Ok...found this
NVD-W901 Map Update
Alpine's website is horrible. I couldn't find this link from the INA-W900's support page. Google found it. I'm trying to see if this is a newer version that what's on the current Alpine.

I'm not close to my Roadster. Does anyone know the map version number of non-updated IVA-NAV-10? The website says nothing about release date. Trying to see if this is actually new version before I spend $100. I doubt Tesla updates the maps for free but that might be worth asking too before buying the update.
I e-mailed someone at the Chicago store (service) so we'll see what they say.

This is what mine says:
Applications Version: R4.30.1014 (1.001.000)
Data Version: NA.25.40.091019
Navigation ID: W100110811
Helpful? Thanks for doing this.
I heard back from Tesla. They said there is a new software update and that they think it is a new map but that he would contact their service person and let me know. It looks like new map above is included in the annual service so will save you $100 if you can wait.

I e-mailed one of the Chicago Tesla people and that's what he said. He said he wasn't sure if it was just a software update (he might be confusing it with the new firmware update that's out) or if it included new maps (I sent him the link about with the maps for $99) but that he would check with a service person tomorrow. I'd be surprised if it was included with annual service but figured it couldn't hurt to wait and find out.

I called Alpine tech support. The map update below is newer than the one installed on the unit.
I went ahead and ordered it. They send you a DVD instead of letting you download it. Companies still do that?=)
I confirmed it with Tesla. They won't install the map update during the service (think it takes a long time) and it's also not free. I just ordered it so will report back.

I'm intrigued. Why don't you try it out and let us know how it works. Specifically check into an iPad/iPhone solution. As for the Android tablet solution, who even has one of those? I heard they sold about 10 Android tablets before taking them off the market.
EDIT: Oh and before TEG or someone quotes me actual sales figures, I said "about 10," so it might have been a couple more, like 12 or so. :wink:

Any update? Is this only a map upgrade? What I really want is a firmware upgrade, maybe something to prevent my screen from blanking out, or keep the radio from locking up after I listen to sat.
There is a firmware update on Alpine's website for free. The map update includes the map update and also an update of the interface as well. It seems like a minor update but does include one nice feature. To cancel a route, you only need to tap the screen twice instead of 5-6 times with the prior version.

When I downloaded the firmware, there was also a PDF file with instructions. Then I looked at the info screen on my radio and the update had already been applied! So check first, you might not need it.
