i think you will still have the arrow view. It is only map and arrow-view with the Professional. The monitor is too small i think

Business has a 6.5" screen and arrow only, Pro has a 8.5" split screen so you get maps as well

No chance.

Although I do recommend that you upgrade your DVD, 2003-2 is very old. If you upgrade to a newer business DVD then you will get TMC functions and more up-to-date maps. I believe the latest Business DVD is 2005-1, 2005-2 should be out shortly.

No way!

Only the CCC can read the data and display a map on the CID. The MAS-K can't do it. That's why TV function requires nav pro...
That means, no video/graphics without pro nav.
