06 9-3 Aero Navagation system
 

I have a 06 9-3 Aero with a factory installed Nav system. When I was told that I would be receiving updated DVD maps during the warranty period. A year later I was told that I was misinformed and that is not true. Furthermore (and far worse) I was told by both the GM Nav disc center and SAAB that the navigation system will no longer be supported and owners would not even be able to purchase updated DVD’s. Needless to say I am flabbergasted by this and am driving around with very old data. Has anyone else run up against this?

Have you tried sending a letter to corporate?

RE: 06 9-3 Aero Navagation system
 

I did indeed. I called them and opened a ticket with them twice. Each time they told me that they WILL NOT be supporting the Nav system. They refered me back to the dealer and he did not have a clue.

As much as I hate to say this, but you will probably need to file a complaint with the BBB.

I sent you a PM of how u can get the NAV info ...idk if it will help or not

It may be headed in a much nosier direction. Thanks.

Thanks. Do you know if this is the latest info? I tried a disc from an 08 and it was not compatable with the system.

well, if noise makes GM fix things it's for the good. This wouldn't have heppened in a pre-GM saab.

did you ever get the navi fixed?

RE: 06 9-3 Aero Navagation system
 

It's not broken I just can not get an updated data DVD. Both Saab and GM claim the system is not and will not be supported.

As a matter of fact i was recently on a new part of a freeway here in CA that was not in my syetem. All I got was an arrow in the middle of nothing until it found the old freeway.

ohh man that is a bummer..well I guess the ultimate question is?as much as you would hate to do this...but maybe get a garmin or a tomtom or something..and just not use your saabs navi...they can be affordable and they update 24/7 so you never miss a road...but that is your call man..but if your a traveler who relies on navi..maybe that will be the way to go?

ask saab for the difference between a car with navigation and one without back. That probably won't happen though.

RE: 06 9-3 Aero Navagation system
 

That's an option but to be honest It cost 2k extra for the Nav system when I bought the car new. I am not very happy about GM/SAAB's answers and I really am not pleased with having to spend for a new system when the car is still under warranty. They can not and should not be allowed to get away with this type of deception! There are laws in CA and other states that protect consumers from just these issues.

I have to imagine that there are more customers with the same issue and I would love to hear from them!

I just picked up my 06 9-3 from the dealer. One of the items they were to address was the Nav update. I walked out with a number that I was to call for the update. Well upon calling it (GM) I was told there is no update and no disc I can even purchase. They do have one for the 9-5 and 9-7 though (as if I give a rat's about that). I asked about other GM cars and from what I understand every other GM car has the updates available. That's a lot of cars. Just not mine.
