Well I have some good news! I did some testing today and can confirm that the 32gb SD cards work great! I tried a Sandisk Extreme and an Extreme Pro and they both work well. As for the software I tried both the AVIC4500only file and a copy of the OEM SD card.

Hopefully that works but if not I will buy the new Pioneer card from PacParts and make a copy of that on a nicer SD card like a lot of you guys have been doing. I will keep you guys updated with how things go. Also is there a newer or better version of the firmwar
