Add to that, my pet peeve, in that even the '07 models come with old. obsolete, '05 Map CD's.
Ford could say "boy are we sorry", and offer us an upgrade for free, but I doubt it (has anyone even officially written to Ford to complain?).
Anyway, I did some checking on the possibility of doing this ourselves. The connectors on the back of the non-Hybrid versions of the DVD Nav system being used on the '08, is completely different than the one used on the '05-'07 models. Actually, the '05-'07 use the wiring standard from Ford's European cars.
So, IMHO, it is likely that the '08 Hybrid version is also very different from the '05-
07 Hybrid version. However, that doesn't preclude someone from coming up with an adapter harness if all the signals are there, but just in different connectors.
