Centrafuse 3.0 was released to private beta earlier last week. We are finalizing features and the release date, but will begin sharing details as they are locked down.
Centrafuse 3.0 has been re-built from the ground up to expand the suite of CarPC applications that will be available to you in the future. Speech recognition, text-to-speech, navigation, audio mixer, hands-free phone and Bluetooth have been implemented as open interfaces.
You’ll be able to use the same applications as in previous versions. Beyond that though, this open architecture will support a broader array of 3rd party plugins and will facilitate development of new features internally at Centrafuse and by our developer community. An enhanced graphics engine complete with customizable transition animations is also a hallmark of the new 3.0 core.

We are pleased to announce new pricing for 3.0: (All prices in USD)

The new retail pricing for Centrafuse Auto 3.0 will be as follows:
  • Centrafuse Auto 3.0 Standard will be $79.99
  • Centrafuse Auto 3.0 Navigation: North America will be $129.99
  • Centrafuse Auto 3.0 Navigation: Europe will be $149.99
  • Centrafuse Auto 3.0 Navigation: Australia will be $179.99
  • All other Navigation regions will be $199.99
NOTE: Current users of Centrafuse Navigation that want the benefits of 3.0, will only need to pay the upgrade price of $49.99 since the maps are the same for 3.0.
We value our loyal installed base, and know that many of you have purchased Centrafuse over the past few months. We want to recognize that commitment in form of a discounted upgrade price:

If you purchased any version of Centrafuse before August 1st, 2009
you can upgrade to Centrafuse 3.0 for $49.99


We’re also looking forward to working with new CarPC enthusiasts. We understand that no one wants to buy Centrafuse today only to turn around and pay an upgrade when 3.0 is released. We’ve considered you as well:

If you purchase Centrafuse anytime after August 1st, 2009
your upgrade to Centrafuse 3.0 is FREE


Keep checking back here for updates about the release date and final feature set. And know that the team here is working diligently to deliver the next generation of CarPC software to you as soon as possible.

    You say that 3.0 uses the same maps as 2.0, does that mean that you must change your area in Nav settings if you travel from PA to NY like you do in 2.0?
    Thanks
