The map update did not finish normally.

I believe you could also pull out the Navigation System. It just needs to not draw power from anything and fully discharge. The mechanic didn't want to risk scratching the upholstery or fiddling with the wires so he pulled the battery.

I really appreciate he thought about something like that. He clearly is a car enthusiast too. Gotta send his dealership manager a letter specifically thanking him.

I'm just going to leave it as is.

From what I can gather: it's either a common failure or just doesn't work as advertised.

Going to email and call Nissan Navigation Support with my complaints to get a refund. I don't think their "As Is" laws apply in my state... also I don't think this update really works, so if they're bricking people's 370Z's (even if its fixable), they ought to stop selling it or make the software work like its supposed to.

I lucked out and didn't have to pay anything because I had an "Extended Service Contract" that I didn't even know about until a few days ago. However I don't think everyone is that lucky... and to be honest, I think they brought in the star mechanic because the dealership didn't want any hassle with ordering and replacing a $6000 part that I wouldn't pay for (I'm covered until December 2019 or 75,000 miles).

If I didn't have that, I'm thinking they would have made me fork over the $$$ for just replace the entire unit. IDK... maybe I'm just too cynical.
