I can confirm that a map update is available as is now shown on the Ford website --
http://www.ford.com.au/ownership/sat-nav-map A map update is available. Part Number: AB3919H449AB Please contact your Authorised Ford Dealer for pricing information and to order the update. Cost of this map update is $238.16 - a nice way of Ford adding $200 to the price of your car for those who have purchased their car in the last 12 months and ended up with the previous 3 year old maps. |

I called the dealer i purchased my st from about the update, the service manager told me an update is now available, they told me the car needs to be connected to a cpu & updated, I asked about the cost & he told me it is a warranty recall so my st is booked for this friday for the update.
After booking my car I then called ford au asking about the sat nav update & the person i spoke with told me its a new card plus cpu time. So it will be interesting the outcome, but going by what i was told by the service manager it should be no cost, i will update the outcome after i pick up the car

Ok - I ordered and received the V4 map upgrade. Naturally, took the old SD card out and put in the new SD card. Result - "Error" - wouldn't look at the new card - can't even turn the entertainment unit on at all without getting an error message.
HELP !!! - has anyone gone through what is involved in getting it to accept the new SD card - can't find anything in the Owners Manual about what to do. May have to take it into Ford but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. Thanks |

if It Did I'm Sure if One of us had it we would Share, But Ford have made this extremely hard. I'm Afraid at this stage its about the only way. If there was a way in to the System I would Change it to Sygic Navigation or tomtom etc but its Locked and not easy to get in. For the Cost your better of with a Tomtom Via Ebay for $150 With FREE MAP UPDATES.. I'm Also not happy about this as A new Car should have maps to the Date they were Released for a Minimun. I am sure a Upload on the ford website would make Ford Owners very happy but that does not make them $$$. And they will try every way they can to get a Few $$$ of everyone if they can. $250 Is A Joke. Had it been $50 then it would not be so Bad and everyone would do it. |

I said the same thing to TomTom... I have an early 3.5" model that has no free updates and they keep sending me emails to update for between $70 and $99. 2 problems. 1) The unit cost me $99, and I can buy a basic 4.3" unit with life time updates right now for around the same price. 2) Their updates scheme is actually a bundle of 4 updates over 12 months. Now, if I've been driving around with 4 year old maps without too much issue, why would I then need to get 4 in a year? Had the update been a 1 off fee of $20 for 1 update I would have paid that no problems once a year. I did send them this by email but they didn't reply.....
