Anyone else having issues with their traffic data? I took my F350 into the dealership yesterday hoping they could show me how to get the traffic data to work on my navigation map. Unfortunately, I learned there is a known issue and they are working to find a resolution. It appears there is an issue with the antenna causing the traffic data not to be received.

While this may not be a problem in many rural areas, I depend on this feature every day when commuting for work. In the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, if you take the wrong route without seeing traffic data first, you end up stuck at a stand-still for over am hour in many cases.

I'm using Apple Maps as an alternative but as soon as my phone rings the map disappears. I hope they get this resolved quickly.

 

I don't have an answer to your question but this is a good place to ask another. How long is the free Sirius subscription that comes with the truck. And does that include traffic and weather?

 

5 years and I was told it includes weather and fuel price search.

 

My traffic data works just okay, but I still rely on Waze daily.
Sirius radio is a 6 months trial, and traffic/fuel prices is 5 years. Although I have not been able to figure out where the fuel price data is.

I believe I am having an antenna issue as well. My radio "reacquires signal" about once every 5 miles. This does happen in the same places daily around light rail over crossings and power lines. My other satellite radios in other cars never have an issue.

 

5 years? That's pretty long to be free. Where did you get this info? Just curious and not trying to be a smart ***. That awesome if that's the case. When I bought my ram it was only a year. Uconnect was cool too. It allowed me to locate my truck and set destinations before I was even in the truck through the app. I wish I could do the with my ford. Unfortunately that too was only for a year.

 

The '15 Fusion we'll be trading in for our new SD has the nav system and the traffic/weather subscription is good for 5 years. Not getting the system on the SD, we'll just use Android Auto, but the subscription times are probably the same.

 

The information is on the Ford Sync web section. 5 Years included in price of the system.

 

Well that's awesome! So much new things to learn on this new truck and haven't been able to get details for some stuff. Thanks for the info guys!
