Nissan Navigation System

Thanks for your reply to my question. Sorry but your answer is not correct. Zenrin stopped support for the "CD" formatted Nav system in 2005 and switched to "DVD" format. Pity the poor guy (or Gal) who purchased the last model equiped (2004?) with a "CD" system. Nissan customer service told me, Sorry, but it is what it is and your request to have us ask Zenrin (a sub of Nissan)to come out with an updated CD or an update to your Nav System is herein denied. Now... my system is out-of-date, no other map maker has a disk that will work in a Nissan system and Nissan doesn't care one way or the other. I can't even order the newer "DVD" system from the factory to fit my car. Nissan will also not consider providing a "retro fit" or upgrade unit. My vehicle is a 2001 so at least I got a few years of service out of it but it's of little value now. As to re-sale.. the system is of no value at all. Thanks a lot Nissan!!

I feel your pain. There are many things that become outdated as technology advances. I don't know what your original question was but even if you can't update the system, it still works otherwise, right?

I suppose if you damage the original CD you would have a problem but you might be able to find a used one somewhere.

It is sad that you can't update it with the latest maps but you can still use it to enter an address.

you're welcome. Sorry! Your best bet now would be to get either an aftermarket dash install at bestbuy, brandsmart, etc or to get a porable GPS. I bought the Navigon 2100 and its great except for the few POIs and slightly delayed response. Even has text2speech!! The 5100 has millions more POIs.

Sorry about your nav.
