Also late to the party here.... Has anyone found a resource in the NL to update the Nav and get it working?
Answers to previous questions:
Is it worth it and would you bring your car from the US? 100 percent yes! My car can be purchased in the US new for around 40k. We planned ahead and bought used from dealer w/less than 10k miles. It was 65k in the NL when we checked.
Import was 5k door to door w/paperwork AND we were exempt from tax under the household goods exemption in the NL. (You cannot sell the vehicle in the first year after import but no big deal there.) Insurance before registering was a pain. Also, appointments for inspection/reg were booking one month out. Highly recommend booking while car is still on boat and then cancelling if it doesn't arrive on time. It is not like the MDV in the US.
Dealership in Amsterdam wouldn't touch the required changes but recommended a BMW specialist in Leiden. About 20 clicks west of us. Radio worked right off the boat and I don't care about satellite radio. SOS -- who cares, just pick up a cheap auto club membership with your insurance if you're in to that. Fog lamps were $600. They tried to jack us for a new speedometer and I just changed the digital one to kilometers. Have not been able to figure out Nav software update -- need help with that one!
