I remember the pre-delivery guy installing it when I went to go and pick the car up. It came with a "Whereis" (Sensis) map memory card in dvd style case. The memory card was inserted into a slot in near the tunnel on the passenger side footwell. You can buy updated maps, but in all honesty at $199 they are a rip off. You are better off getting an aftermarket GPS (Not Garmin though- they are sh!t!!) that comes with lifetime maps.https://www.ford.whereis.com.au/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=50&cat=FG+Falcon Edited 04/05/14 11:34 PM by CLuTZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to check that it's compatible with the Ford's firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keen but not sure if it will work? Would work out a lot cheaper if a few people were keen to do this.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
