I was going to say.....from the original quote 6spdcoupe posted, it didn't sound like Brax/Helix designed the entire unit....more like they took the unit that was designed by Ural, then changed a few things to make it "their own". And, as a result, other companies (even Ural) can not use the official "Brax/Helix" version/design.
That was simply my interpretation of the quote you posted 6spd.
Be carefull with interpretation...
You are wrong.
No one piece of that HU (and any other HU in the world) where Helix do anything. Moreover, Helix don't know what is CDD, Ural ConceRt and, of cource, what is "Conductor" (but, in fact, he plans to ask russians).
"Conductor" is not exist... and will not. This is a pure speculation.
"as a result, other companies (even Ural) can not use the official "Brax/Helix" version/design"
result of what?! Helix spend any time or money in this project? Naive! For what? To stick label is quite enough...
Ask Helix about "his" faceplate and (wow!) "his" firmware... almost Helix's space satellite.... Very impressive...
But who? Where? When? Why?

The answer (URAL) is not so far:
1. Get URAL ConceRt CDD (because you never can't get Helix CC)
2. Enter "Setup" -> "About" menu (you'll see "Info" screen)
3. long press knob: you'll see "Modules"
4. next long press: you'll see "Statistics"
5. and last long press: you'll see "About"
6. don't touch knob... and URAL tell you WHO is WHO...
What Helix?! Kindergarten......See Helix's product line and draw a conclusion. They has no digital guys at all and has no plans to develope HU in 21 century. Only make money.... "To each his own"
"they took the unit that was designed by Ural, then changed a few things to make it "their own""
What is the name of that "took"?
"Helix Competition Conductor Possesses the unique possibility of programming all functions by user. Apparatus is built on the apparatus platform with the lifelong renovation of software through the site of producer."
Cool! And what about the same URAL's unique possibility?
So much garbage... and hoaxes... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
