Hey everyone!

Well, the Stinger has been on the American roads for a year now with owners and I've got people asking occasionally about updating their head unit software. So, here is the website where you can purchase your software upgrades!

Thank you! Do you get an alert when the latest versions come out? I'd like to know how old the update they're offering is, for instance. Thanks!

Hey [MENTION=328]Kazz[/MENTION], I don't see anywhere on the website where you can set it up to notify you when updates are released.

I just set a shortcut in Chrome so that I remember every once in a while to check. LOL

In the FAQ section on the website it has that question:

Map Update Overview
Q Will customers be notified when an update is available?
To receive notifications, you can sign up for our newsletter located on our home page or register when you purchase an update.

Can you still get a free update within the first year?

That was never a thing. Just something that they did for a handful of the early adopters that called in and asked for it.

Well, I bought mine in October. I called and politely insisted on a free update. Got it. No issues.

Consider yourself fortunate. Many of us were turned down.
