But, your post gives me pause as I don't want to miss out on an upgraded Navigation System by a matter of days. I could wait a couple of weeks before I give Spartansburg the go-ahead...
Can you please elaborate on when this upgrade will be implemented? Did you mean August, 2013, or August 13th, 2013?
Do you have any links or further info?
Greatly appreciated, and glad I found this forum.  |
