NA (Canada) 2018 FORD EDGE SEL AWD, European maps installation question

Hello,
My 2018 Ford Edge SEL AWD was manufactured in Canada. I’ve updated it numerous times using Syn3 without any problems. I do have one question and hope some of you would be able to help me with this, or at least shed some light on the subject. I’ve recently moved back to Europe (after 23 years in Canada), and I’ve shipped my SUV here as well.
I am wondering, even though it’s North American made car, is it possible to get maps for Europe installed? So far, I’ve only had United States, Canada and Mexico installed, working perfectly fine, but this time I wonder if there is any chance to get European maps.

Thank you so much in advance!

All Edge’s were made in Canada on the same line as the Flex and MKT.

As far as adding EU maps to a NA APIM you cant do it. The Memory size in the EU APIM’s is double the size of the NA APIM’S.

You could look at install a cut down version of the maps though. Their might be some GPS antenna issues along with ACM issues if your anting DAB. Your TCU will also not work in Europe.

Thank you for your kind reply, greatly appreciated. Just as I thought. I am not so concerned about TCU, nor DAB (only using my USB key with music I like to listen to, or connect my Android phone through USB). I was just hoping I would be able to install European maps (not the whole Europe, just Spain, Croatia, Italy and France).

I used Android connected through USB, and then either Google maps or Waze, so I can see everything on my big screen. It’s kind of clunky, so I was really hoping there is a way to get few EU countries available on my Ford maps.

Thank you again! All the best!

Read thru this and see if it will help you…
