so is this something that the dealer can update on my 2011 with nav/sync when i bring it in for free schedule service . Or is there a software update for my model?
if you have not already done so set up a free account at "sync my ride". All you need is the vin.
There is a section on updates. The website is fairly useful.
There is also an app. For your smartphone that lets you communicate with sync directly via the app. I use the apps to link with google maps and send locations directly to sync.
Just play with it!
