Checked the mail today and was surprized to see that Nissan sent me a free navigation software upgrade DVD. This upgrades from Ver 6.0 to 6.1. The letter says it adds expanded map coverage and a larger point of intrest database. Has anyone else recieved this yet that has the factory nav unit? Here's the letter....hope it's legible.

Here's another pic of what the dvd casing looks like. Pretty cool!

 

Nice to see Nissan is giving this out. I hope everybody starts to get them soon.


I wonder how much and how frequent they'll be?

 

Got mine today. Glad to see Nissan is taking care of us.

Haven't received mine yet. The date on the letter tells me that I would expect to see it in a few.


Thanks for the FYI!!!

 

Out of curiosity, did your first DVD case look like this or did it have a diffrent image on it?

 

It looks the same except that it's a cardboard case. I never noticed it before.

 

I picked up my car middle of January. It's a VIN in the 11k range. At any rate, I checked the version of my DVD today, and I've already got the 6.1... my car was actually made in November, so it looks like all cars mfgd in November or later actually have the update already.

 

What case???
I picked up my Z last week I didn't get any sort of DVD case.
Was I supposed to???

 

Haven't received mine yet but will be on the lookout for it.

 

Where do you get the version number?

My map CD didn't come in a case, it was already in the player unit.

Where is this data?

 

My VIN is XXXXXXX5632. I got got the car in mid November. It came with the new version 6.1 CD. The only way I could see the version number was to pop the CD out and read it off the label.

 

I got the first update free on the Pathfinder; the next one(s) were $120 each.

I think they try to give you a full year of good data free.

FWIW, the latest CD for the non-DVD-system is not better than the old one for most purposes, and wasn't worth the money.
