Navigation 2016 Map Update DVD only $55?

[thegreatgazoo]

I just searched on Ebay for the navigation update DVD for my '05, part #
86271-GEN04-15. Found many for sale for only $55 (and even less), but on most toyota OEM parts online sellers it's about $169! Have anyone bought update DVDs from these cheap EBay sellers? Real OEM or just a pirated copy? I'm so surprised at the price difference.

And will the non-OEM copies keep working? The DVD lives in a tough place, subject to large temperature and humidity changes. Will the copied disks warp and jam, or flake off coating and mess up the player. I'm not a big fan of the standard $169 OEM price, but given the really high cost of player R&R, I go with OEM when I update.

I'm running a pirated copy purchased off ebay last year (think I paid under $50 for it). Mine works exactly as advertised, but I may have got lucky. I was sure to keep the old OEM DVD in case issues popped up.

For $169 I can easily buy a Garmin GPS with free lifetime map updates, v.s. a DVD for this year's map update only. The decision is clear to me.

I have a 2013 pirated version - works fine. But, I don't use it anymore. Waze is sooooo much better. I really hope manufacturers stop putting nav systems in cars.

i rarely if ever use in-dash navi. it's easier to use google maps, or look up contacts' addresses if in town, on phone and factory navi is basically worthless if off road.

+1 for a working pirated copy. Have only had it a couple months but it functions just as advertised.

Can you folks with pirated copies let us know what eBay buyers you used? I've been hesitant on pirated copy since I don't know anyone that has purchased one and been happy. Mine is a 2002 and it's never been updated - I would just like to have the road I live on to show up on my map but don't want to spend a fortune. I find it good for reference but use my phone for navigation.
Thanks

I bought mine from user dvdnavman. He doesn't have anything listed on ebay currently so I'm not sure this is much of a help. For reference, I paid $45 for the DVD ~6 months ago.
