I second this. My gosh, people get butt hurt over Nissan sending them a letter to update the nav software for a small price? It’s $129! If this is going to break the bank, then you are in some serious trouble. What’s going to happen when you have to replace the tires, which will cost approx. 10 nav updates?? Nissan is a business, meaning they are there to make money. If you don’t agree with it, then simply don’t update!

Now go drive and have fun, and update your damn nav!

I got a letter from Nissan, and a couple of emails, offering to sell me the updates at the low discounted price of $129! I emailed them back and basically told them to kiss my ***.
These isn't some low-end Kia or Hyundai. I paid for one of the most expensive vehicles on most Nissan lots.

Yeah, you really showed them who’s boss....#sarcasm

And btw, the Z is not one of the most expensive vehicles of Nissan, nismo or not. I would say it’s the median.

I really don't see any value to this post.

I will however address the latter part.
I would think that around about $25k would be median price for cars, across the board, not just Nissan. I will admit to having done no research to back this number up, and will accept that I could be off by a couple of grand either way.
The Nismo Tech Z MSRP's for $45,000, and sells in the Mid to Upper 30's. It's not in Corvette range, but it isn't an Altima, either.

Read the post above the response post, and you shall find the “value”.

As you have stated, the MSRP of a nismo tech Z is $45k. So then you can spend $45k on a car but gripe about spending $130 for a software update? Once again, what are you to do when it comes time to replace the tires or other mainentance that may cost more than $130? Will you be emailing Nissan “WHY????”?

And you would be surprised as to how high Altima’s get in price, esp. when adding different options. Heck, a civic (albeit a type r) could be in the nismo tech Z range, if not more.
