Has anyone seen the exchange lately? <insert sarcasm here>

 

Anyone know who I could contact regarding this gouging? Isn't the 3.7 disc the same across the board? Or are there different versions between US and CAN?

 

Anyone from Canada here? Any ideas on how we can get a fairly priced update?

 

The US disc doesnt cover Canada
With our dollar- do you really want to pay our price

Where did you find a US disc for 150? new?
thats what they normally charge for last years when they release the new one

 

on 12/3 the 3.70 disc will go on sale for $149 USD + Tax/Shipping

The reason the Canadian disc costs more is because the people at Alpine got pissed when they went to Canada and paid with US money but were given Canadian change in return, which is completely useless and frustrating when you go to buy a soda and you realize the jackass at the grocery store gave you what looks to be a quarter but is actually some odd Canadian metallic tender disc.

 

3.7 Covers US and Canada
It's the same disc for a different price
Today exchange $1.04 CAN = $1 US

Why the bloody difference of almost $100?

Anyone willing to sell me their 3.6 on the cheap when they buy the 3.7?

 

i'll be selling mine; someone else is already in line for it but if that falls through we can working something out..

 

Canada's a lot bigger than the U.S. I'm sure if you compare the cost of the two disks in terms of $ per unit of area (square miles or square meters or whatever) the cost is almost the same. :-)

 

Do to canada having a smaller poplation than the US, Canada will have less points of interest and fewer roads to cover with the Navi. So if you compare roads to roads or points of interest between the two countries then the Canadian price is outrages when compared to the US price.

 

 

Same reason why the TL costs more in Canada than in the US. Are you seriously looking for an answer here?

 

THE NAVI DISC IS THE SAME BOTH US AND CANADA!!!

well.. i get pissed off at the currency.. but... wateva..

=) you can always get it from hondaacuraworld =)

 

FYI... Canadian dealers have dropped their pricing on the TL with big cash rebates (up to $8000 at my dealer here in Toronto) due to the exchange... wish Alpine got that memo...

Anyone selling their 3.6 disc?

Thanks.

P.S. And yes it would be nice to get an answer here to explain why we keep getting gouged on pricing when the exchange is in our favour and the product is exactly the same... not happy with Alpine. The update just came out and as such represents a perfect opportunity for Alpine to update pricing to be fair and consistent.

 

They rip you off for the same reason they charge us down here $185 for an update to fix a DST problem in a new car that should have worked right in the first place - or why they charge $185 for an annual update when companies like Garmin only charge $75: because they can.

 

LOLZ!

When I was in BC last year I went to Starbucks and made my first Canadian purchase of the trip... I was stunned when I gave the girl a Canadian $10 to pay for my coffee and she gave me a HAND-FULL of change in return.... I was like WTF am I supposed to do with 10lbs of coins, you got any bills? Apparently they like to hear their coins jingle up there?

Can I get a two-ney?

 

so go down to the states and buy buy buy!!!
