New Nav DVD
I just called NavTech, who informed me that the next DVD (update) for the RX-8 Navigation System is tentatively scheduled to be released at the end of this month.
NavTech says they'll be about $200. and can be purchased directly from them. Does anyone know if we are entitled to a discount through Mazda, or . . . ? |
Is there really a huge difference between last years & this years? Doesnt seem like there would be enough growth or construction updating in 1 year to really make it worthwhile.
|
last years i think is actually 2 years old
|
I was told by a dealer that a software update disc is available for $60.
|
I certainly hope your dealer was right, Carpediem.
|
Navteq has said they would have an update by the end of the month for the last 5 months.... dont hold your breath...
|
and they also said only they will release the software and that its not a mazda thing at all.
We all got the first disk as part of the car but Mazda does not really support the nav system.. they just repace it.. |

this is getting rediculous, i dont think we will ever get the map updates.

ASSUMING that the new disc does come out at the end of the month....
If someone buys an RX in a month or two, will the new disc be included?! Inquiring minds would like to know.... |

Jedi54...we'll use the force on their dumbasses, or atleast rip them off :) |
truemagellen, i like the way your thinking...
|
When I called them I got the "It will be out around the first of the year"
I hear they update every 30 months? |
Wish I could convert my Nav to a DVD Player! I would use it far more....
|
They told me the new DVD would not be out until February and that Panasonic was the hold up

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-s-video-into-nav-av-electronic-video-switcher-install-44095/ I'll be adding an Xbox into Nav DIY to supplement the current one :) |
march '05
I just got off the phone and the lady with an attitude probably because everyone else calls up complaining about their delay and she told me they expect a March '05 release. She put the blame in panasonic and mazda. Said the CD is in final testing stages and that they had a problem with the compilation of the CD.
I forgot to ask how much it'll be. |
has anyone called or emailed Mazda of North America about these issues?
|
Around April or May 2004 when I called, Navitech said they'd be coming out with it "shortly"
PS: My computer burns dual layer dvds :) |
What kind of DVD burner do you have?
|
NEC ND-3500AG 16x speed DVD Dual Layer Dual Format burner
It was pretty cheap - got it from ecollegepc.com tomshardware did a dvd shootout and the NEC came out on top. I've burned a number of DVD and CD-R disks without any issues at max burn speeds. Dual layer DVD-Rs are still too expensive to bother with |
