    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    I appreciate your input as to your success with an A8 SD card from Ford that cost 150 bucks but my question still remains out there wondering if anyone has ever experienced an SD card (clone or otherwise) that when viewed on a PC caused it to then be recognized by SYNC and worked for extended...

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    Well, my A8 Nav Sd Card was not recognized once again. It has been days since it didn't work and I even posted here that it seemed that updating my SYNC software to 3.10 seemed to resolve the problem. I was so happy for a few days, but the problem is back and once again after many tries of...

    Rearview Camera Problems

    Peter, Thank you again as you are exactly why I joined this site. Letting me know that with the many examples you have read here that none of them were wiring problems changes my approach. I thought one time I read somewhere the grounding of the camera was on the body of the car somewhere and...

    Rearview Camera Problems

    I'm not looking for a diagram to only mechanically troubleshoot the harness/connector. I need to know what pins are +12vdc, and ground, and video output, and any other possible "input/outputs" signals the camera and the car might share. Knowing what the signals/voltages at the camera are...

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    Thanks to many of you for your input. I finally got my 2013 Explorer software updated to 3.10 ( or so it says ) and my NAV A8 SD card seems to be working fine now. That might be good to know for anyone trying to update NAV SD cards in older vehicles. I still hold my breath every time I start...

    Rearview Camera Problems

    It seems that my backup camera fails more and more often just a few seconds after working when I put the car in reverse. The image just seems to deteriorate, grow dim with static, and then go black. Only then does the display say there is no camera available. Does anyone know where I can find...

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    I must apologize again. I have two versions of the NAV card, A3 and A8. When I said that my NAV card was being detected and read through my USB port via a USB to SD adapter, I was WRONG. It was still reading the SD port which contained my old A3 card which has always worked and I...

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    Thank you Peter. I am indeed trying to get an A8 card to work in my 2013 Explorer. I learned an interesting thing "on the way to the forum" this morning. I used a USB to SD Card adapter to connect my A8 card via the spare USB connector in my car and IT WORKED. It might take a few days to see...

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    I just learned how to view my software info in the vehicle. CPU S/W version 4.3.13171-PRODUCT and MAC app version 3.48.9. Not sure what either of these mean. As regards the camera, I am putting off having the dealer replace the camera because they want more than $600 to replace it. The...

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    My online Owner record says I am up to date with SYNC2 v3.6. I recently had the vehicle in the dealership for a rear camera failure and they did a lot of "resetting/updating" trying to get it to work. I didn't try to update my NAV SD card to A8 until some weeks after that.

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    I may try to do this after I am more sure I will not do harm to the NAV system/software in my Explorer (too expensive to risk). Will post here about anything I learn. Thinking about trying a USB to SD card reader adapter to see if the system recognizes it as a NAV card via the USB input.

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    I beg your pardon. As you said, It just says "Insert Navigation Card" up in the right corner of my screen. Then when the message shows up in the center of the screen giving me a choice that I don't understand I think it referred to the SD card. Sorry for the confusion. I have tried two SD...

    A8 SD Card for Navigation

    Have problem with new replacement A8 SD Card installation. My 2013 Explorer intermittently does not detect my new Navigation SD card as being plugged in so I receive a notice to "Insert new sd card" although it is installed. Intermittently, upon future starts it may or may not work. My...
