INTRODUCTION:
On December 14th, 2018, the first TomTom map update for Gen 3.1 Harman navigation equipped vehicles was made available. While the map update process is user-friendly, we ask that retailers assist customers with the map update procedure when requested as a courtesy, an opportunity to build retailer loyalty, enhance customer satisfaction and in keeping with the Love Promise. Retailers may also want to install this map update on any certified pre-owned or pre-owned vehicles in their inventory on their own. The site (dealer.subaru-maps.com) which is unique for retailers, is not the same as what customers will be accessing at home. If Service, Sales, and/or Parts Managers do not have a login, create an account from this page. There may be a short delay while retailer approval is pending. Please note there will be paid subscription Map update starting after December 1, 2021. The change will affect both Map portal and Head Unit dialogue during Map update via USB.
Materials Required:
1. A PC or MAC computer / laptop
2. A valid e-mail address
3. USB 2.0 or 3.0 drive, at least 16GB in size (recommended device brands: SanDisk®, Kingston®, Transcend® or Verbatim®)
