That's how it ought to be.....
I asked my dealer two days ago about updates of the Navi pro. He told me they download the updates (there is an update every fall) directly to the cars hard drive. To do so you have to be authorized and you need a code. Which means that only the dealer can do it
Hence the price is hefty, around here they charge EUR 400 for it. So I have decided to do it only every second year.
So much for "Connected Drive"
