Setup

With Asius Fork (Recommended)

1. Install one of our forks
2. Go to Settings > Asius and enable Use Asius API
3. Device will reboot automatically
4. Log into connect.asius.ai and pair your device

With Any Fork (SSH)

SSH into your device and edit /data/continue.sh to add the API configuration:

#!/usr/bin/bash

export API_HOST=https://api.asius.ai
export ATHENA_HOST=wss://api.asius.ai

cd /data/openpilot
exec ./launch_openpilot.sh

Then clear DongleId and reboot:

rm /data/params/d/DongleId 
sudo reboot

After reboot, go to connect.asius.ai and pair your device using the QR code on your device screen.

Re-uploading Existing Files

If your files were already uploaded to another API (like connect.comma.ai), they won’t automatically re-upload to Asius. To force a re-upload, clear the upload markers:

python3 -c "import os; [os.removexattr(os.path.join(r,f),'user.upload') for r,_,fs in os.walk('/data/media/0/realdata') for f in fs if 'user.upload' in os.listxattr(os.path.join(r,f))]"

This removes the user.upload attribute from all files, allowing them to be uploaded again.
