I have been told that the first updatable Possibility is on the A-D systems installed in the 2004 models. Earlier cars have the strictly A system and will never be updated by Motorolla. (Motorolla said the market is too small to support the expense of engineering) I have heard that some overseas company is toying with a digital retrofit. Cell towers are all going digital by 2009 (Per FCC) so maybe Microsoft may have an answer
My opinion is that something may be done in 2008 but probably not before.
The 2008 On star cars have the new nav system which is all digital (no screen display, voice only) but it will not work with my neighbors 06 SAAB because it is an A-D system. He has been promised help in the fall this year.
