While Alpine you have to update the entire Chinese made head unit.
Also, if you have an ISIS system, then ISIS can be updated as well. I originally bought my ISIS setup in 2010 from a group purchase. I just got mine back from ISIS and they updated mine to the latest specs for ISIS Intouch.

yes it is nice that they can be upgraded, but they often quit working and lockup for no reason. Its fine if everything is working like its supposed and you want to do a software upgrade, but when the thing quits working as it should and you have to make a special trip back to your dealer to get it fixed, it is a pain both to the customer, because they don't know whats going on and its a pain to the dealer because we generally have to stop everything we are working on and fix it when the customer comes by. Then you look up the software upgrade and it will say it fixes this and improves that. well they should of figured that out before they shipped it.
