Doubtful that any kit made in the last few years will be affected. That said, how Avidyne managed to mess it up is anyone's guess...
Your confidence is, sadly, misplaced. I'm doing a lot of work on the GPS rollover at the moment, and a large number of systems, from multiple manufacturers, some only released in the last six months, are having emergency fixes applied to them because, when tested, they fail - and not always on April 6th. This is because following the first. WNRO (Week Number Roll Over) event in August 1999, many manufacturers simply coded in a fixed offset giving them 19.7 years from the date of manufacture.
GPS WNRO#2 looks like it's the gift that will keep in giving for the next two decades
