I found the DVDs at HELM now, they're in the aftermarket section not the
DIY section.  It's $400 for the set, everything from 1998 through 2006.
Nice but a little pricey for me.  They should sell them unlocked for
particular models to the DIY crowd.  I'm guessing the ones on EBAY were
swiped from a dealer update, especially since they tend to be 2004 or
2005 releases.

thanks,
