How old are all you guys? You are carrying on like impatient children!

Grow up and embrace the saying

"good things come to those who wait"

It's been about 20 years since I've had the feeling of excitement and anticipation associated with wondering what Santa Claus is going to bring me, but this is kinda like it! Haha

Yes I feel the same way. Can't wait.

Every time I hop in my car and use my current generic unit, I want to drive my fist through it, rip it out and throw it out the window at 110km/hr down the pacific motorway.

First thing I do when I get the DNS is throw the old one in the bin.

It totally ruins the experience of having a nice car.

So yea, to say i'm keen for the DNS is an understatement :p

Sorry about the delay guys! I've been chasing circles around the manager all weekend, so I have both good and bad news.

Good news is, the software is apparently near bug-free, with completion slated for Wednesday. They also want to tweak the radio module a bit more (tuning the hardware I'm told, not a software update), which will begin tomorrow and should be finished Wednesday / Thursday.

The bad news is I have not received the latest software so far

The manager knows there is a new one for yesterday, but he said it was still with the software testing department, he hasn't personally received it yet. He gave me the contact to get it from but, being a weekend, I haven't received a response from the said person yet... The manager also said he will see if he can get it from the office today though obviously they're not open today and the manager himself can be hard to track down on a Sunday. I'll continue to hassle his phone, but if I get nothing tonight I should at least have it tomorrow night. Even if it's not 100% bug-free yet it should be quite enough to make a demo video with, then by Wednesday / Thursday when they enter production the group buy order would hopefully be ready to go through.

We're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I think

I think that i'll be looking at purchasing this unit at a later date... Would love it now but gotta be sensible as Ive done other mods to the car...

Really looking forward to when it includes Digital Radio and for GPS directions to display on the MFD like the standard unit.

I really hope this isn't going to be released and then shortly after that replaced with another line of headunits built around the module addons that wont be complete before the headunit is released, leaving us having to repurchase another new headunit to get these features.

I hope not. One of the key selling points for me was the ability to add modules in the future to expand the system's capabilities.
