Default Anybody have the newest navigation upgrade???

I went to the dealer the other day (for a battery) and asked about the latest nav. upgrade. Service guy said it just came out and was like $369 or something crazy like that!!!!!

First question: anyone have it? How do you like it?
Second question: ANYONE HAVE THE HOOKUP????

I know a lot of peeps will say use your phone, handheld GPS or whatever but it would be real nice to in the system. Let me know.

I don't think there is an UPGRADE to the Nav system. I think the only option is a Nav database UPDATE to the nave database.

The system should play the same way. The only difference is that the points of interest will be more up to date. Also any street changes since your last database update will now show up.

The map is only $169. I cant imagine they are charging you that much labor to plug in a flash drive.

From what I understand it's very difficult to get a map update anywhere but the dealer as they are tightly controlled and each one has a specific key that needs to be entered with a techstream computer.

CL has it for $169 and there's a promo code floating around for another $10 off. You're still stuck with the labor charge somewhere though, and as we've learned, that can vary greatly.
