It is irrelevant that built in NAV is dead or not. The 2020/21 Z was sold with an optional built in NAV and the unit can never have any updates????? Makes no sense.

Nice way to treat customers. My Z is 11 years old so I don't really care but the Z customers who have more recent model years are thrown under the bus on this.
You may be right on physical parts, but software is different and there is no requirement to provide map updates.
I suspect no one will notice because the apps do such a better job.

Sorry but the customers of Z's in the last few years who bought the $2k Nav package would most definitely have a different view.

People who buy a brand new 12 year old car already don't make the most appropriate financial decisions to begin with.
