Heat Pump HVAC on new JDM iMiEV models

There seems to be a bit of iMiEV news after virtually no updates this year.
Edit* the news seems to have rotated off that page and I'm not finding it as of 10/7/13 perhaps someone else can find it again.


New iMiEVs in Japan will be getting a Heat Pump:

How do you put your name down for the 30 day trial (and EV PowerBox) ?

Are you sure that this heat pump wasn't just a dream?

Well, they were working on a new, more efficient heater for 2013 which is 50% of the size and weight of the heater currently in our cars

Do we know if this heat pump heats the cabin directly or is it used to warm the water that the cabin's heater core blows air through?
