So... within a year of production end the Z Nav unit is out to pasture....... AND map DVD supply is limited to available inventory only.........

Just one more example how Nissan is washing its hands of 370 support in many areas. So much for the 10 year rule...... on service support.

Us Roadster owners have already been on Nissans short end regarding top parts.... They refuse to sell us any.........

Sounds like you are pissed at Nissan for some reason...

Who going to spend $130+ for a STATIC update, when you can use you phone for "free"?

They are simply wrapping up the NAV business since ALL newer models offer Apple Car Play or Android Auto.

Built in Nav is dead.

Any mfg. has an obligation to support a model at least for a few years after last production. That is standard practice in the industry. The convention is 10 years. I own 3 Nissans and will buy more but they sometimes make bad moves like any other company.

It is irrelevant that built in NAV is dead or not. The 2020/21 Z was sold with an optional built in NAV and the unit can never have any updates????? Makes no sense.

Nice way to treat customers. My Z is 11 years old so I don't really care but the Z customers who have more recent model years are thrown under the bus on this.

You may be right on physical parts, but software is different and there is no requirement to provide map updates.
I suspect no one will notice because the apps do such a better job.

Sorry but the customers of Z's in the last few years who bought the $2k Nav package would most definitely have a different view.

People who buy a brand new 12 year old car already don't make the most appropriate financial decisions to begin with.
