I've been watching the evolution of the US based Sync system in premium Ford models and it is now reaching the point of being a useful system.
Initially designed to be nothing much more than a BT phone interface (albeit a voice activated one), the Sync system now incorporates:
The system is based on the Microsoft Auto platform (formerly Windows CE for Automotive) and is gradually filtering down to the more basic models. We've seen an iteration of this in the current Mondeo (of course) but as it is a modular system it would seem to make sense for FoA to adopt this form of ICE integration rather than continue down the (troublesome) BT/iPod integration route they are currently taking. Cheers Russ
