So, theoretically, you could try to install it from a copy of someone's disk 0, but honestly, the risk exists that you'll brick your navi if you use a copy, there's no telling what copy protections exists on that disk. Buyer beware.
Now, the results:
Usually slower drive to work too me 22 minutes today, and bluetooth didn't disconnect once. It used to do it at 10 minute or 20 minute mark. My drive back will likely be much longer, so I'll test it again. I also noticed that the phone connected to the car (or, rather, the car to the phone) much faster this time. Track information (I was listening to a long podcast) was blank - but the playback timer was running (when viewed in bluetooth audio screen - but not on the status line when viewing the map).
Again, I'll update tonight after I've driven back home. I can certainly live without track information (who cares, right?), as long as the thing doesn't disconnect me every 10 minutes.

Yes, disk 0 (program boot/data) is a stand-alone disk, and can be installed without installing new maps. That's also the disk that doesn't ask for activation code - disk 1 (first maps disk) does that.

I think I follow you here. I believe Infiniti asks for the unique head unit ID prior to ordering, so they may very well be vehicle specific in order to keep folks like us from trading out and installing without paying them. Greed-based Capitalism really screws the end user, even when a malfunction warrants a fix...

About to perform the upgrade on my car as well. Will keep you posted.
If you guys are talking about splitting the cost of DVD's, count me in. I also purchased the map set to try this out I did alot of the research to figure out the map update pack would fix this issue.
I'm happy to share the disc 0 dvd.
