Is there any other difference in the features then my observed ones below?

Progdisc allows to set:
timing
freewheel
&update FW in the ESCīs

Bluetooth allows to set:
gear ratio
&realtime monitoring via the Kview application

The only thing the BT can do is update the firmware as far as I've used to date. Progdisc is now obsolete awaiting new hardware/interface possible via the USB port on the Kosmik.

Bluetooth unit. The new hardware should be done shortly.

to answer other question above the usb port on the kosmik is for Kontronik use only for programming the board.

It's Def annoying that I need to buy a device to program my kosmik. I can't find a bluetooth modual or prog disk anywhere. Very frustrating

I have no need for the very expensive BT module, so yes frustrated to not be able to program Koby, JPro or Kosmik. For all my other Jives it is easy with the ProgCard 1 & 2 and that was not to expensive.

Any date for release as many a Kontronik buff has said after the Pro120 release which has been out for a month or longer already?

Either way they should not release a device, and not the hardware to change it's settings. They should at least kept the Progdisc going until something available to replace it!
Yes can always get up and going with just the stick programming, but if want to change some setting you should have the means to do so!

I have the Progdisc and glad bought it when I did. I got enough use out of it for the money, with two Jives and three Kobys.
