(Probably a daft) question about sat nav

Hey all - newbie here!

I've got a lovely 2013 Mondeo with a built-in, touch screen, Ford sat nav, and I want to buy an updated sd card. Local dealership saying I can only use a Ford one at £243-odd. Question is, can I buy a TomTom one and use that?

 

Thanks in advance!

    The Tomtom SD specific to this Ford unit, yes. Not a Tomtom SD for any Tomtom device.

    You can buy an SD-card from TomTom but it needs to be the correct type for your vehicle.

    The Ford SatNav systems use maps that are based on TeleAtlas base maps. TeleAtlas is currently owned by TomTom so TomTom also sells SD-cards for most Ford SatNav systems. The only difference between the original Ford SD card and the TomTom SD-card is the label on the card.

    Note that you can also buy an original SD-card from a Ford dealer outside the UK. Dutch Ford dealers for example sell the original SD-card  (western Europe and Turkey) for a fixed price of €99,-. Some dealers even sell them for €89,-. This is a lot cheaper than an SD-card from TomTom.

    So how do I find out which model card for my vehicle? The dealer gave me a number but it's (I think) their catalogue(?) number rather than a model number.
