So is your car running in the garage or driveway?

Was wondering if anybody just received a letter from Ford that states, the update must be done at the dealer, and did you receive a SD card only.

I am schedule for an update at my dealer, but skeptical that it will be programmed Via the IDS computer as required for all who must go to a dealer.

Per Ford Memo dated: March 5, 2012

"FSA 11A01 - Retail customers ineligible for self-installation who must return to the dealer for the PERFORMANCE UPGRADE (with and without navigation)
- These customers will receive only a letter directing them to return to the dealer to have the PERFORMANCE UPGRADE performed, as they have a version of MyFord/MyLincoln Touch software which requires a system reflash administered through the dealer’s IDS tool. Dealers
will use their seed stock of SD cards for navigation-equipped units"

"The 11A01 reprogramming procedure with IDS requires use of a computer, a battery charger, and the regular attention of the servicing technician throughout the download process."

I never received this letter, I checked sync website and it said that the dealership has to do the install. Called Ford who verified this. I then contacted my dealership the earliest they can get me in is April 7th. It will take several hours to do but they did confirm that they will provide the SD card for navigation.

Fun stuff
