I just sent them THIS E-Mail..................
Where is the new NAVI DVD ???
I am tired of waiting and broken promises from Acura.
The system is USELESS in my area.
This is unacceptable. Please advise.

Just a little humor there (notice I said "little") 
Seriously, I have heard 4th Quarter is reliable for release of the new version DVD...of course, we have heard reliable dates before.
What I don't understand is that the most costly part of a NAVI dvd is the data collection and entering of new/updated data. Newer data is available for other NAVI systems, so the data is there...all someone has to do is put it on a dvd that has the appropriate driver software for the respective dvd systems.
The raw location data is the same for our NAVI systems (or it is a subset of newer data)...and at $150 a pop, it would not take a huge number to break even for us older CL owners.

By the time the NAVI is outdated, I will have sold the car.
