Cody, which version of AFPD is this i.e. is it the plain version with no addons or is it the platinum version? How old is it since he purchased it and does he still have the original sales receipt? Does it come with the original usb cable and any adapters for the radio you plan to use? Ikarus has a two year warranty for the usb interface cable. Whether you go for AFPD or the latest AF5 will also depend on your computer system and graphics card. AF5 will need a better system and more powerful card.
