Hello Bill Bradbury, Start with getting a copy of the 400W Series Pilot Guide & Reference and sitting down in front of an installed 430W. (The trainer version that I have installed on my computer will not allow me to check its installed software.)
Using this Guide you can:
1) On page 149 select the AUX Page Group.
2) On page 149 select the Utility Page.
3) On page 158 select the Software Versions Page.
4) On page 164 see a discussion of the Software / Database Versions.
I found eight different sets of software and their versions on my 430W: MAIN 2.0, GPS 2.4, COM 4.00, VLOC 2.06, G/S 2.03, IOFPGA 2.2, STAGE 1 2.01, and STAGE 2 2.00.
I carried this listing over to our local qualified Garmin dealer / servicer and asked them to tell me if I was up to date. After a fair amount of struggle and searching they told me that:
MAIN is required to be updated to 3.30 with an optional update to 5.3.
GPS is required to be updated to 3.20 with and optional update to 5.0.
Since I am not currently using my 430W for IFR flight purposes I am deferring any software updates until that need arises.
I hope that this helps. Any other questions?

OC,
Where do I find the procedures to "poke around digitally inside your 430W"?
I would like to check to see what software is loaded in my unit.
Thanks,
Bill
