Re: Latest Nav DVD Disappointing
2003 Accord EX. Version 3.40C. It has a date of 2004, but it wasn't
available for purchase until around February of this year. I think
the original release date was supposed to be Jan 31, 2005, but that
came and went without a release. I just ordered it on 3/8. Arrived
from Alpine on 3/10.
