A number of people have asked me about the upcoming release of the updated MinnKota i-Pilot. Here are some of the details:

The most significant differences vs the current i-Pilot include a new remote that features a larger LCD display (20% larger), and larger, more durable, and more tactile function keys. The remote is slimmer and has a more ergonomic design. Access to the battery compartment is also improved.

In addition, the updated i-Pilot will be capable of storing 6 recorded tracks and 6 spot lock locations.

The new remotes are backwards compatible with current i-Pilot head units. However, the combination of a new remote + old head unit will not provide the additional storage capacity.

Hope that helps! Feel free to post questions and I will be happy to answer them.
