I am considering some kind of legal action against Honda because of the nav
system updates.  The owners guide states that updates will be available once
a year.   The latest software I can get is from 2001.

All I want is for my nav system to have more up to date maps.

Anyone interested?

The new DVD was released several months ago.

Unfortunately, the 1999 uses a 500 mb pcmcia disk drive for the maps.

I sold my 99 3.2TL because the NAVI system was hard-drive based and hard to
upgrade...

the 2004 TL works fine with DVD updates  (as all TL since 2000)

I haven't updated mine since around 2002.  How sure are you that there
are no updates?  I say this because I have two Acura dealers around
here (Portland, Oregon).  One is closer but their update computer is
always "broken" (and has been for years) so I just don't think they
want to do the service.  The other has been helpful in the past but is
quite a drive from my home.

I was thinking of buying the update service this spring...

I think I remember reading somewhere that Acura has stated there will be no
further updates for the disk based Nav system.  You might want to check
before giving them any money.
