What kind of DVD-ROM for '5 TL nav ?

I just bought a '05 TL 6MT Nav. Unfortunately the Nav DVD-Rom did not come with it. I tried one at the Acura Dealer, but I forgot to get the info. Dealer charges me $130 for a new one, but I found a better deal on E-Bay (like $80). What version/type of DVD should I get ? I think the dealer had an orange face DVD - E-Bay has version 3.30 F - for SOME TL's - mine is a OCT 04 2005 model.
Any thoughts ?

What if I just get the 3.40A from E-Bay ? It's waaay cheaper. Will it still work OK ? I think it's worth a shot, if the only downside is the maps are not gonna be THE most accurate. I could save like $150 ...

i dont see why it would not work but it will be really out of date, it's already 4 years old. I also have 3.30f dvd and ran in to some issues in the Tampa area when my friends house was not on the map. you don't want to spend $80 and then realize you want the 2009 dvd, and end up spending $270 all together.

How about burning a copy of a 2009 last edition ? Will it still work with some DVD-based decoding software like Any DVD ? Or it's impossible to duplicate ?
