Replying to: streamside (Jun 10, 2009 7:11 pm) 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.

Replying to: amy10 (Mar 11, 2008 3:10 am) 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?

Replying to: x5killer (May 05, 2009 11:35 pm) 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.

Replying to: pdierks (Apr 30, 2009 12:44 pm) 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...

Replying to: ellungo (Jul 17, 2009 4:19 pm) 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? Replies to this message: mlyons (Aug 17, 2009 9:26 am)

Replying to: ellungo (Jul 17, 2009 4:30 pm) 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.

Replying to: mlyons (Aug 17, 2009 9:32 am) I hear very, very mixed reviews about Toyota systems.   gagrice has it on his Toyota truck and he simply hates it. He's actually thinking about plugging in a portable Garmin and just ignoring the useless OE one.   But I have heard good things from the model that appears in the Solara and several Lexus models. Perhaps the Venza got that better system.   That Outback's screen sure looks better than the one in the Forester. I didn't feel like the Tribeca's was bad, but then again I sampled it a few years ago and newer ones have improved dramatically.
#316 of 327 2009 Subaru Tribeca Navigation problem by pametz Aug 28, 2009 (10:48 am)
I just bought a new Tribeca that came with V3 disks. I live in SE NC, and while it shows the names of most of the roads, it will not find any addresses on secondary roads, and that include the 10 year old development I live in. It will not route me to or from my home. It will not plan a route on secondary roads (those w/o highway numbers). When I check the version info, it shows V1.0 dtd 2007 even though I have the V3 East disk installed and loaded. Subaru and Kenwood have not been of any help. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Replying to: pametz (Aug 28, 2009 10:48 am) call subaru headquarters they will be happy to give you version 3.0 for free, my 2008 tribeca had the old one as well, but the dealer should had given you the newer version as well since 3.0 came out in 2008 the time i bought mine.
