tcasten23@gmail.com Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Shouldn't the dealer be able to reprogram or turn on the navigation? I'd pay $$$ for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatinitup Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's not as easy as just sticking int he Nav SD card and it working.. You don't have the GPS equipment that is installed in the vehicle that talks with the MFT head unit. The SD CARD just holds the software and maps..

Yes, you'd pay $$$ for that, but if Ford allowed this, then a lot of unscrupulous dealers would not pay the $$$ for it, they'd just order cars without Nav, convert them to Nav and charge the customers. The software vendors would then not get their proper license fees. Until Ford figures out a way to properly "police" Nav conversions, you're unfortunately out of luck.

Sean Hobson Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 My dealer told me it would cost $1100 to add nav. to my 2011 SEL w/o Nav. He said they would have to replace the cpu with one that had nav. I'm not sure how involved this is but for now I will just use my phone w/ mount and Google maps through bluetooth. It works quite well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARR142 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 With a Nexus 7 and some velcro around the edges of the center screen benzel and the outside rearedges of the tablet. With google map and navigate, I am very happy with the results. Only negative is to turn on/off the cooled/heated seats feature. Every other feature has a work around.
