Default Re: On the trail of the elusive NAV update..

It's just nuts that nobody has been able to uncover it yet, or that none of the players involved in the manufacture of the various units has said something similar. Really, it should be as simple as "use the new discs from (insert make and model here) and you'll be fine." But no.
That is PRECISELY why I am on the trail of this wraith! I mentioned to HARMAN BECKER that there is a potentially profitable niche market in the US and Europe for updated discs. This reality may elicit just the response we all want: UPDATES! So here I sit waiting for a response from them and looking for another source.
