Hello all...

I just purchased a 2004 Cayenne S, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. It seems to be a great combination of a sports car and an SUV.

One frustration is that the OEM navigation system doesn't recognize many streets in my town, including my neighborhood (which is over 40 years old). Does anybody know if there is an update available? If not, does anybody know if one is coming soon?

Thanks very much for your help.

You might wish to do a search on this topic as we have beat it to death but let me bring you up to speed.

You have a "CD" based navigation system - there was one update released in 2005 - since then there have been no "CD" based updates nor are any expected.

I did the search, and it seems that several people are unhappy with the CD based system. It seems OK to me when it recognizes the street you are on, but is is lacking so much data! The DVD-based system in our HUMMER is far superior.

I hope NavTeq is able to do something - an update would be nice.

Thanks again for the help.

I had ZERO issues with the CD based system - just wished I got have gotten an updated CD.

Otherwise the system is fine!

sorry.. old habit.. couldn't help myself..

Dear Dennis, new forum-buddy.... there are some threads that detail the sorry state of old Nav disks and the PAG mentality about your neighborhoods appearance on your CD based NAV system.. it involves fingers..wait, one finger....

So, in summation.. You're really, really, really (did I say really) going to like your current OEM out-dated navigation system... or not!

Maybe we need a theme song... like for threads about extended warranties... we have Hawaii Five-O... hmmmm, what could NAV theme song be?? and the trailer hitch song?

come on.... I know you can do it!!

I've been on your side of this too, so I understand. I've been a regular on the Saabnet boards for the last few years to discuss my 2004 Saab 9-5 Aero. The Cayenne is replacing it.

Well, I guess I'll learn the Nav song and sing it with everybody else. I know where my house is anyway, and I didn't buy the Cayenne for the nav system.

Thanks for the welcome!

Dennis - you will LOVE it here - seriously - there are lot's of great information and discussions and we have lots of fun too!!!!!!

Dennis C

It's always best to go right to the source for accurate information - the owners themselves!

I'm sure I'll have plenty of additional questions once I get to know the car a little better.

Fortunately, based on what I've read about the Cayenne, I have a warranty that covers me bumper-to-bumper until 80K miles.

Again, I'm only a week into owning my first Porsche, but I'm lovin' it so far!

skl

I don't even have my Cayenne anymore (of course, neither does Larry) but we all visit here because it's so much FUN....

ltc

That's only because he died....and took the Cayenne with him.

True, as long as you don't take your Cayenne too seriously.

I too no longer have my Cayenne yet return in hopes of visitations by the Spirit of Larry...
