Someone help me out i wanna update my infiniti navigation system to the 2010 maps and software but i refuse to go to the dealer? how do i get it done and bypass a visit to the dealer??? help much appriciated!!

 

go to the dealer...oh wait...

 

I think you would need to get a hold of the Nissan Consult-III diagnostic & service software. And the hardware devices to run it. Same thing they use to program the keyfobs on newer models, among other procedures.

In other words, good friggin luck with that.

Not really cost-effective unless you happen to know someone who has one.

 

yeah theres really no simple way to do it. off to the dealer you go

 

Call your dealer... tell them you don't want to actually go there... meet them across the street, and have the tech put the DVD in to update your Nav... give him your credit card so he can take it to the cashier and take payment. Wait... and wait... and wait... and wait for him to return it to you. See, you didn't go to the dealer!

 

Am I incorrect in the understanding that you can't upgrade the earlier year model NAV system to 2010? Map update is one thing, but system upgrade....

 

he has a 2008, which means the software can only be updated through the CF slot......trip to the dealerrrr

yes you are correct. the Map can be updated, but the WHOLE SYSTEM can not

 

You need to go online to Zenrin & purchase the update then take the Activation code to Infiniti Dealer and have them update it. Sorry no other way around it.

 

lol, what a smartass

 

I think it's not even the CF Slot, there's another plug-in interface or whatever somewhere hidden behind the dash.

 

Well then... I stand by what I said... just replace CD with CF or "hidden plug-in thinger"... lol
