Default Problems with 2013 ford my touch nav..

Hello first post. Just bought a 2013 king ranch solid black 4x4 ecoboost. Love the truck but the navigation is haywire! Will tell me to turn into the water while on a bridge and will show me off of the road that I am currently on.. Anyone else having this problem?? Truck had 650 miles on it, Ford had no fix yet that they know of-

Mods include: bilstein 5100 front cranked all the way up, 1'' lift in rear, and 295 65 20 trail grapplers (not a typo) on stock chrome KR 20's. Discount was suppose to order 295 60 20 and accidentally ordered 65's. They barely rub in reverse on the plastic crap in the front. NO a-arm rubbing whatsoever even at full lock. I was as shocked as you are reading this.. They measure 35.5'' tall. Getting 13.2 mpg when cold and 14.1mpg when warm.

I'm unsure of the issues, but I know MFT has had many issues in many cars.. MFT is not very reliable lol... I have to ask, can we see some pics of the truck? Sounds amazing!!

MFT has its issues but is generally quite good. I've sold lots of MFT vehicles and if it was a problematic as some people make it out to be I'd be hearing about it. The first thing to try is a reboot of the system.

On the rare occasion I've had to do it, I just pull the fuses related to the MFT/Radio, key the ignition on to make sure it doesn't power up, key off and replace the fuses. Start the vehicle again and wait a minute or two for the MFT computer to reboot.

There is a second method involving a USB stick and a "Reboot App" from http://outofmytouch.com/reboot.html

I have a USB stick set up but havn't had occasion to try it.

I can't help but think that your not knowing how to post pictures might be related to the problems you are having with MyTouch.

First of all thank you The Black 2011 FX4 for your help.

Second of all let me apologize for offending eye.surgeon with my sub-par technology skills..

The only options that I have are post reply and quick reply. None of which offer a plus sign. I have AT&T.

Do you have the app? If you're not on the app, that's what you need, makes it really easy.. And don't worry about your skills, it took me a month to figure out how to post pictures using the app, I've been there!
