with infiniti im pretty sure when you "buy" the upgrade they give you a code that you give to your dealer who then puts it in thier computer and update our cars.

 

I'm not positive on the G, but I have upgraded our Nissan Quest DVD based system. You shouldn't need any code to unlock the software as it will only work on the Infiniti/Nissan vehicle. If you want to know what the latest version is, go to www.zenrin.com. 7.3 should be replaced within the next month or two.

 

Like i said you go to zernin's website buy a Code and then take it to your dealer to install where they charge you a fee as well.

You may NOT do that via this website. We do not condone nor encourage pirated NAV software.

 

i dont think tahts a possibility with the harddrive updates as you need unique codes fromzernin that i imagine will either expire after a while or be allocated to the vin... my $0.02

 

When you update your Garmin, I have a NUVI 760, it either writes to the registry of the computer or (I think I remember it now) goes to the Garmin site and gets the authorization and the serial number of the update is record there.

With our Acura MDX, I read hundreds of posts on how the Navi system sucked after applying an update.
I'm afraid to update my G.

I'll wait until I get much more feedback here before I drop a dime on that.

 

do you guys use your navi that much... that you really need the update?

 

I've never updated the nav in any of the 3 cars I've had equipped with nav systems. This dates back to a 2003 Honda Pilot. In all 3 cars, I have never had a situation where the nav was not useable due to lack of info on new roads.

If I ever came across that situation, I guess I'd look into updating the nav. Otherwise, it seems pointless.

 

Just took a trip to Kansas, through Memphis there was some recent construction where they changed the exit to stay on 40 from the right side of the road to the left. The navi didn't know about it so if we had to follow the street signs like it was 1998 or something.

This is the only incident I have had with the navi not being correct.

 

No problems so far! and i hope it stays this way for a while rather spent those $200+ on illum plates
