StarPilot

StarPilot's core purpose for radar-less cars. VoACC tuning is significantly improved, especially critical for Bolts without factory ACC, which rely entirely on camera vision for following and stopping. CEM is essential and preconfigured for these cars.

CEM is configured and strongly recommended for radar-less Bolts. "Slower Lead" and "Stopped Lead" conditions are enabled for vision-only cars. "openpilot Wants to Stop In" defaults to 8 seconds for smooth stopping at lights and in traffic. Status widget shows active CEM conditions in real time.

StarPilot supports Chevy Volt via ASCM (2017-18) and SDGM (2019) harnesses. SASCM overrides the Volt's built-in ACC and enables full openpilot longitudinal control. Configurations exist for Volts with factory ACC, without ACC via firmware flashing or "Redneck ACC," and other non-Bolt GM cars with ASCM/SDGM.

Both ACC and non-ACC Bolt configurations are supported. ACC Bolts use openpilot through the GM harness. Non-ACC Bolts work best with a comma pedal interceptor, enabling throttle, regen braking with L mode and paddle, and stop-and-go. SuperCruise Bolt EUVs are not compatible.

Strongly recommended for non-ACC Bolts. The pedal interceptor gives openpilot full acceleration and regen deceleration control using L mode, up to 70 kW of deceleration. It enables true stop-and-go, which non-ACC Bolts do not have otherwise, and is also optional for Volts to add stop-and-go capability.

For non-ACC Bolts or Volts running without a pedal interceptor, openpilot uses a workaround called Redneck ACC or CC Long to control speed. It works, but is limited compared to pedal-based control.

StarPilot's Advanced Lateral Tuning panel auto-learns actuator delay and friction for your GM vehicle and conditions. For Bolts, defaults are 0.2 actuator delay and 0.05 friction. Leaving defaults intact keeps auto-learn active; changing them disables auto-learn and uses manual values.

Each Bolt model year has its own lateral tuning profile. The 2017 Bolt supports 4.5 Nm of steering torque, higher than other years. Auto fingerprint selects the correct profile automatically. Verify in Vehicle Controls if steering feels off after install.

StarPilot maintains a list of community-vetted driving models in the FrogPilot model manager. Current recommendations include SC Driving, Dark Souls v2, and Green Watermelon v7. The in-device model manager is kept more current than the wiki.

Inherited from FrogPilot. Steering stays active even when CC is disengaged or while pressing throttle or brake. Recommended for Bolt and Volt drivers and toggled with the CC system button.

A self-learning curve speed system. Drive a curve at your preferred speed and CSC adapts over time. It is recommended over the built-in Curve Detected Ahead CEM condition, and an on-screen icon shows when CSC is overriding max speed.

Added March 2026. Galaxy lets you pair your StarPilot device with a password and access it remotely via a generated URL, similar to SunnyLink. Pair from The Pond at device_ip:8082 -> Galaxy and unpair there at any time.

Added March 2026. The Pond now includes a built-in Model Manager at /manage_models so you can browse, select, and install driving models directly from your browser without SSH or touching the device.

Built on FrogPilot, StarPilot inherits themes, The Pond, high-quality dashcam recordings, automatic version backups, ZSS/SDSU support, driving personalities, speed limit controller with OSM + Mapbox + car data, and the broader customization suite.

StarPilot lives inside the FrogPilot Discord, one of the most active openpilot communities. People regularly help with troubleshooting, hardware setup, Bolt quirks, and Volt wiring.
