Howdy from Susanne at NAVTV ((NAVTV GROUP BUY!))

[SUSANNE]

I have ordered a 2011 Raptor CrewCab with factory navigation.
If you can make sure that my system will also accept European navigation maps and European FM frequencies i am in, even if it will cost a little more

My interface is very cool but it doesn't change the capabilities of the radio that you are looking for. I can give you the ability to add an aftermarket garmin interface to your radio screen and they have European mapping.

Hi guys,

I have been traveling and my internet wasn't working. Does anyone have any questions or does anyone else want to join the group buy? We still need 5 people so we can process the group!

Can you explain the functionality of this Garmin interface and how it is connected to the system?
Could I use an externel FM-tuner with European frequency steps and connect it to an input?

Here is the info for the garmin. It will display the nav from the screen you already have and you will control it via a remote that comes with the garmin unit. And it comes with its own speaker.

Since the factory NAV runs Garmin anyway, i am wondering if i could load European map software directly.

Not sure. Is your sync radio a European model? I think you need to check with Ford or garmin to get this answer.

No, it is the standard US version. I tried to check with Ford and Garmin, but the people I spoke weren't the ones that had real knowledge on the system and weren't able to answer my questions. I understood that it must be possible, but without someone that knows all about the standard Ford equipment it will probably be very hard to get somewhere.

I wish I had more info for you. Have you called the dealer where you puchased the truck from?

 

[SUSANNE]

I HAVE GREAT NEWS! The boss said pull the trigger at 15. So I will be calling everyone tomorrow for their credit card info. If anyone else is still on the fence this is the day to make up your mind.

Yes I did, but they couldn't help me. I know it can be done, just need to find a specialist who knows how.
I will probably start a new thread, since this discussion is not really related to this thread anymore.
Want to thank you for your help!!
