So, in order for the update to apply, you have to delete the music from the car's hard drive and then re-rip it to the car. If it still doesn't work, then it is possible that the CD is newer than the dealer's update, in which case you'd have to wait for yet another update that hopefully has the CD's information in it.
A work around is to use a computer ripping program to make non-protected WMA, AAC, or MP3 files of the new audio CD, include the genre/song/album/artist data with those files, and then upload the files to the car's hard drive. Importing those kinds of files, as opposed to CDs, isn't dependent upon the Gracenote database, so the data should be there.
Hope this helps!

+1, best to rip them to other format and upload into the vehicle...saves HD space as well.
