As of this year, their prices jumped up to 358$ which is pretty ridiculous.
Alot of people just ended up sending their units to Alpine which they repaired for 158$. As you can imagine, it didnt work, so I was stuck with a black screen that said 'Please Check Disk' on it at all times. I had disconnected the battery the other day, and when I reconnected it, the navi tryed to download the software off the disk. Sometimes the navi would manage to boot, but as of recent, it just refused to. I started out with disk read errors every now and then, to consistently every time I went in my car.
for anyone who hasn't happen yet, it is just a variation of a disk read error when starting up the navigation. Im sure alot of people are aware of the issues that the Navi dvd Drive eventually develops. There is a little but of supplimentary info that I wrote on this thread: Make sure you are confident with the procedure before just diving in.
