i was wondering if there is an updated version of the navigation dvd.
there is alot of addreses in the current one that arent up to date?

 

3.40 could be the newest version so far...


Welcome to the forum

 

Welcome to the forum... as far as the navi disc, it will never be completely up to date. It takes a long time for people to drive around, add the new information, remove the old, and then compile the disc and program it for use in our cars. (at least a year delay? maybe 2)

www.acuranavi.com is where you will be able to get the updates. If you pull out the DVD in your trunk, it will have the version number.

Of course, as rets said, 3.40 is the newest version, so if you have that you are upto date. If not, you can see what is listed on acuranavi.com and order it. ($185 + Shipping I think)

 

My sales guy said it updated from the satellite feed, free...wtf?

 

LOL...


When your car is moving, the satellite will continue to update your location and display where you are on the navigation screen. However, the accuracy of Navigation will rely on the update DVD disc, how many satillites are above you, and environmental factors/conditions.

 

My DVD version is 3.30G, wonder if I can get the FREE update or if its worth it to spend $185...it doesn't have the turnpike I take home, although there are lots of dots where I drive it everyday!! :-)

So they are sending them out to everyone for FREE? Is that what this is?
As long as we wait for it?

 

I called the Acura Navigation number that the ACS gave me, 1-888-549-3798.

She told me that 3.40B is not YET available, till Jan 05', and is only for sale, they are not mailing any FREE ones out...she laughed at me asking that...when I said some other TL owners got theirs in the mail for FREE.

So take that one!

 

PS....

This is whats on the www.acuranavi.com web site:

Acura Navi DVD

The current version is 3.40B. Due to high demand, the DVD disc is temporarily unavailable. The disc will become available again in late December, 04. This DVD serves as both the fall 04 update DVD, or a replacement DVD

I was wondering is the www.acuranavi.com website mentioned in any of the manuals or was it stumbled on by accident... and if so are there any other websites related to the TL??

is there a candian website for the acura navigation update the above one seems to be only for the US??

 

helminc.com sells the service manuals for the tl... acuranavi of course has the dvds... acura.com you can sign up for the ownerlink

thanx alot trk9

 

I know some people are getting them for free, with no particular critieria. For those that have to pay, how often does an update come out? Yearly? bi-yearly? every 2 years? Also how many roads/hwys can be added in your area in a year that they would pick up? Is it worth $185 each year or maybe waiting a year to see a big change.
