Tuner Modules are now in stock at the empeg store - www.empeg.com/store - priced 70 UKP plus VAT.

Free tuners for Mk.1 upgrade clients will ship from Monday 24th. It may take a couple of days to ship all of them. You'll get an email with a tracking code when your tuner ships.

Sounds like the "joke-of-the-day"... have to check the store, I think....
wow, it's true. How to proceed if I wish to order also a blue faceplate? I'd like to include it in my order to avoid paying shipping twice...

Blue faceplates won't appear on the store as a regular part - they're being handled by support, so send them an email (carsupport@riohome.com). They're not back from manufacture yet so I would go ahead and order your tuner separately.

I haven't had a confirmation email for my Tuner order yet. Did anyone else get their order confirmed?

The empeg store doesn't send automatic confirmations - if the order completed and displayed your electronic receipt, we have your order. It won't get processed until Monday now.

I got 2 emails following the order, on the 26th and 28th. I forget what day the tuner delivered on, I think it was the 29th.
Curious, notice the difference between From:(s) in both emails.

OK, thanks Rob. That's put my mind at rest. It just seemed a bit odd that I didn't get one, seeing as it's common practice when ordering on the net to get a confirmation email.

Thanks to everyone else who's posted their experiences. Looks like the European eStore works differently to the US eStore.

Well Rob has a personal hand in the running of the International store so it's pretty unlikely . The main problem seems to be gettng stock, especially out of the US.

To follow up on this, tuners are shipping today as expected. Because of the backlog, though, I think it could take as long as the end of this week before we have sent all of the Mk.1 upgrade and empeg store tuners.

Be assured that our dispatcher is working very hard to minimise the delay.

You'll get a tracking number when it ships. Sorry the communication isn't ideal, but we have one part timer running the store (which is not an official SONICblue service) and he's very rushed with shipping tuners right now.

As sonic blue now stops the rio car product i think it'll also stop the tuner-production. so my question is: how many tuner modules will be available and will everyone who ownes a mk2 be able to get one?

I've now talked to some other people and my advice is:

If you want one, or will want one at some point, get it now. There should be enough to cover almost all of the mk2s shipped to date, but when these are gone it might get messy to get more made as the main product is EOL (eg, might have to collect pre-orders to make a batch, etc).

I ve got a question .

I want to order a Tuner From France.
I think it's gonna be possible.

My question is about the car rack.

Is it delivered with the wires or is it a nude rack only and must make myself connectings.
