2016 Brown Navi. GPS/Firmware Update V2/V3

2017 Brown DVD Map Update V2 or V3


The Official Acura Map Update Site | HERE


My only issue in doing this update is when I completed this with my 2014 civic si they introduced the same warning screen but in the update made it so you need to hit ok each time you start the car or it just goes to a blank screen. as it is now it will show the warning prompt then auto load into the navi's GPS. Once upgraded there is no way to downgrade. I was so pissed then I had this happen to my 2014 civic, I called them right away to complain for such stupid logistic.

So my question here is when this is avail. and one of you tries it see if it kills the GPS auto load and post back to let us know. Maps are so out dated for a 2016 vehicle it's disgusting as it is now!

did the update and auto load still works the same, maps now make alot more sense. It also updated the radio firmware.

fw update took about 45 mins and the maps took 5 hrs. after the fw update the update triggers a download over GPS to get the new updated maps

The fact that we have to pay for this is ridiculous. Map updates as well as radio firmware should be updated for free at the dealership.
