The range
Two sizes. One command centre.
Same Helm Commander, same GM CAN-bus intelligence — the 5 and the 7 are the screen size, nothing else.
Available first
Helm Commander 7
7-inch 1024×600 IPS capacitive touch. The full command centre — every gauge, every screen.
Coming soon
Helm Commander 5
5-inch. The same intelligence in a compact fit for tighter dashes.
