I saw something that said to update my Navigation Map for my 2022 MDX Advance. I went to the we site on my computer and entered the VIN and date of my current Map - 2022.08.14. Then it said my subscription had expired. It would cost $119 for one year or $169 for three years. I surely would hate pay for either and find out I still have the latest verion already installed on my car. Does anyone know if there is a later version than mine?

I just called Acura and they said the latest update was: 2023.01.03. I also found out the computer screen said: If your subscription has expired and NOT: Your Subscription has expired.
They also said the map updates are free for 3 years. I was then able to see mine expires on: 2024.07.25

yes, this is my 4th having skipped 2022.10.04. Super pita but this one seemed to be faster than all the others for me, at least seemed that way.

They really need to improve map updates to use wifi overnight...

Attach your usb and go for a 40min drive and don't miss the 3 second pop-up telling you it is complete or you'll just be roaming around.

Just downloaded the latest update. It's 2023.01.03. I wonder why they wait until April to send out email notifications for an update? So bizarre. Also, the download took 1hr 40min. Seems absurd but maybe since they just sent out the email notice, lots of people are pulling down the update. My previous version was 2022.10.04. I had already forgotten the arcane process. It's amazing this isn't more refined. My small company's revenue would be rounding error on Honda's profit. Updating our systems is vastly more elegant. Seriously, this is the best they can do to get customers vehicles updated? Sad really.

And, one more gripe. The instructions to install the update into the vehicle are in a .pdf that is 4 pages long. The English instructions would fit on a single page but, there are links for French pg2 and Espanol pg 3 before the English version then a couple more pages in French and Spanish. Just wow Acura.

TheUpdates are ALWAYS 1 Year behind the current year. So if your version reads 2023, even thought ir is Now “2025” if you update you will ONLY get rhe 2024 version. It will NOT change until the middle to the end of Jan. 2026 to the 2025 version.
This is NOT mentioned, and is a deliberate effort at misinformation on the Acura site!
