No it does not. The upgrade is $50 but if you want it to be wireless it'll cost another $45.

Good question Reefltx ! Let me ask on the PTT group, right now. I must have some older MP10s (bought second hand) that don't look anything near what the new style does.
Thanks NanaReefer ! Just made it back from ReefStock so I've been behind keeping up with a couple of these threads.
Yes, you will have to purchase the RF chip for the wireless capability..... Do you have, or were you thinking of getting a ReefLink and running your pumps through EcoSmart Live?
Here's a link to the MP10 upgrade store on EcoTech Marine. You'll see the $45 price difference between non-"w" and "w". Upgrades « EcoTech Marine Store

I must have the new style. I switched both my blue box drivers to Eco smart wireless then bought new dry sides which came in all black matte finish. But, this was nearly 2yrs ago, so they must have been planning the upgrade or in production since then.
Hey Reefltx , it looks like the answer is yes. The MP10QD and MP10wQD includes the improved Wet-Side and the new QD Driver. The "old" Dry-Side remains the same (matte black finish), although it's the QuietDrive technology that greatly reduces noise of the MP10ES and MP10wES. It also receives a slight increase in the amount of flow with the new technology.
After 8yrs of a solid product, I wouldn't be surprised if the QuietDrive was in the works back when you bought your replacements. If so, they did a bang-up job of keeping it under wraps!

You can pre order now. Retailers will be receiving them any day now.
Thanks Maria!
Yep, according to the EcoTech Face Book page yesterday, they already started shipping to U.S. retailers and distributors!! Although, it's only the full QuietDrive sets. The upgrades will be available a bit later.

Correct you do not need to buy a new pump. You can simply upgrade the driver on your MP10w to the new QD.
