Nav. Update....need A Second Mortgage To Get One!

[Smope 0]

Hi All,

Great new look to the site, love it!

Took my car into the dealer for his annual service. At the time I inquired about how to get/do navigation system updates. I almost fainted.

First, they didn't know (!) After looking into it they cam back with an almost $300 charge (it has to come from Bosch, you know) and a

minimum of one hour labour, so with taxes, I would be looking at a $500 bill. Goofy, when I have only had one street not found in the year

I have had the car. Anyone aware of any other means to get the update? Sooner or later I will need one.

Cheers,

Sue

You are stuck with the dealer according to this Bosch info:

Great to see that built-in nav systems continue to be one of the automotive industry's biggest ripoffs. (Unless you own a Tesla.)

This is absolutely shameful when you can get an aftermarket GPS with lifetime updates for less.

That's the info that I found, too Darren. Very disappointing!
