Is it just me, or is there just something odd about a radio that requires software updates? Why does everyone always have to reinvent the wheel? Radio tecnhology is not new, and complex is not always better. The radio in my 05 works great. [sm=dontgetit.gif]

Bryon.. you can go back to the 7.1 version.. do a search on HK Software - there's a link to a guy who's got all the different versions..
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;I dropped back from the 8.1 something to the older one.. no problems.. the 8.1 was skipping my mp3s
