jlbbc1975 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hello Folks Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. I have a question about adding navigation to my 2018 Ford Edge Titanium. The vehicle is equipped with an 8" touch screen, backup camera, and Sync 3 system but does not have the factory navigation system. I was told it can be added, via 4DTECH, for $1300. A little steep just to add navigation. But someone in the family has to have it. Anyway, I did speak 4DTECH about adding it. They said it was a plug and play installment. They said it is basically changing a pre-programmed module. I asked if I could buy the module with the navigation capability from Ford and have it programmed. The rep told me that you can buy the module with navigation from Ford, but Ford does not have the capability to program the new module. When you buy the kit from 4DTECH you have to supply them with your VIN so they can pre-program the new navigation module. I would think that if I supply my VIN to Ford they would have the same information that 4DTECH has access to program the new module with navigation. Doesn't make any since. Has anyone been down this road? Is 4DTECH the only people that can program the new module? Appreciate any help with this concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 U can get parts via ebay and program yourself using forscan for way cheaper. Though any navigation on your phone via apple car play/android auto will be 100x better than the oem navigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Ford doesn't offer it as an upgrade, so you can't go to a dealer & ask them to do it. Like what Nick stated above, you can use Android Auto or Apple Car Play. If factory navigation is a must (though with outdated maps) you either so it yourself or go with expensive solutions. Another source for a factory navigation module programmed ready is from Jason who is a member here, @jmr061. You can check his website. He has Sync 3 Nav modules for less than half the price you mentioned from 4DTECH. Edited December 28, 2018 by omar302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
