have you tried just opening my computer and then put in the ftp link at the top? then it should ask you for login and password. and then you can right click the file and choose "copy to"

that's what i did and it was fine. firefox and ie didn't work

and watched the video, very nice! love the driving part, although some of their conversations were too funny. i mean, why bother talking about how cool the nav is when you are doing performance driving @_@

 

Oh noez don't take it down. LOL I can't DL 219 meg at work. LOL maybe if I said ti was a patch. :P

 

Rominl, I tried that and it didn't work; I also tried downloading it but it didnt work. This is the note I'm getting.

" Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have access to the folder.
Details: The connection with the server was reset. "

The file name was typed correctly.

 

Yeah,I thought that was interesting, too. They also said Lexus made the best navs hands down. Is that true. I have never even used a nav so I don't know.

 

I've used several differen't nav's from Lexus, Acura, BMW, Mercedes and Infiniti. IMO first place would be a toss up between Lexus and Acura followed by Infiniti, Mercedes and BMW.

 

I agree for the Nav portion only and while parked. However iDrive is so much more than just Nav and I believe for the iPOD, bluetooth, sat radio, car configuration, etc. iDrive beats them all.

Lexus bluetooth is the worst I have seen in the market. And the touch screen while nice at night, is a fingerprint/glare problem.

I guess all the systems have their benefits and drawbacks.

 

I as well as many others who don't like iDrive don't like it becuase of the "so much more" part. It does TOO much for one ****/button that BMW's are far less user friendly than their competition.

 

There are buttons and voice recognition available too I believe.

Like I said, everything has drawbacks. There is no perfect system. Lexus has glare, loss of use while driving, fingerprints, etc. But the Nav is nice.

Pick your poision. I just like to be objective.

 

I agree, that's one of the things I like better about the Acrua's nav. It's just as easy to use as the Lexus nav, but you can use it while driving, it also has more features then the Lexus nav. Lexus has the touch screen (which I love) and the maps seem to have fewer glitches than Acura's.

 

don't type the file name, just the path to the ftp first. after you log in then you click on the file

well i think acura and lexus have the best ones, depending on which one you like more. the others are below them

 

Rominl, that's what I did first but it didn't work! Strange. Oh well...

 

I agree. I just would not buy a car based soley on the Nav unless I was a cab driver.

Before long your cell phone will be the Nav unit sending via bluetooth to the car's display. Americans will not continue to pay $2k for a Nav system that is worth about $99. It is a good gimmick for all the manufacturers though and seeing a big touch screen certainly gets more car buyers who cannot look past the dash.
