Me too! I'm looking for the DVD set. Of course there is now the just-released 2011-2012 version...

Specifically, I'm looking for this one.

(sorry I don't see an edit button)
The DVD set I just linked above seem to be part number T1000-16868 . I found this in the URL of the navigation site, not from Volvo.

I just bought the 3 DVD 2011-2012 set from NAVTEQ for $221 including shipping and tax. It arrived today and when I looked at the discs under the Part No. is a date 2009Q3. I'm calling them tomorrow as it sure doesn't seem right to me. - Klaus

I can appreciate you are unpleasantly surpised
The 2010-2011 edition has indeed a database of 3rd quarter 2009
There is absolutely nothing to get excited about. This is normal and in fact a very decent example of branding an update
If you take the 2011 BMW editions, they have a Q2-2009 database which is a lot wore than the Volvo data

Thanks for the info Gazo. I'm new to this stuff and expected the discs to say Q3-2011. I did call today and the lady at Navteq told me that the discs I received were indeed the latest release from July 2011. She couldn't tell me much else and insisted that the 2009 was a copyright date. So does this mean that the basic data - the mapping (streets and roads) - is from Q3-2009 and that the POIs are updated to July 2011? Thanks - Klaus

hey Klaus,,,what year/model is your car? I also need a copy of the 3 disc set for my 2006 xc90. Would be interested in joining the group buy if there is one..

Thanks!
