AutoPi Telematics Unit CM4: The Ultimate Open-Source Computer for Your Vehicle
If you know the original Raspberry Pi 3-based unit, you know it opened the door to in-vehicle computing.
The new AutoPi Telematics Unit CM4 blows that door off its hinges.
We’ve fundamentally rebuilt the platform around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. The result isn’t just a “faster tracker”—it’s a high-performance, quad-core computer that transforms your vehicle into an edge-computing powerhouse.
The RPi 3 version let you log data. The CM4 lets you process, analyze, and act on it in real-time.
Why Upgrade? The CM4 is a Powerhouse, Not a Peripheral.
The RPi 3 was a start. The CM4 is the destination. For anyone who felt the performance ceiling of the old unit, this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
- A MASSIVE Performance Leap The RPi 3’s core was designed for simple tasks. The CM4’s Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A72 (64-bit) processor is a server-grade beast. It’s designed to run complex applications, Docker containers, and simultaneous processes without breaking a sweat.
- True Edge Computing is Finally Here Stop just shipping data to the cloud. With the CM4, you have the horsepower to run real-time data analysis and machine learning models inside the vehicle. Detect anomalies, run predictive maintenance algorithms, and process video—all at the edge.
- No More Bottlenecks Run your 4G/LTE modem at full speed, log high-frequency GPS, and decode multiple CAN buses simultaneously. The CM4 handles it all and asks for more. This is the end of “one-task-at-a-time” limitations.
The Ultimate Open-Source Platform for Your Vehicle
The AutoPi CM4 is the most powerful, flexible, and developer-defined telematics unit on the planet. Period.
Total Vehicle Control: Go Beyond OBD-II
This is your all-access pass. The AutoPi CM4 features a native, high-speed CAN bus interface with an advanced CAN-FD controller. You’re not just reading basic trouble codes. You are on the bus—reading, writing, decoding, and reverse-engineering manufacturer-specific data. This is the low-level, high-speed vehicle integration you need for professional R&D and advanced projects.
Always-On, Global Connectivity
A built-in 4G/LTE-M modem and high-sensitivity GPS module form the backbone of your system. Whether you’re managing a global fleet or building a one-of-a-kind connected car, you have reliable, real-time data streaming anywhere in the world.
Your Platform, Your Rules. No Black Boxes.
The entire stack is built on an open-source (Linux) foundation. You get full root access. There are no encrypted black boxes, no artificial limits, and no vendor-lock. Leverage the power of the Raspberry Pi ecosystem to build, compile, and deploy any software you can imagine.
Built for Developers, Fleets, and Visionaries
- For Developers: Stop prototyping on a bench. Deploy real, powerful applications in a rugged, vehicle-ready enclosure.
- For Advanced Fleet Managers: Move beyond “dots on a map.” Implement true predictive maintenance, advanced driver scoring, and custom edge-based logic that was impossible before.
- For the Automotive Pro-Enthusiast: The RPi 3 version was a project. The CM4 is a platform. Build the connected-car system you actually wanted to build, with no compromises.
The AutoPi TMU CM4 isn’t just a part of your project. It’s the new, supercharged brain of your entire operation.
Don’t just log your drive. Command it.
