Sat Nav SD cards

Postby Pasty_PFC » Sat Apr 10, 2021 2:31 pm

I just bought a transit custom 2.2 290 TDCi 2014. It has sat nav but it isn’t working. There is a message saying it needs an SD card. Is there any recommendation on what to buy? I see on EBay there are cards ranging from £20 to £170.

32gb SD card would work sufficient.
also majority of devices have maximum capacity sd card that you can insert if you buy larger sd card e.g. 64gb/128gb your device might not accept/recognize.

Don't you need a specific SD card with the Ford satnav software loaded onto it :?: :?

It's a pre-loaded sd card with the map info on it you need, most of the fleabay cards are old ones that have been replaced and probably 2 or more years old so you might be missing the odd bypass or a new road or 2
