Replace a VG34 with a VG54

Before you follow the steps to upgrade your Vehicle Gateway (VG) from a VG34 to VG54, review the following resources:

• Learn more about the differences and similarities across Vehicle Gateway Models.

• Review the VG34 and VG54 Data Sheet (PDF) for device specifications.

To replace the VG:

1. Install your VG and identify the cables you will need.

   To complete the install, you must determine the right cable for your VG model and vehicle.

   VG34s use B-Class cables, while VG54s use C-Class cables. Examples:

   Model	Cable Description	SKU
   VG34	B-class cable (12-pin gateway connection)	CBL-VG-BOBDII-Y1
   VG54	C-class cable (16-pin gateway connection)	CBL-VG-COBDII-Y1

2. If you use Panic or Privacy Buttons, acquire the updated model and cables to connect them.

   Panic and Privacy buttons are different for VG34s and VG54s.

   Device	VG54 Cable Requirement	Additional Resources
   Panic Button	ACC-CPB	For more information, refer to the following downloadable documents: Panic Button (ACC-BPB and ACC-CPB) Data Sheet (PDF) Panic Button (ACC-BPB and ACC-CPB) Install Guide (PDF)
   Privacy Button	ACC-CPR	For more information, refer to the following downloadable documents: Privacy Button (ACC-BPR and ACC-CPR) Data Sheet (PDF) Privacy Button (ACC-BPR and ACC-CPR) Install Guide (PDF)

3. If you need any auxiliary inputs, review the information in Auxiliary Inputs.

   For more information, see the following downloadable documents (most documents on samsara.com/products/models/):

   Device	Resource

4. If you use a diagnostic hub with the VG34, set it aside as you will not need it with the VG54.

   The VG54 has a built-in vehicle diagnostics hub so there is no need for an additional accessory with the VG54. From a technical standpoint, the VG54 contains all of the features of the VG34 and includes its own diagnostics hub and C-Class cable.

5. To connect Third-Party Camera Integration Using the Standard Samsara Camera Connector, obtain the appropriate Samsara Camera Connector for use with the VG54.

   For more information, refer to the following downloadable documents:

6. After you install your VG and connect desired devices, pair the gateway with an asset. See Manage Your Gateways.

7. Return the old hardware to Samsara if a return is authorized. For more information, see https://www.samsara.com/support/hardware-warranty.

   If the old hardware is not eligible for return, dispose of it properly in accordance with your local recycling process. As the gateways contain lithium batteries, it is recommended to observe the local guidelines for battery and electronic waste disposal and take care when handling them. To find the recycling guidelines for your area, consult your local Recycling Center.
