It will take a long long time. Alfa Romeo suffer the same comments. It will also need journalists to help get rid of the perception but that is still not happening for Alfa despite huge improvements.

The map update procedure is listed here: http://www.alpine.co.uk/support/firmware-map-update/nve-m300prue-m300-firmware-map-update.html Probably worth updating the firmware first - listed here: http://www.alpine.co.uk/support/firmware-map-update/nve-m300prue-m300-firmware-map-update.html

You missed the start where Daddy decided to have a child not for love but economic expediency. Germany in particular has been very keen on bringing weaker economies into the Euro to depress it's value and therefore help it's export economy while at the same time selling them big infrastructure construction contracts and the loans to fund them. Daddy is a bit dirty in all this as well.

They got it half right.

Lovely. Can't wait to see one in the flesh.

That should not have stopped them having a pre-production properly finished car on show. It's been shown already after all so this would be nothing new and a good teaser for the press cars to come.

Mine was a rear engined 2 door coupe.

Shame. I don't get album artwork via Bluetooth either so that seems to be normal. Might be different with a USB connection. Could be worth a chat with Apline customer support. There are some comments at the bottom of the compatibility chart that some features require the advanced beta firmware for iPhones. http://www.alpine.co.uk/fileadmin/PDF/support/all_countries/iPod_Compatibility_Charts/2013/iPodiPhone_Compatibility_Chart_2013.pdf It seems odd that the music works but podcasts do not. Can you try a different podcast app? Also does it work with a cabled connection?

BTW. Here is the link for the firmware update. The notes don't mention anything about iPhone podcasts but it's worth a try. http://www.alpine.co.uk/support/firmware-map-update/ine-w920r-ine-w925r-ine-w928r-ine-w977bt-firmware-update.html

Thought it may have been that way. Some of my cousins used to live in Stonehaven. Not been there for many years.

Very nice. Where is that taken? I grew up in Aberdeen.

I'd be interested to know how that bracket fits. I'm using a suction mount at the moment.

Sounds odd. I have 2014 Evora S SR and no issues playing podcasts via Bluetooth. This is the Alpine INE-W920R unit. What app are you playing them with - Android or iPhone? I use Android and BeyondPod. I have heard iPhone can be restrictive with Bluetooth. Try a different app or updating the firmware on the Alpine unit. I updated my firmware last weekend. Very straightforward with clear instructions on the Alpine uk site.

Be careful about leaving cheap Bluetooth devices connected to the ODB port. They have a reputation for very poor security potentially creating a wireless attack vector into the vehicle. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/19/progressive_insurance_snapshot_vuln/

The appointment and the announcement can be at very different times.

Took a few pictures on the day.

Another video of the 400 (s. There are 3). At around 1.30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLqYzpperlM

And a few more.

A few pictures from me.

Excellent day all round. Thanks for organising a superb event.

Heading west on the M4 between j18 and j17 this morning.

OK. I made the offer. Can probably be there for around 8am if that is the gathering time.

Can't wait to hear this in person. Sounds superb.

My old Alfa Brera had a glass roof and it did create a real sense of space and light. Not what you would call a light car though.

Yes please. I'm a lucky Idiot.
