If you use FrogPilot (works best for GM cars), it makes the driving experience much more pleasant on long highway drives.
There is a mode where the lateral control will keep you in the lane while you can still use the accelerator/brake or one-pedal. If you have an older model, it can still do it but you'll need what's called a "comma pedal" to make it work.

PS: this is not first time I am installing anything in the car just in the case for information.

1 - Comma will allow Adaptive Cruise Control to activate at speeds > 0 mph; on the Kia factory ACC activates only when vehicle speed is > 40 mph; use case scenario--I can activate it on surface streets where speed limits are < 40 mph
2 - Lane Follow Assist (LFA, not to be confused with Lane Keep Assist) works only on any road in which the Comma can detect road edge; Kia LFA works only at >40 mph and only if it can detect lane/edge markers on both sides of the lane
3 - Comma is capable of applying more steering wheel torque which is beneficial when taking turns at higher speeds; in comparison the Kia LFA would balk when attempting to take certain turns at higher speeds; I've seen this firsthand where I would approach a certain gentle-sweeping curve at 70 mph and the Kia LFA will tell me to take control of the steering wheel because it can't keep my vehicle within the lane, whereas Comma will take the same exact curve at that speed without complaining whatsoever
4 - Comma will not nag you to keep your hands on the steering wheel whatsoever (unless you choose to override that in the Comma settings)
5 - The Kia factory auto-lane change feature is a joke because not only does it require that you have your hands on the steering wheel prior to activating it, it constantly nags you to keep your hands on the steering wheel during the auto-lane change maneuver--might as well just do a manual lane change instead if you're having to keep your hands on the steering wheel; OTOH with Comma all I have to do is flick the turn signal lever in the direction of the lane change and Comma does the rest without even once nagging me to keep my hands on the steering wheel (you can override this as well if you'd rather prefer to receive the steering wheel warning)
To be clear I still keep my wits about me when Comma is in use; it is a godsend when driving on highways for extended stretches--in fact it's been great for me during the multiple times I've driven between NorCal and SoCal. Think about it for a moment--I don't need to keep my arms and/or legs extended for long periods of time; you can't convince me that your arms feel much better when your hands are on the steering wheel than they are when they're relaxed by your side. Yes it is not perfect by any means nor does it perform in the same manner as Tesla FSD but for what it can do compared to the factory driving assist features in my Kia I have no regrets purchasing it, especially considering that I paid $1450 (plus tax) back then; if you've been on the fence on getting one, then at $1100 it's almost a no-brainer to pull the trigger on buying one. Shoot, at that price I might almost consider buying a second one to use as a backup--an out-of-warranty replacement is $500 plus your old Comma.
If you can change the theme on a phone, changing software is similar. All the software if available from the device and downloadable via wifi. a 65 year old with little tech knowledge can do it. (He had issues with the computer on an electric bike.)

You may want to start with getting use to how Comma works with your vehicle by running Openpilot first, then once you get familiar with what it can offer you can move on to Sunnypilot which appears to be the fork of choice for HMG (i.e., Hyundai/Kia/Genesis) vehicle owners (I'm using SP on my Kia EV6). And oh BTW--each of the various forks have multiple branches you can elect to choose from, just to make your head spin...lol j/k. ;-)

I just sold my Mustang Mach E with Blue Cruise and got a Chevy Equinox with Super a cruise which is a very lame system. Thinking of getting this to see if I can go back to the quality of Blue Cruise.
Curious only because I'm thinking about getting a Mach-E or F-150 Lightning with Blue Cruise in the coming weeks.

2) I got a good deal on the Equinox and my vehicle was going to depreciate a lot this year, so I'm just saving some $$$. I may buy another one in two years but I will do GT next time, the suspension was very rigid on my premium.
Super cruise is only better than Blue Cruise on auto lane changes.
But it is useless on streets and even on freeways disengage very often for multiple reasons suddenly.
Blue Cruise was solid on freeways making a bip several seconds before disengaging so it was very smooth.
My Ford was also able to auto steer on the streets which was super convenient for traffic.

Reflashing a ECU is an hour. Even at 110/ hour, its still not 1k. Dude got ripped off if he paid 1k, there isn't anything the Comma would do to the ECU that could fry it. It's an ancillary software, nothing kernel, so it doesn't change anything.
