That's what she said. Don't know...But am happy

Just to confirm, all we need is our VIN# and not the code right, as I did not recieve the mailer?

Also, since we are suppose to get 2 free updates (that's what my windown sticker says) and I used only 1 of the free updates so far - is this going to use up any of our free updates?

She asked me if I received a card to which I said NO. I told her I read on the Forum that I should call. She took the VIN, put me on hold and told me I was eligible. She did mumble something about this being my last FREE UPDATE.

I'll run this again.... When I got my post card and called I spoke to a young lady who took my code from the post card and my VIN#. Then she said she would send it out and gave me a confirmation number.

After that I said I would post this info on the HUMMER Forum. I asked her if it was ok to state that if you guys called in that you also would be able to get a free update.

I didn't ask about either H2 or H3. She told me it's ok to post the info and that if the HUMMER owners from the forum called in they would be eligible also to receive a free upgade.

Now as a new HUMMER owner on your first NAV Disc you automaticly get the next years upgrade free. 2008 get's 2009 free and so on. I received my 2007 H3 nav up date in 2008. The next one I would have to buy (2009).

I received the post card saying I was able to get the 2009 free. So I called in and it's on it's way.

That's my story ..and I'm sticken with it.

Got my update disc for my '06 H2 by UPS today. It took 7 days from the time I called and it comes with a comment card. Nice to see the street for the company's new warehouse is now on the Nav disc. All in all, excellent service from GM!
Thanks Viet Nam Vette for the tip and thanks for the service to our country!

Why is it considered a secret, bonus or tip that we are getting these DVD updates? Our darn window stickers said we were to get free updates. On previous year H2s, it said 2 free updates and then later years only stated 1 free update. At first, it was up to the vehicle owner to decide what year they wanted to use one of their updates. Now, they are forcing us to take them before the end of this year or we'll lose our update. For any of you that now how large companies work, that are in financial turmoil - you would know that they are doing this to clear their books before entering the new year. Come on guys, let's get real here: "I used to be able to select the year I wanted my update and now I am forced to take it or lose it!"

In short, they are not doing us any favors, but giving us less flexibility of choice than we had before. They just don't make that many noticable changes on the DVDs from year to year, despite the % of updates they indicate on them. I was not planning on taking my second free update until another year or so.

This program is not anything new and we have posted on it long ago. I had initially published it after beating on GM for a long period to get the process identified for my 2 free updates.

OKay, I am done venting now

I called and the guy on the phone said I was eligable for a free update, said I should recive it in 4-7 days (in stock). Funny thing is on the website it says Im not eligbale. I would suggest that anyone who wants to update take a minute and make the call...... Glad I did.

Thanks Viet Nam Vette

Im not sure if the previous owner got any of the updates, its a 2006 that we picked up used early August of 2007. When we got it the Navi disc was in the box inside the glove compartment, it was scratched to the point where it would read "disc error" so I buffed it with some compound by hand and then used a cleaner wax on it (this works great for scratched discs). It works pretty good but will give the occasional error. DVD's are extremely sensitive to scratches/smudges etc.... and a couple of the scratches were on the deep side. Glad to know Im getting a new fresh disc.

Im shocked the disc had any scratches since the truck was absolutely flawless inside and out when we purchased it. I wont be removing the disc at all since I have ipod integration and have absolutely no need for the disc player.

So, exactly what years are eligible? I'm reading conflicting years.

Is it the 05-06 or the 06-07?

Thanks,

I called twice to make sure. It's '06-'07. If you've got an '05 (like me) your out of luck!

Thanks Summit,

Though I was looking to buy an '06, I ended up with an '05.

Guess I'll just have to break down and buy one.

Got home with my new '06 and as I was looking through the paperwork, I noticed the original sticker.

Point is, on the sticker, it said that all owners would receive up to two free updates for their nav system.

So I guess it was GM's plan to always give away at least two updates.... that's cool.

Does anyone care to donate their old navigation dvd to a guy driving an 03 H2 ??? I put a stock touchscreen navigation unit out of an 05 Escalade in it. . . I am running version 3.0. Any newer version would be greatly appreciated. .
