On my Titanium everything is updated by satellite now. Now I have Sirius radio including weather, traffic, gas prices, movies, etc. turned on (Travelink) and that is all a subscription but highly negotiable. Everything is integrated with Navigation. Maps are always current from Sat. I normally pay about 1/2 of what Sirius is asking for an annual. I paid about $15 per month for the entire year.
My only complaint is now there is so much information. The Navigation information alone is very comprehensive with road signs and speeds, etc. but very useful but add in traffic, animated radar weather, gas stations, restaurants, etc.. Then add in the radar and sensors, blind spot sensors, cross traffic, proximity sensors, cameras, and it gets to be a bit much sometimes. Everything turns itself on and off like lights of course and wipers. You can't turn the car over in a high speed turn because it will sense it and apply brakes if that isn't scary. This stuff would just confuse my mother and she would crash in less than a block.


I heard soon in the US the side mirrors will be replaced by more cameras.
