In the latest Karma Automotive video (7 seconds in), there's a glimpse of a new UI. Am I mistaken (maybe it's an old one that's been dragged back from the archives)?

It is an old one dragged back from 2011. You can see the dates on the B-Roll footage.

Here are screen shots from the video of my test drive in 2011. The quality is not great, but good enough that you can see it is the same type of interface shown in the video. The final production cars had the white-on-black interface we all know and love.

The original cluster and CIU had day night modes. The white mode was day mode and the black mode was the night mode. The final production cars are stuck in night mode.

Oh well - I guess that's what comes from being noob and only having a Karma for a year or so �� lack of historical knowledge on my part.

And a bulb failure on your test drive? Who would have thought...

Those demo cars were early production models and had a pretty hard life. Not surprising that they were not 100% healthy. On the other hand, they could actually charge the battery on the fly, a feature that was disabled in the production cars.

More troublesome is why the heck do they have 6 year od footage in a new Karma video? Does this thing even exist or is it a great way to bilk the new owners out of lots of cash.....

Maybe the Karma reboot will bring back the Day/Night color scheme feature. It's definitely a lot more legible than the all-black version.

We can do that today from a program we have written... too bad there is no market for it


Karma reboot is for the new cars more than the old ones that we all own; unless you know something different?

Just speculating. Otherwise,

We were successfully able to create day night modes on the test bench with the cluster.

Is there a market for day night modes? We could release it in our next version of the TOM.

I LOVE the work you are doing @PowerSource! Now I just need to figure out a way to get the TOM and not invalidate my PPP warranty.

That's really nice! Great work

Cool stuff! Does it do anything to the CIU screen, too? (I suspect that's asking a lot).

What is PPP? They say it is illegal to not cover warranty of a part on their website.

It is illegal for Karma Automotive to blanket void any warranty because of TOM or any of our products.
