Do you need more flexibility when installing your AutoPi CAN-FD Pro with the IP67 casing? No worries, there are several practical options to make installation easier and more reliable.

Mounting of the IP67 Casing in the Vehicle

In the images below, you can see examples of recommended mounting options for the IP67 casing. We suggest using metal mounting brackets or shaped metal plates that allow the casing to be securely screwed into the vehicle.

When selecting mounting hardware, keep the following in mind:

  • Use durable, high-quality materials.
  • Ensure the mounting solution can support the combined weight of the casing and the device.
  • Mount the casing securely to prevent movement while driving.
  • The casing includes dedicated mounting holes on both sides, make sure screws are properly tightened on all mounting points (the image below highlights the locations of the mounting holes that can be used with brackets): Mounting holes for AutoPi CAN-FD Pro with IP67 casing

Examples of the Mounting Brackets

Below, you can find examples showing how the device can be mounted using an L-shaped metal bracket. Both options provide a stable and secure mounting solution, depending on the available space in the vehicle. Two options:

  • A shorter bracket:

    longer bracket
    longer bracket back
  • A longer bracket:

    longer bracket
    longer bracket back
