Does anyone know if there are major differences between the Alpine Navi discs ver 2.30 and 2.60. I still have not put in the 2.30 which I bought years ago. I would buy the 2.60 today if it was $150. but I refuse to pay $185. That is ridiculous. Does anyone know if it will go back down to $150??

 

they do a price discount when the next release comes out
To see whats changed on each version look here
https://www.hondanavi.com/Hondadvdsales/naviorder.php

 

35 bucks is a deal breaker to you? on a 200 dollar item?

 

Thanks but I looked at that already and it doesn't show the differences between 2.30 and 2.60. It just shows differences from 2.50.

I am looking for someone that has upgraded from 2.30 to 2.60 (or close to it)and I wanted to know if it is worth doing. Or should I just use what I have.

 

Yes, it really is. $35 is a big deal when I just lost my side job and I don't even know if my area has been updated.

 

so you're looking for someone who upgraded from 2.30 to 2.60 who lives in your exact area?

good luck on the search.

 

oh and if you can't afford then just don't do it.
simple as that.

 

I just want to know if it is worth it to upgrade from 2.30 to 2.60?

 

I may get in trouble for this, but here it go....

We should get someone to sell us a burn copy of our Navi Disc
I'm still using ver. 2.11 burn disc copy on TL right now

Sorry I cannot see playing $185 for a update Disc when I can go out there an get most Garmin Nuvi 4.3 widescreen for $110 an use it in any car I'm in.
They should lower the price so the can get more Sale (like under $100)

 

you are not allowed to copy the nav disc- illegal

Here is the easy test: Do you run in to areas where the nav says not found?
cant find places you normally go?
Get a new disc
November is the normal release time for the new edition

Since the acura site isnt giving up the old disc info, I recall there is a private website with a complete list--seach online

 

2.30 is the 2006 disk.
2.60 is the 2009 disk
