Just wondering if anyone has any info on the new 2nd gen Kameleons they look so COOL. I only see them on Euro sites. Will they be coming to the States???

I've just uploaded a PDF that lists the OFA product line for 2005. While there are several new remotes listed, the only new Kameleon is the URC-9964, which is an RF version of the URC-9960.

Also, just FYI, all the new models will use the new Motorola flash processor, which has not been hacked for JP1 work yet. This is also true of the new European Kameleons.

UPDATE 2007: The flash processor has now been hacked and is supported by the JP1 tools, but you do need a new JP1.2 cable to connect them to your PC.

thanks for the info and I hope that something will be done to make these more JP1 user-friendly because the 10-in-1 is an awesome looking remote.

Darn, the 10820 looks real nice too.

By saying "yet" you make it sound like you already know it may very well be possible to program these remotes with software and an interface cable (and with any luck there will be an exposed interface in the battery compartment just like JP1 remotes)... in which case I'd gladly buy one to help with the effort.

The "yet" was intentional. It is absolutely possible to program these new remotes thru the 6-pin connector that is present in their battery compartment because UEI does it. The problem is that as it's a new platform, it will need to be reverse engineered before WE can do it.

Hopeful news.

10in1 recharge cradle included some kind of funky touch sensor so only human touch sets it off and maybe possibly very soon JP1 upgrading
EXCELLENT!

Well, I didn't say "very soon"!
