Sat Nav touch screen not working

[tooley]

I read somewhere a fairly in-depth technical article (can't remember where) written by some bloke apparently in the know about Sync 2, that stated (unequivocally) that it's not in any way possible to upgrade them to a Sync 3 as it's a completely different coding/operating system (probably uses different control modules/wiring loom).

I'm sure it said something about one system having been written by Microsoft (arrrrgh :frusty and the other by the people who do the software for Blackberry (arrrrrrrgh :headbonk.

Please do jump in here and correct me if you are aware otherwise as I remember starting to count the hairs coming out of my ears about halfway through reading the article as it was getting a bit nerdy!

That was me ( or at least I posted about Microsoft and Blackbery)

It's not just a software update because the hardware is different for sync 3 as well, but if they're having to swap the module because it's faulty then it should be possible

If they give you a SYNC 3 upgrade, my SYNC 2 shall magically stop working also.

How easy do we assume it is to get a replacement screen unit for an Audi/Mercedes/BMW? Probably not; and at the cost of a small house.

A lot less than 3 months and if it was to take that long, from my experience, they would loan a car of an equivalent standard.

Cost is irrelevant as its under warranty.

I would make some phone calls to the states and see if you can locate the part. I am not suggesting to buy it but then go back to the dealer and say you can get it.

I do not believe a car in the US would be waiting this long and it only takes a day for air freight.

Really does seem like these dealers do not give a toss.

Unfortunately, there only seem to be a few with issues at the moment but if the numbers go up, you should talk to Ford as a group, not individuals.
