# Activate AI Node on Suite

{% hint style="info" %}
At the present moment, AI Nodes cannot be activated on Suite automatically.
{% endhint %}

Similarly to Skynode, to use AI Node to full potential it has to be activated in the Auterion Suite. Unlike Skynode, which is synonymous to a "vehicle" on the Suite, AI Node is added as a "Vehicle Asset" instead. This means you first have to activate Skynode, and then you can add AI Node to it.

Before starting, make sure that [AI Node is powered](https://docs.auterion.com/hardware-integration/ai-node/evaluation-kit/power-ai-node), [connected to Skynode](https://docs.auterion.com/hardware-integration/ai-node/evaluation-kit/wiring-ai-node-to-skynode), and has [internet access](https://docs.auterion.com/hardware-integration/ai-node/connectivity).
