Touch Screen Sat Nav

Hi All, first post here on this imfomative forum.

Not yet, but nearly, the owner of an S Max (not sure which version yet). Just doing a little homework here . . . B)

My question is how do you upgrade / keep up to date the built in 7 inch touch screen Sat Nav unit ?

Also are there any nasty suprises in store for owning a car with DVD player / touch screen sat nav etc etc ?

In general, they seem pretty good. Right ???

Also, can you fit a tow bar to an S Max that has the body kit fitted. Ford only do a detachable version, and say it can't be fitted with body kit. What about reversing sensors, will these be effected by tow bar ?

I am looking to keep this car for many years, and carry all five of around the country, so any advice / experiences would be welcome.

Cheers

    you will need an upgrade disc from the dealer to keep up to date,you can read about the common problems here i know it from a mondeo forum but a lot of the systems are the same

    as for the towbar this may help, if not the company will be able to tell you if you give them a quick bell.
