Is this FAIR? (Navigation System Update)
Let me know if I'm being ****.. I just purchased a '10 G37S Coupe last Saturday and realized on Wednesday that the Navigation hasn't been updated. Should the dealer absorb the cost of this update since I JUST purchased the car?
I know it's not a NEW car, but it's NEW to me and I feel it should have a properly functioning navigation unit.. It doesn't even recognize the street that I live on and my house and neighborhood was built in 2006.

LMAO ok... I just feel like I would not have had a reason to even use the GPS while at the dealer.. I knew where I was LOL and the only way I would have known it wasn't updated was to take it home. I did ask, they said no.

I had the same thought when I bought mine. Dealers will drag their feet...I tried to just get a full owners manual and that went no where. My nav doesn't recognize my street either so I feel your pain

I just picked up a White 2011 G37S Sedan with 32k miles on it.
The dealer refinished three of the wheels (curb rash), replaced the driver's armest and put 4 new Miichelin PSS on for $27k.
When I asked about updating the nav they would not do it. They said they were barely making any money on the car as it is (BS).
Before the G37 I used a Garmin with 6 year old maps and never had a problem plus I can always used my Android if i need more up to date maps.
I used it on my Harley and traveled from Maine to the Mohave Dessrt (Calif) and never had a problem..

I updated from the 2009 maps to the 2013 and really don't see much difference... in the area I live. Although many, but not all of the POI's have been updated.

****? Yes but were all **** to some degree like BB said. The car was sold as is, if you wanted the nav upgraded, it should have been a contingency of the sale. You might be able to negotiate a split in the fee though as part of customer good will

3rd party nav upgrade
i thought a while back that there's a company that can upgrade our nav system and also enables the function like search address and also watch video while car is in motion?

It's interesting that you can buy a Garmin for $100 with lifetime maps and Infiniti wants to charge almost twice that to update EVERY YEAR. On top of that, the Infiniti maps are crap, at least where I live (coastal Maine). I complained to Infiniti about the maps when I first got my G37X coupe new in 2011 and they offered no solution. When they sent me a notice of an update, I complained again and asked if the update would be any better. They didn't know, but they offered me the update for free. I installed it, but it is not any better than the original. My $100 Garmin is way better. I would never buy a Nav system with an Infiniti again.

A quarter past stripped
From the map screen hit the info button on the right side of the round ****, the touch Navigation Version icon. It will show what version the system is running. From what I have read they update the map software every 2-3 years.
