The Ford SYNC® and
MyFord Touch® connectivity systems are resonating with buyers, ranking as an
important part of their vehicle purchase decision. In fact, 56 percent of
drivers of 2011 and 2012 models said in owner surveys that SYNC and MyFord
Touch were important to their purchase decision. The popular and flexible
systems are receiving an upgrade, launching on 2013 Ford Taurus and Flex, as
well as for current customers with eligible systems.
For current U.S.
customers, Ford will mail out MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch upgrade packages
that include a USB flash drive with the updated software, a notification
letter, detailed instructions for the 60-minute download and an updated user
guide. Navigation-equipped vehicle owners also will receive an updated SD card
with all-new, updated map data. If preferred, customers also can elect to take
their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer for installation of the upgrade.
There are three videos
in the playlist above that share more information about the features and
changes in this upgrade. As capable and popular as MyFord Touch is now, the
flexibility of the underlying SYNC software platform allows for regular updates
and upgrades as the technology evolves.
The touch screen
interface has been enhanced with simpler graphics and bolder text that is
easier to use. The response time of the touch screen is now much faster so
drivers can tap controls and focus on driving. Already popular voice controls
now provide even better recognition so drivers can tell their cars what to do,
keeping their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
In addition to the
simplified interface and faster performance, Ford engineers added new features
including better phone compatibility, support for tablet computers and Audible
audiobooks, improved navigation maps and destination entry.
