I just checked their site, and the lifetime membership option is no longer available. They are only offering $50 per year now. I called to verify and I did give MSN direct a piece of my mind. I am still on my free trial, and was expeciting to renew for $99 lifetime...

I was able to find that Best buy still has one-time prepaid cards available for $129.95 with free shipping and no tax.

I just ordered it.

The fine print says:

Restrictions for the One-time Navigation Service Subscription Card:

Service is not transferable to a new owner if you sell or give away the device, and may not be transferred to a different device. Service is not guaranteed after January 1, 2014.

Service is not guaranteed after January 1, 2014.

Not to be a cynic but I am assuming that in 2014 the service will change or something so we will need to renew or upgrade memberships. But at that point the services we are buying today will probably be lame in comparison to what will be current so we will probably want to upgrade. But if I am correct, $130 is a for three years is still a better deal then $150 (also assuming the yearly price stays at $50). So now I am just arguing with my self.

My question has more to do with the unit itself rather than the adaptors but does Best Buy carry this model unit Z110BT? Reason I ask is because my friend works for Best Buy and they usually get a pretty good discount on things. Let me know if you guys know anything. Thanks

Usually not, at least not all Best Buys.

Every Best Buy and Fry's I've gone into here in San Diego have said that they carry the unit, but none of them had one on display.

You are guarenteed service for atleast 4 years for the $130 prepaid card. 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. I thought it was worth the savings.

Thanks for the post garret. This is a real bummer, as I am in the same boat with the free trial.

WOW I really need to learn how to count, that or sober up when I am on here... Ya I agree you will likely save with this "bulk" membership and with that forth year (I am so stupid), it sounds even better. I am just grumbling about what will happen in '14 and their term "Lifetime". Actually I am thinking of getting one of those from BB now even though I probably wont have the Z110 till later this year.

I grabbed my MSN Card at Best Buy yesterday no problem. Now, I just have to decide if I want to keep the Z110BT for sure or not.

I dont think the disclaimer indicates you wont get service any longer after 2014. It indicates to me that this offer may not be valid after 2014.

I took it to mean that they likely have contracts with companies providing the data that expire in 2014 and that is why the service might go away then.... "Lifetime" means lifetime of a great dane i guess

Ordered a $129.99 lifetime card from Best Buy Friday. Got an email this morning saying the order has been canceled and my funds have been refunded to the card that was used. Then I went to Bestbuy.com to try and find them again, and sure enough, not available. In fact, it doesn't look like you can find anything for MSN Direct on the Best Buy site now. Their splash page is still up but it goes nowhere. Great, guess I'll be returning that ND-MDT10...

I ordered mine on Thursday and on Friday I recieved shipping confirmation with tracking number. It is due to arrive tomorrow. Now I wonder it it will even work when I try to put the code in...

Just found a store in South Denver that has them. $129.99+tax. I have one on hold, but I can pick up as many as they have if I have interested parties that want me to get them one.

I hope I don't regret doing this, but call/text me before 11:30 MST today if you want me to get you one. I'd ask that all payments be paypal and include enough to cover the transfer fees and mailing it to you.

If this goes against any rules of the forums I'll remove it immediately.

I got one from Best Buy in Houston last Friday and had no problems setting it up online. So if I go buy these all up from the Best Buy I could make some money.. LOL just kidding guys.. I will go and see tonight if they still have them if so I will buy a few some and get them for any of you that want them. I will post tonight and you can PM me if you want them.. just paypal me the cost plus $5. for my time and postage they are yours.

I think the code will work, but you have to get ahold of one of these cards before they are gone. I noticed that MSN direct has the $50 per year for all of their devices, not just the Pioneer one.

Glad I got my order in, it is currently in Maumee OH and will be delivered on the 21st!

Hey everyone. I did find a bunch of them at the 6th of 6 Best Buy's I called in the Denver area today. Picked up one for me, one for VBlue42 and have 5 more. If anyone wants one, just let me know. Cost is $129.99 + $6.00 (about $5.00 for paypal fees and $1.00 for a stamp and envelope). 5 left, get them while your their hot. Again, I hope this doesn't violate any forums rules. I just realized that I almost missed out on this deal and didn't want anyone else too as well. My email is [email protected]. Email me first if you are interested and I'll get things rolling. First pay, first serve.

PS - for what it's worth, the 5 stores that I called that did not have them checked and said there are no more on order and they do not currently have the capability of ordering one. I'm can't confirm that these are not longer going to be stocked at Best Buy, but judging by the signs, it looks like MSN is getting out of the lifetime subscription all together. And since I'm not selling these for profit, should enforce that I'm not doing this for the buck, just to make sure that everyone that wants one, gets one (or at least the first 5 people that call me). Cheers everyone.

I would recommend adding a couple dollars for insurance. These things are like cash. You could also just exchange the card numbers over email or phone after payment. No need to actually ship the card...

Sorry guys went last night and the two local Best Buys had pulled them from the shelf per MSN. Looks like they realized there was more money to make. Personally I think Pioneer made a big mistake pulling the option for XM traffic, as I am not very pleased with MSN. But I am sure MSN through money at them and got the deal.

Excellent point. So be it. Anyone that needs one, just let me know. I can send you the number and then destroy the card. Or can I even scan an image of the scratched off card to you to so you can see it's legit. I'll be sure to destroy all cards after their numbers are divulges, so don't delete your email

Edit: No longer selling my MSN card.

I've decided to sell my Z110BT. I have an MSN Lifetime Card which is not activated and the code has not been scratched off. I'll send the code for $130 flat. Just looking to come close to breaking even at this point.

Sorry to hear youre unhappy w/ it.....What unit are you getting to replace it?

I actually just got a DNX6140 from my neighbor in exchange for installing another head unit in his other car. The car that the DNX6140 came out of is getting sold so he's giving it to me as payment for installing/uninstalling everything for him. At this point, I can't justify the money I just spent on the Z110/MSN Tuner/Subscription card when I have a perfectly good Kenwood/Garmin that was pretty much FREE in my eyes.

So it's not so much that you are unhappy with it, just makes more sense to take the "free" setup. Do I understand you right?

Edit: NVM, now that I see all these awesome deals coming out for the Z, there's no way I'm ever going to make back anything close to what I paid for it. So, I'll be keeping the Z and probably selling the KW.
