I meant to post this on October 15th, but got caught up in all the recent upgrades, so it's a slightly belated birthday. Anyway... AVIC411 is 5 years old! Happy Birthday to us! AVIC411 was created on October 15th 2005 and started with just a few posts made by myself. It's now 5 years (and a few days) later and we have grown to over 219,000 posts, and have over 45,000 members. AVIC411 has gone through 3 major software changes (phpbb2, phpbb3, Invision Power Board) and has needed to move to a

AVIC Firmware Update 2.003 Released!

The latest software version 2.003 has just been released! This software is for the AVIC-X920BT, AVIC-Z120BT (and the AVIC-Z110BT that has been updated to the 2010 software.) Fixes: Phonebook contacts are no longer being displayed backwards (Last Name, First Name) on the headunit when using V-Cards. Contacts now always show (First name, Last Name). The biggest fix is that VR cataloging now starts correctly when the ok button is pressed.
