If you have a Star, you should have the SW too. What would you do with the SW without the SDS?

I believe it consists of software.

I had a quick look at some documents but I did not find much about Audio 20 issues that a SW update would fix (but the head unit can be updated).

Perhaps the OP knew some specific issues.

I see, or actually I don't see what would Audio 20 have to reverse engineer but anyway would the format from the telematics update suite you?

The basic radio option should be reasonably basic, if the customer wants more and is willing to pay more, then there are other options (Audio 50 APS and Comand APS in Europe at least). What would you consider missing from Audio 20 as a baseline head unit?
