WTF they aren't for sale in Canada yet? Oh man. Good game Pioneer.
Ironically my purchase is shipping from Ontario!
WTF... How is it u guys get em first and they shippin right outta my backyard?
No kidding. Anyone want to take a trip to the Pioneer building in Markham and see if we can get one? LOL. Actually next time I am down the 404 I will try it. 
I think I will try that myself... Shit while we in there how bout we drag their ass's out and show em the flaws wit the D3 as well and then DEMAND a firmware release along with the 2008 updates 
never mind
I'm not from the GTA, but Nova Scotia is not that far and I am willing to share the cost for the new DVD. Just let me know how much and i'll send some cash.
same here, but I'm from Winnipeg
I upgraded over the weekend. The one bug it did not fix - the Menu button for the iPod. 
I was really hoping that it would be fixed.
One thing that happened after the upgrade, every command I pressed caused a short burst of static through the speakers. Did not matter if I was in navi, music, or music off. I found that the button volume in nav settings was back up about mid level. Instead of a ding, it was just static. I lowered the volume to zero and the problem was fixed.
I don't know of any other issues that may have or have not been resolved. My guess is they have not.
I will try and get around to scanning the documentation that came with the disks and post.
I am in Vancouver and would like to join in a group buy. I think we should all be realistic in the cost though. I estimate it to be the following cost :
CNDV-80MT Navigation Software Update DVD = $120.00 US
Shipping to a US Address : $5.00 US
Taxes (Assuming it is shipped to Washington State Address) : $10.08 US
US Postage to ship from USA friend to Canadian Address : $10.00 US
Sub-Total for the DVD Upgrade Disk = $145.08 US
Sub-Total converted to Cdn @ 1.085 (2.5% above bank rate) = $157.41 Cdn
Verbatim Dual Layer DVD's (Future Shop) 20 Pack = $54.99
+ Taxes (BC) = $61.59
DVD West + DVD East requires 2 DVD's so a 20 pack of Verbatims can make 10 sets of Navigation Software.
2 DVD's = 1 Navigation Set = $6.16 Cdn
Canada Post Express Post (2 day delivery service with $100 insurance and tracking) the DVD's to the people who pitch in to the bulk purchase = $14.00 Cdn. This is an estimated price and not exact.
Summary :
10 People Group Buy
$15.74 + $6.16 + $14.00
$35.90 Cdn for each person
15 Person Group Buy
$10.49 + $6.16 + $14.00
$30.65 Cdn for each person
20 Person Group Buy
$7.87 + $6.16 + $14.00
$28.03 Cdn for each person
I think whoever organizes the group buy should collect the money first once they confirm they have the DVD's and then send out the back up copies. If they don't collect the $ first, there is a chance that after they send out the first copy, someone may post it up on newsgroups or hijack their sales and start selling their own copies leaving the original purchaser holding the short end of the stick.
I'm willing to pay the $36 if someone organizes the group buy.
I will be in on this "group" buy. Sounds like a great idea to me! I will be watching to find out.
I upgraded mine last night and everything works fine. No new backgrounds (I have a call in to pioneer). It did give me a new route to work, the faster one it never gave me before, and this with no new roads. Lots of new roads and it seems faster.

OK just got off the phone with Pioneer about the backgrounds and XM update. They changed some of the set-up on the backgrounds, frames, designs ans stuff. XM update is the station icons. They did add some extra to the map, like multi lane display and some other small things.

I work for FS, so we could severely cut down the cost of those DL +Rs
yes lets do this!!! 
Hey txjole would u mind taking some pics of the new updates of ur d 3 please.
Thanks Ryval for the info on the DVD's. I think I've seen them on sale before but even if they are half price, we would only save about $3. I think the majority of the cost is the Nav DVD and Canada Post.
Regular mail would be $2 but I personally would rather have the 2 day service with tracking.
It helps protect both the buyer and seller. Also we would probably Paypal the group buy organizer and Paypal charges a 2-3% fee so my initial calculations may need to be increased to cover the Paypal transaction fee.
Divine Sounds in Tampa, FL says he can order them...but not sure when he will get them. I have it on order right now.
