Do not, under any circumstances, pay 225 Euros for a NAV Pro Euro DVD! You can buy it from Navteq for US$180, which given current excahnge rates, is about 150 Euros (even with shipping to Europe, should not cost more than 160 total). They will deliver it to you by mail, you can order over the phone. Takes literally 5 minutes.

Thanks for that info.
My dealer would charge me 270 Euro for it...

They sell these on EBAY for $10.00 still in the case. I got mine free from the dealer. www.Ebay.de

The first one, or an update ?
I got the first one free off course on delivery of the car, but have to pay for updates.

I don't think there's an update yet. Sorry, didn't looked at your signature... my bad...

(I thought your car is an 03 and you allready updated the nav disc to 2004)

I have the 2004-02 version of the NAV DVD. I am not sure if they come out quarterly or semi-annually.

Is there a difference between 2004-01 and 2004-02. I have 2004-01. You think they have added all the construction on the Autobauns?

They update it twice a year for sure, but if there are too many changes they update it more often.

I think I am going to ask them if they need help because I saw some areas that have been fixed since Dec and not on the update.
