Navigation dvd
Would anyone on here be willing to let me use their dvd to update the nav in my 05? I went to the dealer and they wanted almost $250 for the latest version! The parts guy told me to find someone with the newer disk and borrow it.
I am an honest guy that just needs to borrow a newrr disk. I will pay shipping both ways or however the person wants to handle it. Thanks

The latest update disc is version 9 2013 maps and if you put that in your 2005 you will have the latest maps but if you take the disc out and put your old map disc in you will have your old maps back. No map info or POI info stays with the head unit when the dual layer map DVD is removed.
The full price on the official map update "HERE" site is $199 and they run sales occasionally and I paid $159 for the latest 2013 map DVD from HERE (formally known as Navteq) that provides the oficial GM map updates.

Oh I didnt know that. My nav works now and the disc is in the owners manual. Did they change something or am I not understanding? I can use my nav now without putting the disc in, but new roads in my area are not on there.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You probably have a year of the Nav that has 2 discs, 1 for East and Central and the other for West and Central. The latest version has it all on one disc.
New roads won't always be there on a newer disc, the only thing always on the new disc is CURRENT Restaurants, Gas Stations & POI's and the advertizing revenue they bring

The disc in the manual is not a map dvd it is a demo for the cd slot or the second map dvd for the updates that had both a east and west disc instead of all on one disc.

They went back to one disc again on the last 2 updates. The label on the disc will tell you the version number that will tell you what year maps you have.
Version 7 east and west discs;
Version 9 all in one disc:

Once, I was out on an errand and made a quick stop at the corner store. Stupidly, I left the door unlocked with the NAV disc lying on the console lid. I realized my mistake about a minute after I went into the store and raced back out, but it was too late. Someone had opened the door and left me with two more NAV discs.

No , I just purchased the car and had not used the navigation. 2 days later when I did try to use it, it said insert cd. i opened the door and nothing in there. I guess I should have checked at the dealership before buying it.
