Finally purchased a 2013 SEL


Recommended Posts

Hello,

after years of threatening to buy an EDGE, i finally sold my 2006 Murano with a quarter million miles on it and upgraded to a 2013 SEL with 21K miles on it. I am very happy with my purchase and I am curious to know if there are any special steps I need to take when syncing my new car. The vehicle had one owner previously. It is my understanding that syncing is a process and takes a bit of time. Any other comments/advice would be appreciated too.

So my EDGE does not have an SD Navigation card. It seems as if I have an option to purchase an SD card then pay a $60 annual fee to have this feature or it looks as if Sirius has a subscription that includes a navigation feature. Can anyone comment on which navigation option they prefer? Thanks

What year? MFT or sync 3? Sync 3 doesn't use sd cards. MFT does but unless the vehicle came with nav from the factory adding the card won't work without replacing the apim.

 

Sirius gives you turn by turn directions instead of a map. Or just use your smartphone for free.

2013 has MyFord or MyFord Touch. If you have the small screen (non-touch) then it is Sync with MyFord only, if it is the 8" touch screen then it is MyFord Touch.

 

The subscription nav is a voice turn by turn navigation, the 8" touch screen could also have offline full navigation. What does your 8" screen show in the top right corner? It should be when of these:

1- "Information": then it does not have navigation.

2-"Insert SD Card": Then you need the maps sd card to get NAV working.

3-"Navigation": then you should have NAV working.

Its definitely the MyFord Touch and it has "Information" in the top right screen. I assume this means I don't need to worry about getting an SD card? Thanks for your response Omar.

My '11 Limited has MFT with the 8" screen with nav. I don't have Sirius radio tho. Don't care for it as I don't listen to, nor need, that much content. The previous owner had Sirius and MAN, when they (Sirius) find out that the subscription has expired/lapsed they bug the livin' heck out of you to re-subscribe! Phone calls, email, texts, snail mail, jeez.. leave me alone! If I want your product I'll let you know!!

I thought you had to actually swap the apim with one that had factory nav.

 

That was the earlier method. Then they figured out it out. The short version, change as built data to enable NAV, install the NAV application & License/hack, finally, get a maps SD card. Really simple, unfortunately for me, Ford does not have a maps card for the GCC/Middle East!

 

Edit: Didn't see candurin's post above!! he already answered.
