Navigation Updates
#16
Well spoke to my service advisor as to what will they do when it's time to update the HD for the navi. He told me that they would buy the software and any other hardware needed(from the 3rd party) and charge customers about 200-300 to install the update either via bluetooth or the CF slot with a CF card thats connected to the 3rd party hardware. We'll see what happens.

That kinda sux. There are some major new freeways (toll roads, blech) that opened up in the last few months here in Austin that have been under construction (i.e. known about) for a couple of years, but they're not showing up on the maps in my brand new car.

AV Chapter page 320
"Update of map data is performed with the CONSULT-III and the applicable
cable. "
Hopefully this doesn't end up being the case and we will be able to update it ourselves.
