It meant that the warranty on their Acura navigation system was completely invalidated, and they could no longer use it!

I’ve read reports online where people had done this and ended up completely destroying their navigation system due to bugs that had been placed into the downloadable software by the torrent websites. You will never find one! The risks of an Acura MDX navigation update downloadĪnd let’s just say that you to decide to insert your copied pirate version of the Acura navigation update into your MDX, you are then entering into a whole new world of pain. Then have to wait for the installation files to download (they are HUGE!), then have to get a DVD, write the software to the disk… and then… need to get a unique serial number. So, you end up in a situation where you’ve spent an hour finding a download or torrent website. Nobody is going to give you their one, are they? That means, even if you do end up downloading a free copy of the disk, you then need to get a unique serial number or registration code – call it what you will. This is where the whole process falls over, as the codes are only to be used once, and are like a serial number that is specific to the original owner of the Acura navigation DVD. You will need your own unique serial number and passcode when installing the new maps. Once you do that, you then need to get an Acura navigation code. If you do download a free map update disk copy you will then need to burn it to DVD. There are loads of forums where users are searching for hacked and torrent versions where they can get a free copy of the disk without having to pay any money.

What I discovered was that, yes, there are downloads you can find online where you can get a hacked version of the map disc and then make a copy of it, but… I wasn’t able to find anyone online who had actually got it to work successfully.īut what I did find was this: Click for Acura navigation system updates.Ĭan you get Acura MDX navigation updates for free download? I don’t advocate piracy or copyright theft, so wasn’t looking for a hack, but was instead looking for a free promotion on the DVD.Īfter all, not having to spend money on map updates is a good thing, right? Of course it is! I swore it would never happen again, so I did some research to see if you can update an Acura MDX navigation system for free. Have ever felt the frustration of planning a trip to a new destination, only to realize that your in-built GPS maps are out of date? It’s happened to me in my own Acura, and I will never forget that day I got stuck in Dallas with no idea where I was going.
