Default "Best" Software Version?

Was running the 1.20.3 for the longest time and had no problems, changed the battery recently and lost the PTT CB transmit function. The fix was to load the newest version, the 1.22.0.1. Went on a few rides and it seemed to work O.K but yesterday all of a sudden I had problems, the nav direction/turns were not showing on the bottom of the screen and when I first started up (and until I shut the bike down to get gas) I had no nav audio, this s#*t is really getting old! Just tried to go back to the 1.20.3 and the CB PTT still doesn't work so just wondering what version everyone is using...and mainly, are you happy with it? Any problems? Thanks...

The current version works perfectly on mine. Some guys complain about the info screen not showing up unless the system is on but this version works perfectly and I am picky too.

Works great for me, also. You might want to do a factory reset of the system. I've seen that clear up weird problems that come up after flashing.

I'm running Version 1.21.0.4 & have the PTT switched to the left side.
Running this version on my bike because -
  • it's stable,
  • has working sidetone
  • accepted the PTT switch mod
It does occasionally give me the reading media message at the top of the display, but when it does it's only for a short time & doesn't bother me because the media plays just fine (I use a 16Gb USB drive with over 2,600 songs on it).

I'm using the current version, the only issue I have is the "reading media" message when playing the music on my thumb drive. But that's been happening prior to this release. The way I use the system, I don't experience any problems.
