yes i have a traffic button on mine.
Mine is a factory 09 head unit. are you saying I don't have the newest map DVD?
you have 4.1c?!
The DVD only contains MAPS. the software in your head unit is updated via some other process, it has nothing to do with the consumer map DVDs... (from what I understand, but I may be wrong)...
the device has a drive that holds the firmware to access the XM, maps, etc, you are looking for a firmware update...

Could you PM me your VIN, i want to see if there is anything in there that indicates XM traffic.
Anyone else have an Idea? I doubt using SPS will enable the button on the Nav unit.

stsql: there's a thread by ZX that describes the DVD copy process and your rite, it is DL.
The 4.0c DVD does upgrade the software cuz it allows minimal address entry and XM on the roll and erases all of your address book. :-(

i will have to look for my VIN, I think I have it in an email from GM.
so the firmware is on the DVD in addition to the maps?!
then it should just be a matter of some key combo on the sat nav or a program tool to say 'hey, GPS, install this firmware from the DVD' right?
I looked, the cheapest BluRay burner that can do dual layer DVD is like $150... not bad really, but perhaps I will just borrow a friends DL burner... or hopefully my new dell laptop will have one... then I can play around w/backups of the map DVD
they did do something at the dealer when I first took it in, because yes, now I can scroll XM categories on the move! but I cant scroll my address book, but I can my recent destinations... god this thing is so stupid, who designed it? my 14 year old sister could have written better software...
