I'm guessing your referring to the phone part? If so, there is no programming involved. If you have a bluetooth phone, sync is capable of searching through your phone book when you give it a name (provided your numbers are stored with a name in the book :P )

I just got an 09 fusion - Sync works great!!! I have quite a large library of songs in my ipod and it has been very accurate. On the note of Ford quality in general (referring to someone else's post), we are soon to beat the once top Toyota in terms of quality - check the facts :)

I love my Sync. Maybe they made it better since this video. Mine works 95% of the time. It is quite possible that he didn't have the files correctly on the Ipod as well. If you are pulling the music from a flash drive you have to set the artist and title of the song in the properties of the file.

I have an '08 Fusion and the sync works great. I do have to say it was hard to use at first, but once you learn that you can not say the commands in a choppy manner, like Mike was, it will understand you every time. For example, if you say a phone number, don't say 809, pause, 333, pause 4444, just say 8093334444 all in one.
