If you know how to work a smart phone, you should know how to use this system. It's really easy. Fast response, a lot of cool features. Nice bright screen. Love it. To get the full features get it with the navigation.

Don’t think he’s saying not knowing how to use it. It’s just a tad slow compared to other vehicles. My wife has a Hyundai Tucson and it’s screen is way quicker responsively

Had an 09 Escape with the first Ford Sync with Nav. Took a bit to learn it but once I did it had a lot of features.

It depends what problems you're referring to. Being that it's a big touch-screen, it's certainly different than buttons and there's a definite learning curve. It's work up-front to learn the system. Once you learn the system, it's not hard to use, but you need to put in some time first. It'll keep getting better over time, though, to become more and more intuitive as Ford keeps updating it.

I'll take that into account in the future. It was still winter at this point so the gloves were staying on. I'll see about getting a tighter shot next time. Thanks for the comment.

I just picked up a 2016 fusion with this. Is there a way to have the heated seats and steering wheel turn on when you remote start the car? My 2013 ram had a setting where you could set that up. Also is there a way to access Google assistant to say request to play a certain band from an app? I can't seem to figure out the voice commands to make that happen.

+DCAGchannel I have a 2015 Focus Electric and when I switch my charging mode to Value Charge, it doesn't switch to my Value Charge Profile time. Ford says I have to drive it for about 2 miles before it switches over to my set charge time. That is stupid in my opinion. It's like changing to another radio station on your radio presets and then you have to drive 2 miles before the radio will actually change the radio station. When I change charging modes, it should change immediately.

Please make a video for how to pull out fuse 79 in Ford CMax 2013. Today is the second time I have had the radio not shut off. It says "audio off," but you can shut the car off, leave the vehicle, come back, and the radio is still on. Three times I have done a master reset and went back to factory settings, but the radio plays on. There has to be an easier way to do this. At least with a computer, I can hold down my start button and power it down, unlike the Sync in my CMax.

I have now used extensively over the past week the sync system in a rented Ford Escort. I can say without a doubt despite reading the owners manual that the system is not easy to use. Voice commands are better. The GM system with OnStar integration in a Buick or Chevrolet is far easier to use with simple commands. Also, you can configure your smartphone either android or Apple to review your car status remotely. Microsoft has yet to match this capability and it is lacking in the Ford products.

I'm in the unfortunate position of having to use it at that temperature, but it does still work. Not quite as well, though. Some of that is due to LCD screens by nature being slower in the extreme cold and also because you're typically wearing a thicker glove which is less accurate. Again, it's not the same as in warm temperatures, but it does still work.

That was a good thing to say: to practice new stuff before you get on the road. I've SEEN the result of what happens when people are fooling with buttons in a new car. Even looking at the function buttons on the steering wheel is too dangerous. NO, these things are not "intuitive" as others say, and your FIRST PRIORITY as the driver is to drive safely. Save the fooling-around stuff for the bedroom ;)

my 20l4 Escape titanium, has problems recognizing verbal commands. It doesn't even come close and I speak distinctly. I almost hate it! I usually have to have a garmin on the window, and then get two different sets of directions. It is so bad that we just bought a 20l7 Denali and a 20l7 Honda and did not consider buying a ford. Why haven't they updated this problem for owners? I still use the Escape, but I need an update that actually can recognize a simple command like "Perkins, or Target" and not get pickle factory or temple... I have always had Fords, but I feel they really let us down on this one. I would love the sync 3 in my 20l4 but at this point it is not worth replacing the entire module.

I mean I think the guy does a fairly good job at informing us with the features of the MyFord Touch system, if the frayed glove prevented you from grasping the information, you may just be one of those people who gets distracted while driving due to the fly on your windshield.

Ford is constantly updating the system to make it better and better. It's new technology so there's hiccups here and there. Remember, it's still a computer and computers do freeze here or there and require a reboot even though they've been around for years and years. It's annoying, but it's not like you need to reboot it every 3rd time you get in the vehicle. Every now and again you might have to delete and re-pair your phone. Actually having to do a whole master reset is rare.

@grgstvn 11 жыл бұрын
Almost every review of this system comments of rebooting, freezing etc. A rash of complaints exist online with these problems noted. That's my main concern. I love the interior design but I want to know what's been done to correct the problems.

+Monkeybox Gaming i have this setup and if it crashes or hangs (which it does do)... the climate functions on the screen and even the physical buttons don't work. So the system is very integrated with all the physical buttons unfortunately. This may be corrected in sync 3 not sure. Too bad for the millions that have sync 2 though.

Ford is constantly improving the system, but it is still a computer so it does sometimes require a reboot. Nothing that's too difficult to do, but it can still be annoying just like it is on your computer at home.
