2010 - 12 Sat Nav

HNY All, I've done a search back to 2015 or so and can't find a thread covering this so thought I'd ask here.....

Had my 2010 TDV8 car into the dealer for its airbag recall, and asked for a quote to get the HDD Sat Nav updated as it is annoying that some of the VIC freeways are now quite out of date.

I was told approx. $475 - this being approx. $275 for the maps, and $200 to modify the hard drives (wasn't clear if this was just labour or a hardware change/update).

I am aware there's a guy on FullFat looking to reverse engineer the solution to allow an update, but ahead of that are there any other local Aus options anyone is aware of that aren't ~$500 - I 'd be happy to pay a couple of hundred or so .

TIA

$275 sounds about right for just the maps which are likely to be years out of date and $200 the labour to update the HD with the maps. Apparently it takes a long time to transfer the map file onto the HD.

I started looking into the Firewire connection quite some time ago but its a very low priority project mostly due to my feeling that it wont be worth the cost especially if an update for a later vehicle can't be made to work, but I want to see how far I can get at minimal cost. If I could get hold of even an outdated map for a current USB-connected L405/L494/MY12+ D4 system then I'd push ahead with some other hardware purchases.

apparently would update maps to 2015

I see that Australia 20 maps are now available for $275 but only from LR dealers, plus the cost of installing it via the original process. Australia 22 for $195 for later vehicles that you load yourself that has a lot of major Vic upgrades.
