Ok, ACS #: 800-382-2238
I haven't called them for 6 months... wow...
Basec on the letter Acura sent to neuronbob, it stated "to a select number of our Acura family"... they're the lucky guys here, I'm not...

Btw, maybe those receiving free DVD update hardly bother ACS, I'm the one calling ACS more than 20 times in the first half year... so I got no freebie.

rets, don't worry, you'll get yours. They are probably sending them to everyone, just a batch at a time.

Getting back to the navi giving "non-preferred" routes...................on a recent visit to Boston the navi would give me different directions to my motel every time. I even went back to the same parking spot to see but it came up different again. The trips ranged in estimated time from about 18 minutes to over 40 minutes! Weird if you ask me. I never changed a setting.

I spoke with Acura Customer Service Rep. She told me to get a copy of the letter that come with the updated navi CD. We should then send the a copy to prove that Acura is giving some customer update CD. If someone can scan that letter they get with their Navi CD, so everyone can print a copy and get their new navi CD

sounds like a good plan. However, if that letter has stated clearly that ...This one time update is provided to a select number of our Acura family to thank you for driving an Acura..., Acura would keep saying the same thing to us if they decide not to fulfill our requests.

It do not matter to me what the letter say. As long as I have proof that Acura did send updated navi cd to SELECTED customer. I will be the customer from hell, until they treated everyone equally

Just got back from a road trip to Key West. Used navi all the time. Three times it made me turn off my route , then make a U turn to go back to original route. In Tampa, it got so confused it shut down. I saw this thread before I ordered a new DVD. Today I called Acura customer service and told them about my trip and the navi mistakes. I told them I knew about the free navi update and that I felt that I should be on the free DVD list since I am also a repeate Acura customer. My prior ride was a TSX. I'll post if they send me a free navi DVD.

This is my third 3rd gen Acura TL in less than one year. Well the second TL was replaced by my dealer for free. I should call up ACS and tell them this and that I should receive an update Navi disc.

Hey! Can you scan the actual letter that came with the disc? OR perhaps fax me a copy? I talked to a rep at Acura who said if I could send him a copy of the letter, he would see about helping me out. Any names, phone #'s etc. on the letter, Reference #'s???

Anybody have any kind of corresp. from Acura? With their letterhead and the contents of the letter that were put on this board, we could make our own copy of the letter to send.
By the way - how was the letter addressed? With your name, etc. or just a "Dear Customer" type of thing?
