We all know the state of play on the tuner hardware and I think most of us understand the problems involved.

However, it has been a long time since we had any news on improved software for the Mk1 tuner. My Mk1 empeg is still not fitted in my car, the main reason being that the tuner does not have RDS auto tuning and I don't want two head units in the car. Without auto tuning I would have to retune (or at least find the right preset) at least 10 times a day (my daily commute involved an awful lot of frequency switches for my favourite station).

As far I remember we have not had any new on any planned upgrades to the tuner software in about 12 months. Are there any actually planned?

And before someone says "why would you want a tuner if you had empeg", there are some days where there are specific programmes on when I'm driving to work when I would want to listen to the tuner for the whole hour of the journey.

Just a simple "no there are no upgrades planned" would help, I could then reconsider my objections to having two head units.

P.S. traffic announcements would be good too.
