2010 and newer models do not have to go into the dealer. You order the upgrade DVDs, and you can do the update yourself with an activation code provided when you purchase the upgrade.

About navigation map version!
 

Is there a separate firmware update for the 2010 370z OEM STEREO with Nav? I keep having to refresh my xm signal from there website every time I start the car. This just started happening after I transferred my subscription over from sirius. Radio memory is fine it's just the satellite. I thought maybe there was a firmware update?

This thread caused me to start looking at updating my NAV. Turns out the maps are on sale through to June 30th!

mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i hate nissan. i have a 2009 which means mine is only $99 for the map activation code but then need to go to a nissan dealer for installation. which means nissan sticks a massive methophorical penis in my ass for what i'm guessing to be $100 labor......for some fat idiot tech to hit a install button on a computer.

anyone know a hack for this? like some super computer nerd would be awesome right now.

The 09 updates are done via CD or USB?
If we could gain access to what media they use for the updates, then you can do it yourself usually.

2009 is USB. after that i believe 2010-present are CD. no idea why.

the way it works is i go on nissan's website pay them 150 (99 on sale right now) for a activation code. go to a dealer who has the newest verison, give them the code, guy hits install, and i get popped for a hour of labor or more for him to do nothing at all.

i seriously would love to figure out a way around that. :shakes head:

i hate delaerships. i dont trust them. never will.

Need to find someone who works at a dealership and get a copy of the install file.
Or, if the later models are CD based can we copy the data to a USB drive and use it that way.

that would be cool. i wonder if it would actually work?

i got a uncle who is a saleman at a dodge/nissan dealership. maybe i can swing something.

That would be good, also need to find out for 09 and 10+ what are the actual steps.
With the 09 with it being loaded via USB, does it just auto play and know what to do or are there inputs done via the consult that are required.

no idea. we need some nissan tech friend to hop in here. doubt we have any open ones on here because of how bad we usually rip them lol

Guys the 09 is not loaded by USB, 09 has no USB. The 09 is loaded by the Nissan App the dealer has called Consult. The new map must be loaded from Consult, not disc or USB.
