Check out this gem!
Anyone want to feel nostalgic with this classic? I am about to go order the newest one. I am sick of looking like I am always driving through the woods!

Lol also.
If it weren't for the fact that these are amazing cars and we all love them to death, we all would have replaced the nav units with Garmin devices that have FREE updates and FREE traffic along with only costing a hundred bucks or so. There is no simple or inexpensive way - that I have found - to replace our built in navs to a more updated system.
I just bit the bullet and updated my '02 to a 13.1 disc with override for $30- and just ordered from same company the 14.1 disc without override for the '05 at $50-. I too was tired of "driving through the woods" and listening to "On the way to your destination....." Wish it were easier but it isn't.

LOL ...in-dash Nav is a throwback to a different time. I'd never want an in-dash Nav system for my car now but back then it was the shiz. I"m still running my original disc! All together now -

From the link you reposted, I'm guessing for that price, you only bought one of the discs, not the 2-disc set. Is that correct? Also, is the override an automatic thing on those discs? I don't see anything referring to the override.

I bought the 1 disc and I expected it to not have the override but it did so it was a pleasant surprise. The 14.1V disc for my '05 does not have the override function.

I just received the new 14.1 for my '05 from them and will install it later. Reliable seller so far.

Well, not really "false." The 15.1 JUST CAME OUT. For the first 10 months of 2015, the 14.1 is current. So, in 2016 for the first 10 months, the 15.1 will be current > 1-year behind.

Version 14.1 is the 2015 calendar year disc. Version 15.1 is the 2016 calendar year disc which was just released in October. Very few changes in road information from one version (14.1) to the next (15.1), but for someone updating from say the original Nav disc (version 5.1) to the 14.1 version, a significant improvement with updated / current roads and POI information.
