Well, just got off the phone with the dealership. A little background info first... My dad bought the car yesterday and was told it had navigation. Get in the car to leave and I'm showing him how everything works and boom it doesn't have navi. I have an f150 that has navi so I know how it works. Well he went back to the dealership today and raised hell over being told it had something it didn't.
Now the dealership is saying they are ordering the module from Ford and SD card and will install it. I'm still pretty skeptical but I'll keep you guys posted. They said it would only be like $120 to add it but I'm sure they will end up eating the cost.

It doesn't say navigation. Dealer swears they are ordering the module and sd card from ford to add it. Again, I'm skeptical but I'll let y'all know what happens.

Wow, that's insane... What happens in a situation like that where they said it had something, but it didn't?

navigation cannot be added after the fact. the dealer does not have this capability. yes, your car has everything it needs if you have mytouch. yes, you have a sd card slot but there is a VIN specific software activation and if your was not built with it you can't get it. if you managed to take the APIM, the control module, out of a car with navigation it would work up until the point any of the vehicle's modules require an update. at that point the software would recognize that the VIN does not match and would revert back to factory settings. by the way, a new APIM costs more than the navigation feature.
cheaper, better screen position for drive safty, simple!
