FAQs

What is the partnership between Ford and onX?

We are offering eligible Ford owners one year of complimentary access across the highest tier of all four onX Apps, which can be used seamlessly in-vehicle via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto (except Backcountry). By being able to display onX’s navigation maps on the in-vehicle screen, exploring will be easy. And, when you know you won’t have coverage, you can download maps ahead of time to explore with confidence. 

What is the offer?

Now through 20281, eligible Ford owners can enjoy a complimentary year of onX Elite. This Ford promotional offer provides access to all four Apps: onX Hunt, Offroad, Backcountry, and (current top subscription offering) Fish Midwest, a $335 value for all four Apps.   

Who is eligible?

Available to U.S. Ford customers with 2017 model year or newer vehicles (new or pre-owned) with an activated modem. Customers that have an existing onX Elite membership or have had one in the 12 months prior to activation are not eligible for complimentary offer on the same onX App.

Why is this limited to 2017 model year vehicles and newer?

A connected vehicle modem is required to authenticate the vehicle and set-up an account within the Ford app2, which is eligible starting at the 2017 model year.

How do I redeem the offer?

Claim via your Ford App or by visiting  www.onxmaps.com/ford.  

What happens after the 1-year free trial? 

For a seamless customer experience, the onX membership will be automatically renewed. Credit card activation is required, and there is no charge if a customer chooses to cancel their membership before the renewal date.  See onX Terms of Use for more information on memberships.

What if I already have an existing onX membership?

Customers that have an existing onX Elite membership or have had one in the past 12 months are not eligible for the one-year free trial on the same onX App. Customers with an existing onX Premium membership are eligible for the 1-year free trial. 

Is this offer available outside the U.S.? 

Currently, the offer is only available to eligible Ford owners in the United States excluding U.S. territories. 

How do I sign up for my free year of onX as a Ford owner? 

Activating your membership is simple:

  1. Visit the Promo Page: Go to onxmaps.com/ford.
  2. Sign In: Log in to your onX account (or create a new one).
  3. Verify Eligibility: Log in with your Ford account credentials (the same ones used for the Ford App).
  4. Select & Activate: Choose your qualifying vehicle and the onX App you want to use first.
I’m at the website but it’s asking me for a credit card. Is it still free?

Yes! The first year is complimentary. A credit card is required by onX to activate the trial offer, but you will not be charged today. You can manage your auto-renewal settings to cancel the recurring plan in your onX profile at any time. See onX Terms of Use for more information on memberships.

My Ford vehicle isn’t showing up in the “Garage” during the signup process. What should I do? 

Please ensure your vehicle is fully connected and visible in your Ford App first. If it is in your Ford App but not appearing on the onX signup page, try logging out and back in. If the issue persists, Ford can verify your VIN manually. Please contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673 for further assistance.

What happens to my data (Waypoints, Tracks, Offline Maps) after the year is over?

All your data is saved to your onX account. If you choose not to renew, your account will revert to a “Basic” (free) version, but your saved Waypoints and Tracks will remain there for when you decide to activate a paid plan. 

Does this work with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

Yes, with the exception of onX Backcountry. For all other onX Apps, once you’ve activated your membership and downloaded the App, simply connect your phone to your vehicle.3

What are the onX apps?
