Install Map Update?
Got an email from Navteq about the new version of maps. Ordered the DVD and received it last week. Its labeled "FLM Navigation System/North America/Map Release 9P". I have been through the F-150 Owners Manual and the Sync Navigation manual, but there is no mention of how to install the new version. I sent an email to Navteq, but they said that they don't support the navigation hardware and that I'll have to go to the dealer.
Anyone know how to install this?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but there is no eject button on any of the screens. I have been through every screen so many times. My 2009 Shelby has the flip-down faceplate, but I'm 99% sure the nav system in this truck doesn't work that way. Still can't believe there is no reference at all in the manuals about how to do this!

how to access navigation dvd
on screen, push menu, then push system info tab and at bottom right is the phrase "access navigation cd" push this area and the process should begin. Didn't follow through this morning, too cold, but I believe the screen will fold down and reveal the slot for map cd/dvd behind it, just need to eject old and insert new. May have to do a few things to initialize the new cd---don't remember.

I know the screen you are talking about, and that's the one on the 2007-2009 models. That's the same system I have in the Shelby. The 2010 navigation system is completely different. Guess I'm going to have to call my service rep at the Ford dealer.

The correct map update will come on 1 or 2 DVDs and will replace the map data (and Gracenote DB) on the head unit's hard drive.
The DVD will not remain in the CD/DVD slot when you're done.
