e350 coupe Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Today I got my nice new blue package with the Ford MFT update. As promised with my dealer I turned in the new Sat/Map A-3 card and he gave me my old A-1 card. What I noticed was that the card is 16 GB in size and would be useful for a music card when I do not need the Sat or could be used with a USB reader for pictures and music in your car. The card is marked as Read only but usually this is done by sliding the small upwards piece on the left side of the card down. In this case the switch had no effect, and when inserted into a usb card reader it gives "info" as read/write but I was unable to format it with my computer no matter how many variations I tried. Anyone, have any idea, on how to erase this card, so that it can be recycled for other purposes, rather then just throw it in the garbage.

Dingo Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I meant Ford corporate. That's why they ask you to send them back so that they can reformat them and give them to charities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
