Same process as WILDB... Put the card in with the stereo on, it cracks it, press ok, then it downloads an update to the unit. Happy days.

I was also told by the dealer that when CRC were telling people to download the update to the SD card via computer, this was legit, for a short while, then they changed the process back to having to order a replacement SD card (no one knew why this process was changed).

While $240 seems a bit steep for an update, I'll probably still give in, and pay it, if I have to travel anywhere. Seems a bit silly having an aftermarket satnav stuck to the windscreen where there is a built in one sitting there already
Most Smart phones have really good Sat nav these days, Using Sygic on my Samsung s3 beats the ford sat nav hands down. Pity it couldn't be installed over the Ford System
