Well, not sure that's a good defense given that they selected to implement it this way rather than using a method that would be user serviceable. In the end, I wouldn't mind the charge if it were reasonable for the amount of work involved in doing the update. Also, the radio is a Pioneer, not some proprietary brand (like Delco for GM) and Pioneer does provide free updates for at least some of their radios.
