    How did you get the update? House wifi? Ford.c.uk website? 
     

    Big difference from F8? 
     

    I won’t be downloading from a Russian website! Is it finally , officially released in uk now? 

    I downloaded the F9 maps from the official ford site onto a Windows 10 PC and then transferred to a 64Gb USB stick

    Your all lucky at least you got F8 on your car when it was built . A lot of us are stuck on F7 because of same problem at Ford as for getting F9 onto later vehicles.

    I used the ford website. Put in the VIN number, downloaded the files and used a USB drive to install. For the Kuga it’s a massive update as it was on EU 4 prior to F9. So far not found too many differences between F8 and F9 - mainly just small changes to a few roads. Most notable one is the change in road layout around Manchester Airport.

    When I log in it says “your software is up to date.” Even though we all know there’s a newer version.

    Ford Navigation is disappointing. It was one of the reasons I chose the st X too.
