navigation and audio update cd's
well I did this myself, but my car came back from the dealership with a low-low battery and I didn't know it. It was in for body repair on the nose. When I got it back the people who detailed it, they removing scratches from dealer cleanup of dust in November, probably didn't know it had to be in reverse. 
I get home, it set's overnight, then the next night (tuesday) I go out and put in the cd's. While the audio portion is updating (blank screen) the car drops into battery save mode (read on DIC). The unit kept my disc and after recharging the battery it won't turn on or anything. I took it to the dealership and will await their response.
Status: dead radio from failed update due to low battery.
Just thought I'd let y'all know!!

Yup - that's what I'm getting ready to verify - lose power and replace radio. Seems to hold true so far...

My dealer is going to do the same update next week.....gulp. I hope he follows the service bulletin guide. Actually, I printed a copy of the instructions on how to do it which I got right here on the forum. Thanks again forum.
