This autosteer kit by Cerea was developed as a software solution for farmers who build their own autosteer system based on (recommended) consumer electronics. A turn key fully functional system is now also available. During 2024, Cerea has introduced new features in its autosteer retrofit kit: ISOBUS VT, ISOBUS TC-BAS, TC-SC, TC-GEO, TECU, New plant tree patterns.
Cerea started off with autosteer software for custom built autosteer kits. Usually, users create their own steering setup with an electric motor coupled to the steering wheel.
