Pretty much all in dash navigation systems are scams because they're inferior and will never be as up to date and full featured as their standalone counterparts.As bad as it sucks to pay for these updates, it's nothing compared to the scam on my Acura. $149 for a one-time map update. I love my Acura TL, but this is my last one if they don't improve the technology. Outdated and overpriced.
It's no different whether it's from Acura, Honda, BMW, Lexus, Toyota, Audi, GM, Ford, or what have you.
