I'll be waiting this one out as these updates are usually plagued with problems and go through cycles before stabilized. I also think post 9.31 may reveal surprises for us CubCrafters' peeps with the questioned intercom wiring. If you install this update please reply below with your findings, good or bad.

Garmin aka "g3xpert" participates on the Van's builders forum and it's usually good to watch that forum for G3X update info. They are the ones that found the bad release with 9.32 that came out first. Good to follow the discussion:

I needed to spice up my life after my landing light saga so I decided to update to 9.33 today. My routine is insert the SD card, of course, but then power on everything: MASTER, AV, SERVOS so everything is powered up for the updates.

I got concerned as my Garmin G5 showed an error communicating with the AFCS (autopilot). The G5 then updated and the error remained. Then I got the software update status and everything appeared fine except for the pitch GSA 28 (autopilot servo). I waited and waited, the roll servo showed updated and nothing. I powered everything down then on again and now the pitch servo updated.

Everything checked good and I flew, no issues noted. Cheated Garmin death once again.

I updated to 9.33 today, and also came out unscathed.
