NAV Software Version
 

I have a question for others that have the NAV option....

I took delivery of my Magnum in July....this is the
version of the software...

05.0203.00.091603.0013

Does anyone know if there have been any revisions?

Yes, there is a newer version. The latest Nav DVD part number will end in AC. Yours is an AB version. When I picked up my car which was made in October, it came with the old AB version which has been out since July 2003. My street wasn't on the map even though I've lived on this new street for 3 years. I called Navtech who makes the mapping software for Chrysler and they even said that because of the build date of my car, it should have come with the latest disc, dated July 2004. I even looked at the build date of the nav unit and it was stamped Sept. 2004. When my dealer went to order the proper AC disc for a warranty replacement, Chrysler turned down the claim. So luckily I knew the owner of the dealership and he had a salesman go out to check a new 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it had the AC disc and just exchanged the discs. Now my street is on the latest disc. Seems like Chrysler is cheap (aren't they all) and is trying to use up all the old software on us poor LX owners figuring we will not know any better.
Oh and the new software application version will be: 01.30.00 and the database version will be:
05.0303.00.031604.006 Since you car was built right at the time the new AC disc was produced, you may be out of luck. But its worth a try. Otherwise I believe the AC disc cost around $150.00, but I've seen them on ebay for around $70.00. Good luck!

Inside your DVD jewel case is an order page for a FREE updated disc.

I don't know how the up-date disc works on the Magnum NAV system >>>I already had a Garmin GPS before I got my Magnum and did not get that option on my magnum RT>>>>Garmin will send me an up-grade disc free of charge but to get it launched they want by credit card number,there is a $150.00 charge before they will unlock it so I can down load new street maps from laptop computer to the Garmin chip that goes into GPS. Magnum system may not work this way.

I will be sending in the coupon from the DVD case....however, later on, where can the DVD
be purchased?

RE: NAV Software Version
 

Later built cars don't come with a free order page for the DVD disc.

HemiMag,
The GPS Navigational System and the Sunroof were the only options that I didn't get on my Magnum. I like the adventure and thrill of getting lost, once in a while. Not to mention the priceless gaze I get from my wife while being lost. I love it... Sorry I couldn't help out with your question...

RE: NAV Software Version
 

Any DCX dealer can order a disc for you.
