The new Q7 is terrible. New Jags are lovely. I'm not sold on the MX5 either which is one of the worst in the new Mazda range.

Ya'll seen this?

http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/fords-free-map-deal-20160615-gpjder.html

Ford owners with vehicles equipped with the company's latest Sync2 connectivity are now eligible for free yearly satellite-navigation upgrades

Looks like you new blokes with Sync 3 coming miss out on free maps because it's not mentioned ;)

:lol:

Anyways that's pretty neat.

There is of course another way that you could read that. What if the article is incorrect in mentioning Sync 2 and should read Sync 3, given that Sync 2 isn't the latest connectivity.

That could mean that Sync 2 users miss out.

I'd prefer to just see it free for all. Time will tell!

(I was joking)

Yes it's likely to be a free for all, and Sync2 as we all know isn't the latest and greatest but these articles get the little details wrong all the time.

The big detail is free shit, and everybody loves free shit!

Sync 3 isnt in Aussie fords yet, and wont be until 2017
Mustang will be the first in Aus to have sync 3.

So yeh the article got that right. However it isnt free for all sync 2 cars, it is part of the annual service. "The upgrades will occur as part of a normal vehicle service"

Yeh, but wasnt talking about build/model years, just when sync 3 will be in Aussie Fords.

edit: Ok I was wrong, the focus will come out with it after july. Anyways, It's beside the main point of the article that the "free update" with a service will be for sync 2.

Until Sync 3 is available.

This is a Drive not Ford. Ford will be planning to roll this into Sync 3. At the moment there are no Sync 3 vehicles on the road until later in the year.

Ask your Ford dealer once your new car arrives, I will.

Of course that's possible. I was only commenting on the media report, anything more is only speculation.
