So I stopped by a local Scion dealer today to check out the costs of upgrading the unit. The service advisor didn't know right off hand so he took down some information and said he would call me back.
I just got off the phone and yes the module can be upgraded. I would need to purchase and activation code from scion at 169$ and then there is a two hour labor charge to do the "upgrade" for an additional 200$. On top of that is Sales tax so round numbers puts this upgrade at almost 400$.
So for now I'm going to pass and just enjoy it as it is. One aspect I hadn't investigated yet is that there are two ways to navigate using this unit. There is navigation through the maps encoded in the module and there is navigation to places that use the Aha app. The Aha app gets it's data from a cell phone data signal. There happens to be some significant changes to the freeways in my local area so I will test the navigation to a place using the aha app and see if it's getting a different route. In any event for the short term I'm happy with it as is.
