Also updated to latest version of Nav DVD. No blinking of position indicator before or after update. Ask the dealer to fix it under warranty.

there must be a reason, althought the nav works perfectly otherwise

Is there anything special you need to do to update from first generation (2002 SC430) navigation? Are there any more functions or is it just more streets that are listed?

Thanks

i didnt notice any other functionality but the maps are a lot more detailed and they look better.

plus the additional map data is nice. my house is on this disk which is cool.
