Dealership. You will need to buy a new card. FYI. The updated maps from the dealership will always be a year off.

I thought they just provide the link so you can download the update just like you do with your smartphone. Lol

Nope. You cannot updated the map from an online source. Dealership only. That link that was provided is to updated the multimedia system for new features or performance fixes.
