Ok did some looking around and asked the dealer (not always the smart thing but did it anyways) I have a few roads on my navigation that just dont ever show up and the roads have been there for at least 5 years. any one know how you can check to see if you have the current version loaded and if no can you update it yourself or do you have to go to the dealer?

I see that behind my navi there is a hdd where i belive you can do updates but im not sure and wanted to ask before i do anything

thanks for any help you can provide

 

I think 2012 is the latest update.

Is this an update for the Navigation maps or Gracenote music database (MMCS recognizes songs/artists when a CD is played)?
I thought you had to buy the navigation maps update from the dealer...someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

You might be right. I don't own the /nav system myself, I only helped a friend update his a couple of yrs ago and we had to update an 08 model to 2011 maps. We used a couple of cd's one might have been the maps and the other this.

 

yeah its ridiculous that they wanna charge for a update when my car is a 11 and its not showing roads that have been here like you said for 5 yrs i think it should be free not our fault that this was not up todate when we bought our cars

 

well there has to be a way to update it yourself, I see the HDD insert on the built in navi i have but not sure of the files needed. or if i can do it myself.

 

Update for the maps costs about 300€ here in Europe, it comes on a DVD and if I don't remember wrong it takes a whole 2 (!) hours to complete. Major updates to the maps come every two years, my car (2010 model) came with already old 2008 map data, so it's really time to get an update soon. If only it were cheaper...

 

wonder if this can be downloaded from some where or if there might be any other ways around this. kinda messed up that they charge so much for the car then keep you ****ed by comeing back for a new disk every 2 weeks.

 

You also need a dongle (connects to the 3.5mm jack inside the MMCS unit), which makes it impossible to copy/download the navigation software.
