You can have my Nav upgrade disc... I had downloaded it from a friend a few months ago and burned my own, then the official Mazda upgrade showed up in the mail back in November I think (not that I need either copy since it's a one time firmware upgrade). I just need to find it and get your address from you (unless you are ever in the woodfield area during the week).
Also- what's your 8's build date? Mine is a somewhat early build (9/03) and I have the 9.55 HU firmware... I thought yours was fairly new?

thanks g8r and al, i called mazda a little while ago and they are mailing one out to me today. they also told me theyd send the roadside assistance brochure too.
i had no idea (seeing as how i bought the car used) that we got free roadside assistance under warranty! she also said id have to talk to my local dealership about upgrading my HU firmware in my radio ... that sounds like a NO! but we'll see.
Also, i went thru the first post of our events and cleaned it all up. hopefully it is easier to read now and has all the pertinent info that anyone would need. as always, just let me know if there are any events you want me to list. oh btw, i leave the events as PROPOSED until i have a time for people to meet up, then they get changed to SCHEDULED.
and we are getting a group together for the april RA track day. RA's site has links to local hotels if you need accomodations.
