I just bought my X on Dec 23rd -- the dealer had it for 8 days to fix what the CPO inspector missed and now they want to charge me between $500 - $600 for and ungrade nav OS ??

Please let me know what needs to be done (if anything) as a DIY that isnt going to kill my warranty or pocketbook. I have read the threads on the site and unfortunately with a MAC computer, I am limited as to what I can burn, etc.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
