I have a 2016 xlt. It has the touch screen how do I go about getting navigation for it or can I even do that.

 

I opted not to get nav. I have a smart phone, and navigate with it. Only thing I had to get is a phone holder that clips to the air vent. Works excellent and saved me $795 for navigation.

 

Find a nav apim or update to 2.2 and use CarPlay or android auto

 

Zackly !!

If you have an android phone just update Sync 3 to version 2.2 and use Android Auto. If you have an Apple phone, update Sync 3 to version 2.2 and install the new USB hub for $60 and use Car Play.

 

That is exactly what I did. Instead of $900 for Fords Nav system, I spent $60 bucks and some time and ended up with a great looking system that works well. For everyday use, it is a very strong solution.

But, Apple Maps (which is required to use CarPlay) isn't a great Map app.

1) It doesn't give you updated directions quickly if you "miss" a turn. (Example: I get off the highway to get gas or miss a turn on purpose b/c traffic).

2) it seems to like u-turns for some reason when they aren't necessary.

3) if you don't have a good phone signal - it can get lost easily - when I take my truck hunting, it gets lost in the wood or on "real" roads that go through the hills in rural/hilly areas.

4) it seems to adjust for traffic, but the feedback isn't really clear.

Solutions:

1) for long trips or trips into the woods, I use my dash mounted Garmin. You simply can't beat them at GPS usability and the quality of their maps.

2) for trips to/from work, I usually use the WAZE App b/c of its interactive traffic updates. Since I keep my phone on a Rokform dash mount anyway, this works very well in a basically hands free setup.

 

Rather than give an opinion of what you should do I opted to just give you what you asked for.

That seems very pricey. I always thought that part was around $800?

 

Yeah I sold a few on here for $600 each

 

The dealer added the $1,300 nav to my XLT [ wife wanted it ] and charged us $1,100 for it. We have used it twice--- it works fairly well.

 

Added a sync 3 with nav to for sale section
