Replace a VG34 with a Later Model Vehicle Gateway (VG)

Before upgrading your Vehicle Gateway (VG) from a VG34 to a newer model, review the following resources:

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

• Review the data sheet for device specifications:

  • VG55 Data Sheet (PDF)

  • VG34 and VG54 Data Sheet (PDF)

To replace the VG:

1. Obtain the appropriate cables for your installation.

   • For VG cables, if eligible, exchange your cables or purchase new cables from the Webstore.

   • If you use Panic or Privacy Buttons, acquire the updated model and corresponding cables to connect them from the Webstore. Panic and Privacy buttons for VG34 models differ from those for later models.

2. Install your VG using the appropriate installation guide.

3. To connect auxiliary inputs, see Auxiliary Inputs for VGs and AGs.

4. If you use a diagnostic hub with the VG34, set it aside.

   Later VG models have a built-in vehicle diagnostics hub, eliminating the need for an additional accessory hub.

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:

   Device	Resource
   Camera Connector	ACC-CM-ANLG Data Sheet (PDF)
   Camera Connector	ACC-CM-ANLG Install Guide (PDF)

6. After you install your VG and connect desired devices, Pair a Gateway With an Asset.

7. (Optional) After you assign the new gateway to the vehicle, you can Delete the Vehicle.

   Note

   As long as you complete the previous steps before driving the vehicle with the new gateway, you can delete the duplicate vehicle. This vehicle will no longer have an associated VG.

8. 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.
