Hey Michael,
I installed the new version and things seem basicly to work for me so
far.
Our e-UP is connected via ODB and T26A. Climate control ist working.
What I'm missing is a response that the climate control message is
accepted. The end result with red arrows layer over the car looks nice,
but I would prefer a two step approach. 1. message accepted, 2. result
OK (the red arrows). The situation on the wake up button is simmilar. I
get no visual response, if the wake up is working (like making the text
bold in the old UI).
The two "home link" buttons on the vehicle screen look lost and mess up
the design (the icons look very different). I only have room for 5
buttons on a row and due to the two home link buttons we have six and
therefor a second row with only one button on it. Not that pretty ...
So far my first impressions.
Regards
Chris
