Worked, thanks.

I am having trouble browsing the Sirius channels. When i push on Browse, sometimes the main menu will show up right away, but if i choose All Channels, it either locks up or says "Loading" and stays that way. I have only waited for 15 minutes, got tired of it. anyone else have this issue, or a fix for it?

I have this same issue, but i wouldnt call mine a squeak, more of a whistle, and it's there at nearly all speeds, only when turning right. I have an appt. Friday and will update with what I find out. If this was normal or expected, then I would assume it would also happen when turning left, and would have happened day 1.

I also hear a noise only when I turn right, and I think it might be similar to what you are hearing. Very faint, but with radio off and windows down it sounds like it's coming from the driver's side front wheel, but who knows. I am waiting for my first oil change to bring it in and address the BCM double recall and this sound. Let me know if you find anything out.

i think eventually we will be able to use our phones and Google Nav with MFT, rather than any SD based maps....maybe Ford is working on that instead?

"But, the navigation capability will only work if that vehicle was originally ordered with the navigation option..." - which, per Fords media release, is standard in Fords or Lincolns with MyFord Touch or MyLincoln Touch, which come standard on Limiteds and Sports, but not SELs I believe, so if you purchased a Limited, Sport, or SEL and added Navigation, you will have the navigation option. "...and therefore received a SD card upon purchase..." because I did not purchase the $795 SD card, I did not receive one, and no one enabled the navigation in my 2011 Limited with MyFord Touch. Of course none of this matters unless Ford actually decides to do something about it, because the bottom line is even if the capability does exist, if Ford decides not to allow customer to enable it, it basically doesn't exist. If a tree falls in a forest when no one is around....who cares what sound it makes?

I think they intended for it to cost the same either way - "The Real Cost of SD Card Navigation: It May Be No Bargain Most integrated car navigation costs $1,500-$2,000, so Ford's $795 seems a bargain. Here's the fine print: To use SD Card navigation, you need MyFord Touch or MyLincoln Touch, and that's $1,000 or more. On the build-to-order part of Ford's site, MyFord Touch and a rear camera are a $1,000 option for some models of the Ford Edge. Alternatively, some cars may call for the Rapid Spec 202A package, which is $2,500. On high trim-line models such as the Ford Limited and Sport, MyFord Touch comes standard. On the lower and midrange SE and SEL trim lines, cars built without MyFord Touch get a smaller 4.2-inch LCD display (it's called MyFord) that won't work with SD Card navigation but it will work with Ford's TDI (Traffic, Directions and Information) service, which is free for the first three years of ownership."

This article doesn't explain where/how to buy the SD card, but it's some more information that leads me to believe that the navigation can be enabled at any time. Navigation Capabilities on All MyFord Touch Cars - But It Ships Disabled "Navigation Capabilities on All MyFord Touch Cars - But It Ships Disabled Ford explains: When you take delivery of a Ford with MyFord Touch or Lincoln with MyLincoln Touch, you get a vehicle with an 8-inch touchscreen and you also get the navigation application embedded in the car. But it's no good without the navigation SD card, for which you pay $795, and then Ford activates the car and enables navigation. That apparently means you can choose to have factory onboard navigation the day you take delivery. Or, later on, you can choose between factory navigation or a third-party portable GPS system that will be clunky, take up space on the windshield, and cost half what Ford charges. "

"Ford says that its new Secure Digital (SD) card based navigation requires no extra hardware upgrades. So all you’ll have to do is purchase an upgradeable Secure Digital (SD) card-based navigation, which features full graphical maps and turn-by-turn directions, eliminating the need for expensive navigation hardware" "MyFord vehicle interface will have basic graphical turn-by-turn directions standard, with full map-based navigation delivered by Secure Digital (SD) card, eliminating the need for expensive, specialized navigation DVD drives and displays" "Map-based SD card navigation builds on current SYNC Traffic, Directions & Information application, which delivers personalized traffic reports, precise turn-by-turn directions and up-to-date information including business listings, news, sports and weather ““ without the need for built-in navigation systems"

is this the article you are referring to? Navigation Standard "At the 2010 CES show today, Ford announced today that it will offer navigation as standard on all Ford vehicles with MyFord and SYNC – well, almost. Ford says that its new Secure Digital (SD) card based navigation requires no extra hardware upgrades. So all you’ll have to do is purchase an upgradeable Secure Digital (SD) card-based navigation, which features full graphical maps and turn-by-turn directions, eliminating the need for expensive navigation hardware." So according to this, all we need to purchase is the SD card. Unless of course Ford bragged about all of this innovation without actually putting it into production -

Popped a CD into a 2011 Ford Edge Limited, and I expected the artist, title, album, etc. to display but came up as unknown instead. Is this meta data not stored on a CD, or readable by MFT? Or should there be some link to the GraceNote database to get this information?

not sure it's purely financial - heck the stuff they sold me that was already installed doesnt work right i'm sure they don't trust themselves as a company to actually upgrade any of it yet. it's process related. They can control the revenue just like they control it when they install any after market item, there's a model in place (remote start, security, dvd, smartalert gps tracking,....

I haven't seen a "compass screen" in the upper right hand corner, i think mine says "Information" and has sync services, apps/uploads, calender. Has yours always said "compass screen". maybe a difference between US and CAN?

is the sirius travel link only available with nav installed? I'm not sure i have ever seen that on my system.
