Do not buy a FORD if this is your 1st car. Fords are not for newbies.

FORD stand for... Fix Or Repair Daily.

I know, I have a Ford Everest and a Ford Focus.

I love the ride, comfort, and the challenges.

I don't know much about GPS systems, so I apologise if this is a stupid question.

I'm wondering if you can buy a portable GPS system and have the maps run through your car's infotainment system. So, instead of looking at the screen on the actual portable GPS system, I could just look at it on the screen of my car's infotainment system. I would prefer not to have to look at another screen or take up the limited space I have with a portable GPS system.

I know I can do this with my phone and Android Auto, but I read that you can run into data problems (as well as connectivity issues) doing this. Plus, I could just leave the GPS system in the car and not have to worry about it.

Also, does a phone GPS system actually use up a lot of data?

Thanks for the help

I've posted about this issue before on here about the battery/electrical warning light turning on and managed to get it fixed, but now it resurfaced after I secured the connection for the alternator (less than 50,000 km since it got replaced) which I found loose and almost unplugged for some reason, yet the car still ran properly both before and after I redid the connection. I've re-checked the run of the wires from the alternator to the battery and they are secure. I'm thinking of using electrical contact cleaner (like WD 40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner) to see if it's just corrosion or debris since the contacts may have gotten wet in the monsoon rain a few days ago. I'll also be testing if the battery still charges properly. Would this be advisable or should I do something else?

i am curious, as to why that connection seems easy to dis-connect... baka na-putol ang locking hook..? ..replace the plug..?
what if one uses thread locking fluid?
