Looking to get an update to my current Nav DVD.. I still have the one that came with the car in May '07.

Anyone getting it from the dealer? or is there a website or something?

Thanks

 

The NAV system is on HDD; are you saying you can buy a DVD and update it? Our cars don't have a DVD drive anywhere, just CDs. I think it needs to be updated on the 30GB HDD.

If I recall, this was discussed before and the consensus was, you'd need to find a wrecked 2008 G35 from a junkyard and get it's HDD and swap it with yours.

I suppose if you had a friend with an 08 you could ghost the HDDs but ripping apart then entire dash on two brand new cars is more risk than reward.

 

interesting.. i was under the impression they were dvds like the maximas..

 

Nope, it's HDD based, hence why we get the musicbox with nav. The M35/M45 is DVD based however.

 

There are a lot of other threads about the udpates. I don't think the updates are available yet for our cars. I seem to recall there are supposed to be availble in the fall.

 

hdd nav ftw. I hate my moms dvd nav in her escalade

 

I talked to a guy at Zenrin in SF and he told me the updates for the 07/08 sedan will be available May 1st.

Apparently it's 190.00 + tax and they give you a code through email, which you bring to your infiniti dealership and they install it on your hard drive using the're system to download it to your HD.

I didn't ask him if they'll need to format the whole HD or not.. Which would suck because I have a years worth of music on mine..

here's the official site
