The latest and last CNDV-1100HD, 2012 TOMTOM MAP UPGRADE for PIONEER AVIC-HD1, HD1BT, AVIC-HD3, HD3BT AND AVIC-HD3-II.

That's a real shame as these are excellent bits of kit. I am afraid that Pioneer are no longer supporting these units or the Avic X1 range so this is the last map update they are doing. The proper hard drives are becoming extremely difficult to obtain. Although Pioneer claims that the AVIC-HD1BT is for the European-only non-'luxury car market' driver (sorry, us Lexus-driving Yankees will have to suffer), it still doesn't come cheap: €2,500 ($3,145).Item: 302899130865 2012 MAP UPGRADE PIONEER AVIC-HD1BT AVIC-HD3BT AND AVIC-HD3-II TOSHIBA 60gb HDD.

Well, save for that last request, apparently plain English queries (or 13 other languges) to a GPS stystem are now possible thanks to software by IBM built onto Pioneer's new AVIC-HD1BT nav unit. We'd much prefer to use a phrase like 'Find me a hotel in Paris in the seizième arrondissement, play Serge Gainsbourg's ' Je t'aime' and adjust for mood lighting - s'il te plaît' and have our ride respond instantly.

Yeah, we love GPS around here as much as the next guy, but it really doesn't impress our lady friends too much when our mellifluous prose gets interrupted by Cro Magnon-like gestures while we have to ask for directions on our nav units.
