Sync My Ride

Back




Developed with Microsoft, Ford Sync offers a new level of communications and entertainment convenience. Sync lets users control and personalize their electronic devices in their vehicle. This technology will be available in twelve 2008 model year Ford, Lincoln and Mercury beginning Fall 2007, including Focus, Fusion, Edge, and Explorer. Check out www.syncmyride.com. Incorporating Bluetooth wireless connection technology as its foundation, Sync can connect cellular phones to the vehicle. The user's personal features (such as phone book and ring tones) are automatically downloaded. Sync offers a unique industry-leading text-to-speech function that will translate incoming text messages to speech and read them over the vehicle's audio system. Sync will translate abbreviation like "LOL" into "Laughing Out Loud," and it offers 20 pre-determined responses that can be customized via web downloads. Sync is also the only automotive application that offers full hands-free, voice-activated command and control over portable music players and storage devices, including Zune and iPod.

I don't know but... this is already available in Europe (Netherlands). Our Volvo V70 D5 has this :P. I was built in later.. didn't come WITH the car. But it's perfectly integrated with the original boardcomputer. Lol.. we've had this in all 3 cars of the past 5 years.

Fords are nothing but crappy welfare cars for those with new or bad credit. Theirs cars are junk and an embarrassment to this country. Notice how those that drive Fords are stupid at best? Anyone actually like your Ford, nope. Anyone actually look at your Ford? Nope. Why? Because other than some idiots that own Fords they are crap cars and trucks. Goodbye Ford, go bankrupt and close down your plants.

Ford isn't that bad, the new Edge is nice looking and drives nicely too.

I find it extremely hypocritical, that the person calling people that drive a Ford stupid, talks like a stupid person.
