DETAILS Changes are:
- Upgraded to the newer Raspberry Pi4 SoC, bringing 4x more RAM and an upgraded CPU!
- Added a quick release connector for Power/Ground and CAN HI/LO - no more screw terminals!
- Revised housing design, mounting measurements and locations are the same as previous, So no changes to clusters or mounting hardware will be required.
- Retail price has increased, reflecting the price of the upgraded hardware and increasing component costs.
Q: WiFi login
The V5 uses login “root” with no password
The V4 uses login “pi” with password “raspberry”
Q: Boot up
V5 does NOT play a boot video, but still has a customizable logo during boot up.
V5 boots 1-2 seconds quicker.
Q: Are there two different versions of the software now? Does software support stop for V4?
A: No, we have implemented Yocto. Our software can now be pushed to multiple different hardware platforms/architectures from the same base code.
Q: Will there be an upgrade path from V4 to V5 so I don’t have to buy a whole new dash?
A: We are aiming to offer an upgrade option in early 2023.
