Because of the cost of the disc (list is well over $200), navi buyers need to make sure the car has the latest disc installed when they buy the car. If it doesn't, you need to complain and get an upgrade, because that's the only way you'll get it free.
FWIW, Honda/Acura works the same way, with updates in September. Honda's lists for $185.
