Buying a 370z soon, need help

What's different about an aftermarket ddin solution? Let me tell you a little bit about how the OEM audio industry works.... OEM audio will ALWAYS be inferior to aftermarket solutions because of the certification and in house testing that is required. OEM ICE goes through a 3-4 year certification program and then it's implemented in cars for another 5-7 years. Which means if you're buying a late model year car where the nav system was rolled out 4 years prior you're looking at a 7-10 year old product.

Aftermarket on the other hand does not need to go through the same reliability and certifications that the OE ones do because they are not form factor specific. They are able to provide the latest entertainment solutions that some OEM cars STILL do not provide (cadillac is a stellar example of this)

So it's not just the maps that are outdated; the entire unit is a relic even when it hits showroom floors. Now maybe you're not interested in all the latest capabilities that after market solutions offer; and that's fine. This is just to explain to you why OEM HUs are outdated from the get go. Your inability to transition to a new HU is also an issue with nissan specifically (if you have the OEM nav).
