Navigation Update Offer
Navigation Update Offer
It appears they are offering the $100 update, but this time you have to buy three years of updates at one time. I was hoping they would offer the single $99 update again...

The short answer is they are for different Navigation systems and are not interchangeable. You need the correct one for your system. Someone else may be able to answer more specific questions if you have any.
Check the link above. After selecting a model and year click on compatibility, it will tell you all the vehicles the DVD works in.

Does anyone actually (via purchasing) update their navigation every single year? At $149, it'd be the same price to skip the 2nd year and purchase the 3rd (well, actually you'd save $1). That way, if you decide you don't need the 3rd year either, you've saved $150 (as you'd have to purchase the 4th year no matter what).
Also, I'd be curious to see the subscription terms regarding not needing future disks due to not owning a compatible car anymore (car gets sold, etc.). I imagine it would suck to spend $299 on navigation disks and then not even have any use for the subscription after 2012.
Although, personally, to quote a portion of my reply:

Now, if they also offered some type of warranty/protection plan on the navigation unit itself once you subscribed, it'd actually be a pretty nice option... get 3 years of updates and waive the $150 repair fee if you have to send in your unit if it breaks... that would be a value that you couldn't even download.
...wait, what?
But seriously, they'd sell a ton of 3 year subscriptions that way, more than offsetting the cost of the repairs.

I NEED to do this soon even though I really don't use navi much anymore. In areas I've lived with a lot of construction like the Phoenix/Mesa area, my maps were outdated when the car was 2 years old. Now they're REALLY outdated.
I wasn't aware Acura offered a yearly update, I thought they were every 2-3 years.
