Yeah


Yeah on my 2011 there was an on-screen button in one of the menus to eject nav disc and it caused the screen to flip down exposing another DVD slot behind the screen.

My 2012 doesn't, it has a hard drive and map update discs get fed into the top CD/DVD slot and copies to the hard drive then removed.
where do you get the map update discs from? - for the 2012

Up here to the right
Those don't work on the 2012+

I used one of those on my 2011, but the hard drive based units need the dvd coded to the vin of the truck to install correctly.

A 2012 nav is not an upgrade in 2020. Look for a high quality aftermarket unit that can bluetooth stream (the 2012 cant), and has amp/speaker/sub connections...

This is very true. By today's standards it is limited and lacking!

Compared to my 2001 factory stereo it's an upgrade though...lol

Lol, got the teenager an 07 accord, and the $180 pioneer I installed has a better back up image than my 18 burb (plus it streams BT). Upgrading the old double din head unit is so easy with the harnesses & dash kits available. New HU, speakers, amp, and a sub is a single afternoon project, and well worth it...

The Bose A2DP streaming module handles music streaming and integrates seamlessly into our trucks. The older version operates off 5V aka USB power source too. It allows your phone to pair up to the trucks oem BT & A2DP simultaneously. The Bose will pause the music and resume when a call comes in via BT. It’s quite a marvel for being almost a decade old and has no finicky issues pairing up.

I’ve had too many smash & grabs over high end audio equipment to go down that road again. As far as VIN locking, nothing is VIN locked on NNBS anymore with Vendors offering unlock services or inexpensive, cloned Tech II available.

Wait, the 12-14 NNBS Navi update DVD for HDD units is one time only VIN locked to the head unit?
