I purchased my Pulsar, brand new in November last year. A few weeks ago I had a display appear on the Sat Nav to the effect that a map update was available, to contact my dealership.
I called them today to be informed that it's chargeable. Not too amused, I asked how much it is, assuming a few quid - "About £120" was the reply.
If that's not taking the ****, I don't know what is. My Garmin satnav cost less than that with lifetime updates.
I have written to Nissan and will await their answer with interest.
Sat Nav Map Update - Nissan taking the ****
eBay, about £55 for 2016/2017 with speed cams.

Just received this from Nissan Customer Service -
Thank you for contacting Nissan Customer Services regarding your Nissan Pulsar.
Your vehicle will be covered with Map Updates, free of charge for the first 3 years following registration. As the program is due to launch in the coming weeks, we are keeping a record of all customers who are eligible for the update to ensure they are sent the latest SD card, free of charge, as soon as stock is available (estimated April).
I wonder if my local dealership wasn't aware of this, or if they just saw the opportunity to make a few quid?

I imagine it's anyone who owns a pulsar which was first registered within the allowed time period
Agreed, but there was nothing in the message I received to indicate what the allowed time period is. To be fair, there's no reason they should say anything about that, other than to indicate that I qualify.Particulate Driver wrote:I imagine it's anyone who owns a pulsar which was first registered within the allowed time period

Hi kt53, yes it seems like you've caught Nissan in mid plan as it were. My best effort at what they're driving at ( forgive the pun ) is that when the next/first? update is due, they will contact relevant pulsar owners and send them the free sd card. I'm hoping that this will be anyone who owns a pulsar that had Connect2 installed at registration.
