SYNC 2 Maps Card question

[mikegf]

HI All,

I've just purchased a 2016 Mondeo which has the SYNC 2 system.

The SD card for  Navigation is labelled F5, so I assume its a few years out of date.

I can see various online sites offering F8 or F9 cards cheaply...has anyone used these sites?   Can they be recommended or are they scams?

Thoughts and comments welcome!

 

cheers

Guess no one has used these sites...will give it a go and report back!

 

cheers

Sorry for the slow reply.  Your post reminded me that mine was still on F8.

I always buy from sellers on eBay, but they tend to come & go.  On Tuesday I ordered one from eBay seller druz39. ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/druz39?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754 ).  It arrived half an hour ago.  I've just tried it in the car and all seems well....

Cheers...will give that a try....do you just slot the card in and magic happens, or do I need to drop down through menus to get it to load?

 

thanks

Just slot it in - deep magic.

Thanks...card arrived today and installed happily.   

 

Setting up navigation is v clunky though isn't it?   lots of stabbing at the screen....its a shame there is no phone interface.   

Also, when you type in a postcode it offers the street name and asks for the house number....but with my parents postcode it will not let me type in the house number (38), those numbers are greyed out.....

 

 

cheers
