It makes no difference whatsoever which DVD is in the NAV

Hey sorry to see you leave the fold
 
so what did you buy (sorry to be off topic). ahhh see you been posting on the MDX forums... too bad there is not a way to private message here without revealing your email address to the world...
 
I have 75k on my B9. it only needs another set of front antisway bushings that I am holding off on. replaced the tires on the 20s just this past week. so good for another summer. had a hard time finding someone to mount the new tires on 20's without charging like $30 per wheel
 
was thinking of moving on as well but I got all the hacks in and the SUV is running well with the exception of that stupid bushing that goes out every 25 or 30k miles. plus economy and job (ya never know).
 
I thought you would have gotten better $$ selling the B9 outright instead of trading it in on the MDX...

We recently bought a 2006 B9 Tribeca which had only a West navigation disc, and we need the East. Does anyone have one that they'd like to trade?

My wife purchased a 2007 B9 a few months back and we have the opposite scenario, as this was a dealer demo from Florida. We need the West CD. You can contact me at kingtut2770yahoo.com to work out the swap.

So, did they get the unit fixed? I have an 07 B9 that is flashing the Subaru logo 3 times, then goes black. The NAV buttons flash 4 times, pause, and then flash 4 times.
 
2 months and much $$$ later (replaced DVD unit, replaced cable, replace radio) still does it. Of course, it is past 36K miles, so dealer is having trouble getting 'free' parts.
 
Anyone else had this issue, and if so, what fixed it?

I don't know about the downgrading - but I'm interested in whether the V 3.0 was acquired from a dealer or somewhere else.

I'm in the same boat many of you are...have a 2006 B9 Tribeca with gps version 1.awful....have to upgrade but man that is a lot more than what I had expected to pay...is the only option to go through Kenwood?...I think about spending $250 for these disks that I really don't how accurate they are versus buying a Garmin gps and always having an updated map...here I thought I'd just pick up some $60 update disk and I'd be on my way...not so bueno...

Any Don Quixote people out there who have a link to a less than authentic source for 3.0 gps disks for the B9 Tribeca?

Can anyone tell me if the version 3.0 looks anything like the screenshots I've seen from the Forester and Outback? The graphics are much cleaner (it looks just like Toyota's screen). The graphics in my 2007 Tribeca are terrible. I don't want to update if it's not the new look.

I misspoke. The new system is in the Legacy and Outback.
 

 
Let me just add that I don't think the ver. 1 was that bad, it just looks ... well ... like a version 1. I had NAV screen envy when I got in my friend's Lexus. My wife just got a Venza and it has the same rich screen. But, I've only occasionally had a problem with the system giving me bad directions. I agree with others that having to hit the "Agree" button EVERY time you start the car is a nuisance. The Toyota warning screen clears after about 5-10 seconds.
