Lars, I think the model number is on the case of the unit when you take it out of the Ford mount. The reminder is sounding like a map database update (Which is in the neighborhood of $75 I think). But, you would be wasting your time if you didn't need it.

I'm actually less than thrilled with the Magellan website. I had bought a hiking GPS from them and could not get it to work properly. I also emailed them and got no response. I returned the unit and bought a Garmin (which I'm happy with). But, I had already registered the hiking GPS with Magellan before I returned it.

When I went back to their website a couple of days ago, I found that there was an update shown there for the unit I returned, but nothing for the GPS in the truck. So, it's possible that if you register your unit, you might be told exactly what updates are available.
