+## What You Need
+
+1. **A supported vehicle** — Check the compatibility list for your car's make, model, and year
+2. **A comma device** — comma 3X or compatible hardware
+3. **A vehicle harness** — Connects the device to your car's systems
+4. **An internet connection** — For initial setup and software updates
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Mount the device on your windshield
+2. Connect the harness to your car
+3. Install sunnypilot using one of the setup methods:
+    - [URL Method](../setup/url-method.md) — Easiest, recommended for most users

+
+## First Drive
+
+After installation:

+3. Enable cruise control as you normally would
+4. The system will begin assisting with steering and speed control

+
+# What is sunnypilot?
+
+sunnypilot is an open-source driver assistance system that enhances your car's existing features. It provides adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and many additional driving assists — all configurable to your preferences.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Adaptive Cruise Control** — Automatically adjusts speed to maintain distance from the car ahead
+- **Lane Centering** — Keeps your car centered in the lane on highways and well-marked roads
+- **Modular Assistive Driving System (MADS)** — Decouple lateral and longitudinal controls for flexible driving
+- **Speed Limit Control** — Automatically adjust speed based on map and sign data
+- **Neural Network Lateral Control** — AI-based steering for smoother lane keeping
+
+## How It Works
+
+sunnypilot runs on a compatible device mounted in your car. It connects to your vehicle through a supported harness and uses cameras, radar, and other sensors to assist with driving.
+
+!!! warning "Safety First"
+    sunnypilot is a **driver assistance** system, not a self-driving system. You must keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road at all times. See [Safety Information](../safety/safety.md) for details.
+
+## Supported Vehicles
+
+sunnypilot supports a wide range of vehicles. Check the [openpilot vehicle compatibility list](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/docs/CARS.md) for base compatibility, plus additional sunnypilot-specific enhancements for select brands.
