I wonder if anyone could verify on a larger scale what nav card is supposed to be shipped with the 2015 F-150. You'd think it would be universally one or the other, and retroactive if different.

I contacted my salesman last week and he said I could get the A6 for $153. Again, not a big deal, but in my opinion there shouldn't be two different nav cards shipped out on the same model year truck.

How do you tell what one you have??

So far the nav system is a pain in the butt, voice recognition and doing as asked not very good, not mapping to route like the mapping program on iPhone 6....easier and faster using the iPhone than the nav system...

I'm not a hundred percent sure but the details if you build a truck on ford.com(which I have a few thousand times) says w/ 5 years of service. Not sure what that means exactly. On my wife's edge we bought they did send us a new map card twice I believe.

The 5 Years of Service is for the SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link which are Sirius addons. They are both ok. I think the Sirius Radio has been only ok as well. For music, FM Radio seems to have a lot better music than Sirius. I was really surprised.

Locate the SD Card Slot under the radio near the USB Ports and pop out the card. It will say either A5 or A6 (latest revision). They have been shipping with both. I am sure they are simply exhausting the A5s so if you haven't bought your truck, it will likely come with A6.

My Truck was build in Late January (27th I believe) and came with the A6 card... It might be interesting to see who has the earliest build with a A6. If your truck was built after that date, I would see your dealer for a replacement.... Its possible that the dealer is playing games, and swapping the Map set with older trucks.

I'm sure it's the early builds that got the A5. My truck was built 12/02/14.

There should be a date when the switch over occurred / A6 was released. It is also possible that someone swapped it during a test drive / inspection of it, if it was not a custom ordered truck.
