Since my car is a 2016, I wasn't sure if it was worth the $'s to get the 2017 maps. The updated points of interest are probably the best part, since restaurants and gas stations are constantly opening and closing.

As someone who works in I.T., I'm pretty familiar with computer stuff like this. So that earlier post talking about ways to update the maps free has me interested. I thought these maps worked like they did in other factory nav systems I've had, where just having a copy of the DVD of map data doesn't do you any good. What you're *really* paying for is the key code they provide you based on your vehicle's VIN number. Without that, it won't install.

Has someone created a key-generator to make your own valid codes? That's what it seems like you'd need, unless somebody found a way to transfer the updated maps and POIs directly to the NAV system's internal drive, bypassing the normal installer process on the disc?
