NEW MFT UPDATE IS OUT!!!!

Recommended Posts

Did your dealer charge you for it?

 

 

Mine says he has to since he needs to pay for it when ordering. He does acknowledge he would reimburse me when I bring in the one I "should" receive from Ford.

Nope, they just took my vin number and my mileage and gave me a card

They can't charge for it. They give it to you and the file with ford for a replacement using your vin.

Hope you're right. I'll mention this to my dealer. Would make sense that if Ford sees a Nav card replacement through a dealet that it would cancel the mailing of the package to the owner.

Why is the previous Nav SD card not compatible with 3.0.2? Anybody know?

 

I've searched all I could but found no explanation.

Because they changed the Nav software and the map vendor.

So, Telenav was the navigation software provider (GUI) for versions 2.x on the 2011 Fords and Navteq was the map data provider.

 

We also know that Telenav is still the SW provider for 3.0.2. Press releases mention Telenav are still using Navteq raw maps.

 

Anybody have specifics on what actually changed with 3.0.2 that made the old SD card incompatible?

Actually, TeleAtlas was the map provider for the old cards. Navteq is new.

I too am interested. Wondering if future updates will also be like this so anyone with nav would have to pay for upgraded maps if they want to update the MFT base software. I highly doubt Ford will be so nice in the future and supply free map updates again. Tough if they want to I am fine with that.

Navteq was NOT the map provider for 2011 and 2012 models. It was telenav. The software remains telenav apparently.

Agreed, just found confirmation regarding TeleAtlas in an article TMCNet.

 

 

 

So now it all makes sense, thanks.
