so we all know that there is a certain level of interoperability between fords and Mazdas of a certain age range...
My Friend recently acquired a 2012 Mazda 3i, with their nav System.
I recently updated the maps in my C-max, replacing the A10 card I put in when i bought it in early '19, with the newer A11.
any chance the Ford Card would work with the Mazda system? (I found the manual for the nav system, online, and the maps are on an SD card for this gen of vehicle) if so i'd Gladly give him the A10.. out dated yes, but less so than what is likely in the car... (my C-max Still had it's original A3 Card when i bought it...)

and yes, I know there is one man on this board who would likely know this particular thing off hand, but , for whatever reason, i didn't feel like PM'm him..
see what any others might have to say....
 
No, they are completely different systems.
since it's a relatively old system at this point ( looks to be 2-3 providers back by what I'm seeing) is there even a relatively recent update available for this old Denso system?
All the online sources just say to see your Mazda Dealer.
not even sure I have a local Mazda Dealer at this point... I believe the nearest one is an hour away...
