I went to the Canadian Acura/Navteq site. http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INT...gationMenu=YESThe disc is now available but its $249 CAD. The Dollar today is almost .99 cents on the USD. WTF. Why do we get so screwed in Canada by Honda/Acura.

End Rant

Has anyone purchased the US disc and sucessfully installed it?

 

I would like to know if anyone has purchased the US disc and installed it as well.

 

Read from the start of this thread. People posted their experience with the purchase and install.

I did for my 2006 Nav. No problems at all. I assume the 2009 would be the same although I don't have first hand knowledge.

 

I've installed it without problems. BE sure to receive the activation code from Nacteq before installing it.

 

Will the 2010 Red DVD Map Update v1.91.7.80, work for a 2008 3G TL model?

 

When I checked it today they are saying that they're selling it at a 20 percent discount, or $145.

 

And on top of that, the US site discounted the price 20%, and the dollar is currently at 99.74, so we're effectively paying 65%+ more...

I guess we can't order from the US site -- it keeps saying "The VIN you have entered is not correct. Please check your entry and try again"

Oh, and don't forget the $32.50 S/H on top of all that!

Is there any way to to see what updates are on the maps online before I pay for the upgrade? I know when I did the free update for my Garmin a few years ago I could look at what was included on the map before I did it.

 

Or better yet, maybe get a few IDs and Codes from a few people to see if we can crack the algorithym
