I have a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium sedan which features a in car GPS system. This has the capability for real time traffic reports and ability to change routing if there are incidents.
I have set it up according to the hand book but nothing happens other than it will give you your standard GPS directions and information. Can you tell me if it is possible to subscribe to a particular provider, or is this GPS not capable of receiving the traffic and real time information in New Zealand. This GPS uses a SD card map which is purchased in Australia through the Ford NZ web site.

Thanks

Unfortunately, it seems that Ford have not signed up to any provider in New Zealand.
Some of the car manufactruer's systems, eg those offered by Toyota, Hyundai, or systems powered by Navman, Garman etc, are compatible with Suna, but I'm not sure if it's possible to have a one-off connection via your Ford system.
However, to answer your question, for now your Ford system will not operate.
