The American GPS system is based on a 10 bit time calendar. The calendar timing runs out on 6 April 2019. Many, if not most, GPS units have firmware that requires a reset to prevent positioning errors. I have several handheld GPS units. Those companies have already contacted me about downloading firmware updates to reset their time calendars.
Does FORD plan on having firmware updates for the NOKIA/HERE/GARMIN units in our S550 Mustangs?

Update is only needed for GPS units made before 2010. GPS units from 2010 and after should have the necessary programming to handle the reset.
