Thanks, @FordIVTteam. I'll take another look at it, @fbov. Navigation was definitely not on the features list on the sticker, but there may be something in the language of the contract that frames it in such a way that I can ask them to replace the card. They have already been really good to work with. I discovered that the emergency tire repair kit was missing and that the glove box light was not turning off (something you would only notice after dark) and they have been great about fixing / replacing both things. Great suggestion, @ScubaDadMiami. That always happens to me with laptops! ~k

Thanks, all! There is definitely no card in the SD slot so I will look into that. It had been a rental and it is possible they removed the card in order to rent out their own nav systems. Or it got lost or someone took it.

Hello! We just bought a 2013 C-MAX SEL with 23K miles. We purchased through Carmax and I am beginning to suspect they haven't sold too many of them as they were unfamiliar with a lot of things we asked about. The car was not advertised as having navigation, but it has the rear view camera, foot-activated liftgate, HD radio and sony stereo which seem to be currently bundled with the navigation option. Was this also the case with the 2013 model? It has a "navigation" menu item in the right instrument panel that goes beyond the compass and shows options for "My Home," "Previous Destinations," "Favorites," and "Nearby POI." When I attempt to select any of these, the system seems to search (a circular progress indicator shows for a few moments) and then return back to the menu as though nothing happened. I looked up the VIN number usuing the site that @fbov mentioned in the welcome thread. It says "Navigation Data - N America/Mexico." I'm wondering if all of this means it does in fact have the navigation but maybe it doesn't have current maps? Or does everyone see that menu in the instrument panel (I have found references to seeing the compass there but can't tell about the other options). Any other ideas? I gave the Sync Destination app a brief go, but it seems way more efficient to just use Waze on my phone while it is connected via BT. I do, however, miss having the maps displayed on the big screen as I had in my Prius. Plus sometimes sattelite navigation is better in areas with sparse cell coverage. I suppose I can always take it to a dealer and ask them, but I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable folks here first! Thanks in advance for any help. ~k

Hello! I just purchased a 2013 C-MAX SEL with 23K miles on it. My husband Cris and I were Prius owners (2006 with 162K miles) and went to Carmax because our high voltage battery was on its way out and we were trying to decide if we wanted to repair or purchase a new one. We unexpectedly went home with the C-MAX instead. We both enjoyed driving it and Carmax had one that had a much nicer set of options than we could afford on the newer Prius. We drove the heck out of the two Toyotas we had with virtually no problems so I admit I'm a bit nervous about the brand switch, but I really did fall in love with the C-Max's amenities and power. Of the two of us, I am the primary driver and found this forum when looking for info about the navigation system. I'll ask my question about the system elsewhere, but just wanted to say "hello" first! ~kim
