"2011 Ford Mustang: GPS Review and How To Get It"

2011 Ford Mustang GPS Features

I have seen all sorts of 2011 Ford Mustangs V6 and V8 with the GPS in the center consul, and I have seen a bunch without them, how do you get it and how much does it cost?

Answer: You have to buy the Premium Mustang in either the V6 or GT versions. You then get the Rapid Spec packages that come standard with the Navigation system and Sirius radio/Sirius Travel Link. It doesn’t look like it’s available in the base V6 or GT models. The Ford website touts the Sirius radio over the Navigation system but they seem to go hand in hand to get that screen. You get a free 6 month subscription to Sirius but after that you are responsible for paying for the service and it automatically renews unless you cancel.
The SYNC system also says it gives you traffic, directions and info but from what I can see it doesn’t automatically give you that screen-you have to buy the navigation system/Sirius which comes in the Premium Mustangs only. The SYNC uses the factory radio to give you directions and whatnot. There’s 3 years free service for the SYNC.
It looks like the built in nav/Sirius screen is basically a promotion to get you to buy a Sirius subscription after the 6 month freebie period.
