Subaru of America follows through on 2.0 NAV DVD

As they had promised early last week, Subaru of America today delivered on it in the form of the updated 2.0 version of their NAV software for the Tribeca. The updated disc arrived via UPS.

The difference in the copyright dates on the two versions is two years - 2004 for 1.1 vs 2006 for 2.0. Just from a quick look, some local streets that were no longer through are corrected. It is very easy to swap out the old disc for the new disc - but one has to make sure the vehicle is at least in the accessory ignition position in order to eject the existing disc from the under the driver seat player. Aside from having to reset the clock and daylight savings time on/off, and the POI selections, all else remained in memory (the home location and preset destinations).

Again, Subaru understands customer service - and even better - they promise and follow through, something that is becoming uncommon in the auto industry these days.

do you have a reference number for this case from Subaru that I could use as I am having the same issue on a 2007 Tribeca I purchased on 11 OCt 2007 with version 1.1 as well?
Thank you

Is there a chance I could get a copy of the east cost version (i'll pay your shipping costs) or if you don't need it the original disc?

thank you very much
