Copy a Navigation dvd

Thanks for all your help. I just went to a computer show and saw the sony for 175. but nobody has the dvds yet.

The avic does play dvd+r

I called pioneer and am getting the update cd for free, I asked them how much the dvd would be and they told me $15 for a replacement cd. I was getting scared by the 350 pricetag i saw for the others and i even asked my installer how much the cd was and he told me about 250. I guess thats how much it is if you dont have a serial # for a product.

I think the $250 disk is an upgrade (something that adds new features, data, ect.) for an older model Nav system.  The free disk is an update (bug fixes).  There is a new disk coming out for the AVIC-80 that will upgrade it with the same map data and 12 million POI that the AVIC-N1 has.  I imagine that one will cost $$.

So I think if you just need a replacement disk (exact copy of a disk you already have) it is much cheaper.

I saw the sony for 179 at a computer show in NY but nobody has the dvds for it. Anyway i called pioneer and am getting the 1.1 version for free and i asked how much a extra copy of the dvd would be and they told me only $15. so i guess ill wait till the format for the cds are more readaly available.
