NAVIGATION UPDATE


Recommended Posts

Posted

Nope, the disc $160 and has to be purchased from GM. The disc is encoded to your trucks VIN and is only usable by the vehicle with that VIN.

We can do it for half of what GM charges but the HMI must be sent to us or swapped out for a core.

Don't waste your money! The GM navigation system is one of the worst out there. I just updated mine to the 2017 database and some of the major freeways that have been opened for about a year in the Houston area are still not on the map. I mean this is Houston - not exactly fly over country. Very disappointed! Either use your phone's nav system or buy a decent GPS from Garmin (or someone else) with life time updates. That's what I did and I'm very happy with it.

Good luck!

The NAV updates are mostly POI's like business's which most can get along without that info.

Also just FYI -- it's not a disc. It comes on a USB stick that you plug into the USB port in the console. And like was said above it is tied to your VIN and there is nowhere else to get the update except from gmnavdisc.com (unless you have the HMI switched out by GTPprix).

Yea, but when I go to your website.. It says "

WAMS will be closed until March 11th to catch up with our current workload and product development. "

I don't even know what you offer based on this. Isn't there a list of services you could post for those of us doing research?

Well when this was posted (in January) we had a normal workload and were running full steam, as it says you are welcome to email or simply wait 5 days until we reopen...
