2005 RL DVD Map Upgrade

I just took delivery of a 2005 RL built in February 2005 (13,xxx). My nav dvd seems to have a lot of old POI info (>3 years old) and are missing some not so new streets. How do I determine what version number I have vs. what is the newest version?

Also, since I just bought it, will I be able to get a free or substantial discount on the newer version DVD Map?

Thanks!

Check this link:

I got to this page from a link on the Acura Owner Link page.

Hope this is helpful.

I took delivery in 12/04 and have upgraded once but nothing seemed to change. I too have areas missing from the map that are at least five years old and some even ten so I am not too happy with the map situation. I just bought a PDA navigator program which includes some NavTeq maps which are completely up to date for the same areas so I know the maps exist and could be integrated.

$185 is too much to pay for nothing so until they publish a set of "change notes" with an upgrade so I can know exactly what has been updated I don't intend to buy anymore upgrades.

Frank-

Do you now have version 4.13?

Where will the change notes be published and will it likely include specific data by region?

Thanks!

Yes, I have 4.13 and I have never seen a specific set of change notes and nothing by region. The only thing I have seen is a general description of changes which was in the letter from Acura advising me of the availability of 4.13. This description was much the same as what was on

I guess I don't expect to see any detailed description of what has been upgraded. For $185 they need to do better!!!!
