The map will always work (as I can attest to from my 2019 Ecosport), but you won't get updates on road changes or restaurants, gas stations etc. Every two or three years, you can get an update and feel ok about it.
Sometimes the angle just doesn't feel right. I added 3/4 of an inch in spacers under the rear of the seat. That changes the angle just enough to take pressure off the lower thigh.
I don't like it, but I bought a 2026 anyway. It looks as if they didn't have time to do it right, so they just slapped a panel over what was there. It isn't integrated into the front panel; it just sits on top.
