To be honest,I would expect the OEM's to support map updates for the duration of the vehicle's warranty period or at least one year with the option to upgrade to lifetime for a nominal fee.

These radios are a luxury aftermarket add-on to a vehicle.

My Garmin 3590 CAME with lifetime free updates.

I also bought lifetime updates for my previous 755T at the princely sum of $90 directly from Garmin.

That unit came with one year free.

There was two updates for it before I had to pay for more.

So how badly is this wonder toy out of date on maps by now?

You can buy ONE update for $120 and it even comes with a Bluetooth update!

The people that won't pony up,get buppkiss as well as No Bluetooth update.

That last one should be done through Pioneer.

So if you don't pay,you get to keep using stale maps and dodgy B/Tooth.

Not very good support for what WAS pioneer's flagship.

Maybe they're thinking you'll trade it in for the new model?
