vanilla OP...

The modified harness is fully optional and...
bgill66 still had the Chun mounts in stock a few days ago and he ships from Louisiana. Once he's out, though, I'm not sure how the tariffs will affect him in terms of getting restocked.
You don't have to do the upgrade right away. You can start with just the harness, get comfortable with Openpilot, and then do the upgrade when you're ready.
