Otherwise it looks very nice indeed.

Is the s/w (firmware) upgradeable? (I ask as the vids I've seen don't endear me to the interface much - yet!)

How much would map updates cost?

Does it support changeable audio style by source? (i.e. Off/3 Way/Pro Logic)

Will there be a DAB/DVB version? (Analog is being killed off in the UK in about a year IIRC) and digital radio would be quite nice!

check you tube (search bluepower) and you'll find a series of 9 videos that ipd did shows the interface and how it works.

I presume that was in reply to me?

My comment shows I have seen the interface (which was the IPD videos) and I didn't like it - it was a bit too slow & clunky for me. It also doesn't highlight if it's firmware upgradable, or how much the map updates might cost.

If it IS upgradeable, it would imply changes to the UI and possibly speed enhancements

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a very good combination product - but I would be reticent to buy it knowing I'd get miffed with the response time, the missus definitely would, and analog TV being killed off here in the not too distant future would leave a good chunk of it's functionality defunct - but a DVB-T version would be fairly futureproof (you wouldn't need HD on a screen that size, unless all channels eventually go HD).

I'd also go for it more if it's was "badgeless"

Default Problems with the BLP-890?

Hello all,

I also bought the BluePower BLP-890 and I just finished installing it, but now my rear defrost, and heated seat controls, on the climate control panel do not work.

Also when I use the heat or defrost, the right side of the car blows cold air now. I wasn't sure why this was happening, so I checked all fuses and relays, they were all fine.

I even went out and looked for a new climate control panel, found one and spent nearly a $100 on it, and it did not fix the problem.

I'm not sure what to do, has anyone heard of this problem? Please, if anyone can help, it is already in the 40's in Chicago, and half my car has heat, and the rear defrost does not currently work.

Thanks so much in advance,
Brian

P.S. I don't really want to go back to the stock unit

if you put the original unit back in, does everything work again?
