Mike08EDGE Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Maybe I missed it searching, but I couldn't find my answer so I am asking for help. 2008 Ford Edge LTD with navigation. The dealer gave me the 09 update CD awhile back, but a lot has changed in 5+ years. Looking on ebay and other sites all the new updates appear to be on a SD card. My car doesn't have a SD card slot that I know of, just a USB drive. I called the dealer to see if they have a CD to update the maps to 2014 ones and they had no idea and couldn't find any info. The parts guy took my name and number - we'll see if he calls back. In the meantime, what have other owners of older navigation systems done to update their OEM system? Not interested in the "get a Garmin" answer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Would a USB SD card reader not work? Thinkin' aloud ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike08EDGE Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure that the older system will run the new software. The dealer got back to me and said that he could get a CD update for $200... Found it here (http://allthingsnav.navigation.com/article/save-50-select-ford-lincoln-and-mercury-navigation-system-map-updates) for $149... I'll post my experience with this vendor when it arrives.

thirdgenlxi Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's a DVD based system, so any updates will have to be on DVD. They're all over ebay, or if you go into your settings menu on the nav unit (the screen with the button to eject the nav disc) there is an option there for ordering information. I believe it's a phone number to call 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yes, it's a DVD based system so you need an updated DVD (not CD). The sd cards are only for the 2011s and later with MFT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
