I think mine is from 2003. (But, I am in Northern Europe, not the US).

I think I'll see if I can buy an updated disk. Mine was apparently made in
2001 and put into the 2002 Audi S8. The problem in the U.S. on the west
coast is that new streets are being added, and older streets are blocked off
with developments.
Also, I like the way my wife's new 2005 Lexus RX330 Nav system puts gas
stations, restaurants and the like onto a map that you can see. I think
that can be done with the Nav Plus version, but I don't have that. I have
the one that shows up in the center information screen in between the
speedometer and the tachometer. Not much info.
But that is a really SMALL issue. Over-all this is a fabulous car, with
terrific interior, including the best seats in a sedan I've ever used.
Feels like something that should be in a Porsche Turbo...
