you can install your self but must order from dealer, they come on a thumb drive coded to you particular vin and sync esn numbers. Oh yes I know the CS person is full of it. They are just trying to sell maps, also my 2.3 to 3.0 update did mot come with a map update. Iam still at .15 version.
MAP updates have no relation to ESN (XM Radio) or VIN.
MAP updates are independent of SYNC updates/versions - you can update your maps without updating your SYNC (version)

you DO NOT have to engage or order the MAP update from the dealer - IF an update is available you can order it ON-LINE (w/out dealer involvement or knowledge) from the link I provided - Ford & Mercury Map Updates

Unless something has changed in the past month, the USB is vehicle specific which is why the VIN is required.

So there's definitely no SD card slot like there was on the Focus so I did call the parts and service department of my closest dealer who states that the Sync 3 updates also include navigation updates as well. I don't really trust dealers a whole lot but tonight I'll update to 3 from version 2.3 and see if my navigation map version NA 1 15 changes after I do the Sync update. If this is true, then the navigation map updates are free compared to the 2015 Focus update I installed a week ago for $150...
