If your VIN shows it's eligible for the recall but you have not gotten a letter you need to make sure your address was entered correctly by the selling dealer so that you get future notices. Sounds like your dealer isn't too sharp. The updates have to be downloaded from Ford so it depends on how the dealer does it and the speed of their internet connection and whether it fails midstream.

Since it shows the correct current direction it doesn't sound like a calibration error. It just sounds like they reversed the display order for the adjacent directions.

How do you know you're affected by the recall if you didn't get the letter?

http://www.motorcraftservice.com -> owner guides This link has more documents available including the MFT and quick start guides.

It's not rust - it's surface contamination on top of the paint. If it was rust then it would bubble under the paint.

Could be rail dust. Easily removed with a clay bar.

If it's still on then there is a problem. You could try disconnecting the negative battery cable but it's probably a loose connection somewhere.

The owner's manual lists all the bulbs.

The owner's guide has basic maintenance information but if you're looking for a true shop manual the answer is no.

No. You must do it every time you access the map for the first time. You can avoid it by not leaving it on the map display when you shut off the car.

That does appear to be correct. Either the employee that said that was wrong or I misinterpreted.

Of course they are. It would be stupid for Ford not to do that.

Check your owner's manual/nav guide and see if you can rip cds to the built-in jukebox. That's the hard drive system. I don't think my 08 Limited has it.

I assume he's a Ford employee so why would he do that? And even if he was willing to give you the software and you could buy the SD card on ebay, it still won't work because the SD card has to be married to the software.

And why would Mike give Nav to someone who didn't pay for it (even if he could)?

Where is it going to store the files while it downloads?

Most incentives are only valid if they're in effect when you take delivery, not when you order. Unless this was a special offer of some type from Ford then you may not be eligible for that rebate. Better double check with the dealer.

Just a clarification - "this forum" refers to the Sync community owner to owner forum, not the Edge forum.

What was the $1500 incentive? Are you in Canada or the U.S.? You order the brochure from the Ford website.

Could be the cooling fan continuing to run for a few minutes.

Yes - Tulsa said to go to the ford owner to owner forum and make the request there to Mike and provided the link. Nobody here can get it for you.

There are 2 ways to look for posts to read and comment on. First you can go to each subforum and look at what is posted in each one. They're listed in order by the most recent post. You can click on the ones you want to read and leave comments using the Reply button to reply to a specific post or use Add Reply at the bottom to add a new reply. The most convenient way is to just use the View New Content link in the upper right. This shows you all topics that have new posts since the last time you logged in. If you use this each time then you will see everything that's new without having to look through each subforum. Click the square on the left of each topic and it will take you to the first unread post in that thread. And you already know how to create a new thread. Welcome!

The directions are in post #1.

For the 57th time - the dealer can only activate it if it was installed at the factory. The dealers do not have the ability to install it and activate it later. If and when Ford decides to make that option available to dealers to do this aftermarket there will be a factory SD Nav option. There isn't one yet. End of story.

You need the dealer tools to update the module - you can't DIY.
