What I haven't been able to determine is the correlation between Ford's numbering scheme for map data (numbers like AB3919H449AB) and Sensis' numbering scheme (Version 20). Does 20 come after AB3919H449AB, or is it the same? Contact forms on the Sensis web site are broken, so I will have to wait for some free time to hang on the phone and try to find out...
The AB part number is the unique FMC part no that were supplied with 2012 cars and the other is unique to Sensis, The new version 20 is the latest maps (late 2013 release) The update looks a pretty good but only if it's free.
