Hello everyone -

It's been a lost time since I posted, sorry about that. I have a 2005 RX-8 red 6-speed manual, bought new. I now have 16,000 miles on the car and I am very happy with it - I've taken it on two cross-country trips from Arizona to Rhode Island and back. Reading some of the posts, I'm surprised at how many problems some folks have experienced. I averaged a steady 23 mpg on both trips with the cruise control set at 74 mph (that takes a LOT of will power!), plus it's used almost no oil - I had an oil change just before the trip in June, then one at a dealership in Newport, Rhode Island. I check the oil regularly and only needed to add some on one occasion, about a half-quart during a stop in Amarillo, Texas.
Overall I love the car, beyond a doubt the BEST handling-car I have ever owned - and I've gotten nothing but praise about its looks from people aged 8 to 80 - with a few cops included.

I do have a question about the navigation system though. While returning home to Arizona, on two separate occasions the system was unable to locate the hotels I had programmed in for the coming night's stay. It turned out that both hotels were in newly built-up areas, in other words, new streets, etc.

So, logically I figure that what I need is a new CD from 2007 - is there one available? I haven't asked my local dealership yet because some of their costs seem to be aimed at ripping people off. Does anyone have any knowledge about this, I'd sure appreciate some feedback - thank you!

The dealer can order it for you. Or, you can buy it directly from Navteq.

From what I've read on this club site, the dvd IS copy protected. So, there is no way to duplicate it.

I still have the old dvd in my car also.
