Sandisk's MSRPs are unbelievable. I think I paid $80 for that 16Gb at Best Buy.

Just found this deal at Adorama through slickdeals...32GB Sandisk Extreme Class 10 for $53. If you go for 16GB you can get a super talent for 15 or Kingston for 20

The sandisk deal is great. I just ordered 2 for my hd camcorder. I use the faster one for the Nikon for continuous shooting.

People with nav get an SD card and a flash drive.

 

Incidentally, I wonder if copying the SD card's contents onto a faster card would speed up the nav?

 

 

Hey Dingo,

 

Where did you hear Nav users also get an SD card? That's awesome if its true!

 

Also everyone should hold on jacking this thread into an SD card review. Lets wait until we have confirmation you can copy it to a new card. I'm guessing you can't, but have never tried it myself. Its likely VIN locked, so it could be possible as long as it's only used in the same vehicle.

 

If this doesn't work, it may be possible with an actual disk copy utility. There could be sector information on the SD card that won't copy using standard methods.

Jaclyn At Ford No problem, Ron.

 

@Carrie & Nicole -

 

Customers that purchased the navigation option will receive a new and improved SD-card in their Performance Upgrade packet. :)

 

Give me a shout if you have additional questions.

Sweeeeeet!!! As long as they don't give us Canucks a hard time. I'm wondering if we'll get any of our missing services (in Canada)...and our web browser. I want the web browser! :rockon:

The new Nav card is a big plus. I will really appreciate it.

It would be nice if it were to land on Christmas... highly doubted though.

 

 

Took the Fiesta in today to get the snow tires put on from the Canadian winter promotion

 

The service manager talked to me about my Edge and said that he is expecting the new upgrade on January 13, 2012.

 

He said I can expect a letter from Ford early in the new year re: update.

Nice news. Hopefully it will be the same here in the US

Did anyone get a chance to try the faster SD card to see if it made any difference? Also found another deal on SD cards if anyone is interested. (2) Sandisk 16GB Class 10 SD cards for $45.

I just spoke to MFT tech support and they said the new software on USB probably won't be in January but should be in first quarter.

I'm not surprised for one single moment...!!!!

Problems with this system have been evident for close to two years now.

Do you really believe it takes this long to correct, geez this is not space travel we're talking here

No guys we're in this for the long haul with Ford I'm afraid

Have you ever managed an extremely large and complex software project?

Easy now, no need to attack the other poster.

 

Since Ford has never officially communicated a target date other than 1st quarter 2012 for the release, they may still make it.

 

I think people's hopes were raised when there was an 'unofficial' statement from a dealer (earlier in the thread) that it was going to be released mid-January.

 

I'll believe it when I see it, until then, it's just vapor-ware.

That wasn't an attack and you don't need to defend everyone.

Neither do you. I was just expressing an opinion.

 

Feel free to take this offline if you like.

Last week, when I picked up my new MKX, the service rep said that they just got notification that the update will be available in January.

So far, no problems with my new set of wheels, but the update is supposed to have friendlier user screens, and much faster !
