Dealerships are going to love the service calls by millions of out of the loop oldies that don't know why their shit is broken.

The navi in my 2008 civic SI is better than the nav in the 2008 Lexus IS i had leased for 8 months. It's easy to use, and it gets me where I need to be perfectly (i went to a hyatt and a club called CZAR this past weekend in tampa and used the navi to get there) The GPS is excellent.. I hope this gets resloved cause i'd be pissed as fuck at a 2000$ feature that doesnt work anymore

There's no way the GPS signal would be allowed to lapse - tho at the same time I would never pay extra for a feature built into a car whose future is "variable" (like XM radio, GPS, DVD audio, TV, mobile phone, Wimax, etc).

I wonder if that would fall under a bumper-to-bumper warranty claim?
