Sat Nav SD Card version

[Polystang]

Just interested to know what the latest version of SD card the Australian delivered cars have? I want to check this when I pick up my car but not sure what I will be looking at.

Just recently had my car in for the 3k check up.

They were able to get the DAB working.

I enquired about a map update, as I have noticed that the current GPS map has a few anomalies!

I was advised that there is no update for the mustang as yet! However when available can be purchased from the Ford Au website.

Just had a look at the site. At the bottom of the page under Owner/ Sat Nav map updates. Shows nothing for the mustang but the update for other models is $199!!!

Hey Rob...can you check, and it is in settings-->System----> Help, I think, what application and map version do you have ??

I was told by my dealer that the map updates are free to all the ford range. I assumed it across the board and not just for my dealer.

Was that before he had your signature or after?

 

[Stubai]

I was told map updates were free aswell

 

[Freman]

haha. Before.

We really need an "Alarm Bells" emoticon.

Map updates in the new Mondeo are around the $220 mark so being Sync 2 as well I suspect they will be the same for the Mustang.

Yep mine is the same version!

My dealer just confirmed to me that Sync-2 map updates are currently free. Sync-1 map updates on the other hand do have a charge.

He's trying to to establish whether that policy is changing (since I put doubt in his mind, no doubt).

Here's the quote from email he sent;

I have contacted Ford Motor Company directly, and as I mentioned there is currently no pricing on the Sync 2 system for the map updates.
I am awaiting confirmation in regards to whether there will be a price in the future.

The previous Sync 1 system does have pricing for updates.

I would be very surprised if there isn't a charge for map updates. My understanding is that map data is typically owned by a third party (such as Sensis) and they are the ones who charge the manufacturers for the updates.

I hope I am wrong. I';ve never updated maps in other cars as the costs have been inhibitive.

 

[Freman]

Well I just rang Ford Australia themselves - "Yep we'll be charging for map updates when they become available"

Some of the earlier deliveries in the UK were coming with outdated navigation cards.

Some had success in getting the dealer to swap them to the latest version at no cost.
