702 or 722 Upgrade to Time Code

Question:

Is there, or will there be a possibility to upgrade the 702 or 722 to time code in the future?

Answer:

It is not possible to upgrade the 702 or 722 to include time code. They have unique circuit boards. If time code is a required feature, consider the 702T, 744T, or the 788T, which include time code.
