What I'm wondering is why Lotus started installing the Alpine again in the later cars, the Pioneer is easier to operate and program? When I went to the dealer for the first service a couple of weeks ago and told them many of the Evora's have problems with the subwoofer from the factory as mine did, the sales manager started checking all seven of the Evora's he had in the showroom to see if their subwoofers worked. Several cars had Pioneer systems and it was easy to get to the "settings" and check the subs, I believe two out of four were bad. When he tried to find the "settings" on the Alpine he nor I could find it in the menu. He tried for a half hour and gave up, he said he would try again after loading the DVD on his computer and watching how to do it. I thought Lotus got rid of the Alpine for two reasons, first, they are much harder to program and second, I heard the nav was not upgradeable to later info. Have they fixed those problems or is the later models improved? :huh:
I updated the nav on my INA-W900 last fall (cost $99 for the card -direct from Alpine) so I would think the newer units can be updated too.
