Replace a VG34 with a VG54

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:

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.

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/):

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.

To connect Third-Party Cameras, obtain the appropriate Samsara Camera Connector for use with the VG54.

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

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 VGs 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.
