The 18 GHz PHOENIX V2 ECRIS is running since 2010 on the heavy ions low energy beam transport line (LEBT) of SPIRAL2 installed at LPSC Grenoble. PHOENIX V2 will be the starting ion source of SPIRAL 2 at GANIL. The status and future developments of this source are presented in this paper. Recent studies with Oxygen and Argon beams at 60 kV have demonstrated reliable operation at 1.3 emA of O6+ and 200 eμA of Ar12+. Metallic ion beam production has been studied with the Large Capacity Oven developed by GANIL and 20 eμA of Ni19+ have been obtained. In order to improve further the beam intensities for Spiral2, an economical upgrade of the source named PHOENIX V3 has been recently decided by the project management. The goal is to double the plasma chamber volume from 0.6 to 1.2 liter by increasing the chamber wall radius, keeping the whole magnetic confinement intensity unchanged. The PHOENIX V3 magnetic design will be presented along with a status of the project.
