I've seen many people complain about the simplicity of this new Sync 3 infotainment system, but isn't that the goal? The driver should always focus on driving and if the infotainment system is too complicated, they will likely become distracted. But I guess you can't satisfy everyone.

I really appreciate that my Ford Focus 16 already has 8 inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while some 2020 luxury cars don’t even have them. Knobs and touchpads are so old school now.

I never minded MyFordTocuh either. Despite its slowness it was a good system. This takes all the functionality of the old system but it seems much more fluid. I'm really impressed with what fords done here

Sync 3 won't be available for cars with MyFordTouch, as it uses completely new hardware. A software update wouldn't be sufficient.

Not the most attractive interface but it's fast and quite responsive. These should be the most important metrics with in-car infotainment. I wonder how you feel this compares to the Kia UVO and FCA Uconnect systems? In terms of responsiveness these seem to be the class leaders.

I still have no idea why someone would want either use voice command or scroll to adjust climate. Both are more complicated than using three knobs and an a/c button. The knobs and buttons are very simple, easy to see, and easily and quickly accessed.

When you're watching a video from your favorite auto reviewer and realize he did the review a mile from your house lol

[venom]

It's a really nice looking system I have to say.

[ThePhotographyHobbyist]

I wonder if an update would come to existing vehicle? For example a 2014 F150.

[bfish]

Looks very snappy and usable, love the fact they have integrated android auto. One of these days I'm waiting for you to say "play artist five finger death punch."

[itmustbelove]

I do hope that for Lincoln they make it look more classy and refined.

User friendly... loving in the Ford edge 16. Thanks for the video

Does anyone know if any Ford cars allow you to turn on "shuffle albums" to randomise playback of different albums on iPod?

[maqiaoerda]

Sync 3 doesn't support user to change background wallpaper?

[dannyballsy]

Does sync 3 support pictures or images from your phone album app while paired. Technically can i view my pics in the sync 3 screen Or is that just with sync 2??? Any help would be much appreciated

[kennethgay]

great overview. I'm looking at a vehicle right now with sync. navigation is an important function for me. is there a way to edit your route options, such as avoiding highway or tolls? also do you need a subscription to use navigation?

[warrenford]

Why dose my SYNC3 not have a nav button in my 2019 Fusion

[donE]

The low reliability ratings given by consumer magazines mostly derive from the My Ford Touch infotainment systems poor performance. As well, car magazines have bashed it in comparisons to other car manufacturers systems. If SYNC 3 is as good as you and others say, this might be a game changer for Ford.

I know blue is Ford's company color, but blue lights are stressful and harmful to the eyes, that's why more computer monitors and TVs have low-bluelight modes!

[jonesznforajourney]

i cant hear the voice of the navigation when i use it. my radio volume goes down but thats all still cant hear anything. i have it set for voice and tone.
