Default Finally picked up an older D series Nav+ on the cheap. Is there any way to get up to date map info?

Since all the discs I see for sale seem to be from a few years back, I am wondering how I might go about getting up to date info. Also, I'm still trying to navigate the various Nav+ forums, and I am still baffled as to how to get a simple a/v connection to the Nav+. Do the Dietz units work in the older D-series Nav+?

Thanks for any help..... I know the consensus is that the RNS-E is the way to go, but the D Nav matches my 2001 interior better and the deal was GOOD!

Default already exchanged emails with ya. Here's an a/v interface that will work.

...but they are discontinued.

As for the mapdisks, the latest D-navi release was Jan 2005.

Good luck!
