I can't seem to find any good forum to address issues with the CarPiHat Pro powering aPi5. Every boot up I get Pi warning stating "The power supply is not capable of providing 5 amps....". I have a Pi5 with 4gig ram, a Seeed underhat for the boot PCIe memory, a geeek heat sink/fan and the Car Pi Hat Pro. I have disabled Pi5 based BT and WiFi and am using separate modules on a powered hub to reduce on Pi drain and have better reception outside the double DIN cage it will all be installed in.
Summary of parts: Raspberry Pi 5 - 4GB, Raspberry Pi SSD - 256GB, Seeed PCIe 3.0 Dual M.2 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5, CarPiHAT PRO 5 - Car Interface + DAC for Raspberry Pi 5.
Any ideas?
Pi5 always gives low current warning on boot up.

It looks like the official Raspberry Pi 27W power supply has some mechanisms that allow the Raspberry Pi 5 to detect it.
Setting usb_max_current_enable=1 in /boot/firmware/config.txt should allow you to get rid of this warning.
