LOL you are the dumbass for continuing the,argument with someone who does not care. So take your bitching to,someone who,cares.

NEVER said I HAD ANY issues dumbass! I said IT DOESNT COME WITH SYNC APP LINK for those who end up buying one and FORD doesnt tell you that the ONLY car they sell that DOESNT have the APP is the 2012 Focus, the 2012 Fiesta uses the same system and HAS APP LINK. SO STFU!

[chrisloUSA]

Buddy your the one with the issue, I told you awhile back that regardless of the issues you and a few others had I still like the Sync system in my vehicles. Read me loud and clear, I AM NOT WITH THE COMPANY AND I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR ISSUES. I AM A PRIVATE OWNER OF FORD VEHICLES AND THE SYNC SYSTEM WORKS GREAT FOR ME. Got it buddy?

[cuddles6938]

You must have English as a second language, I said they DO NOT have the Sync APP Link feature in 2012 Focus, only 2013 Focus and 2012 Fiesta even though it's the same damn system. MyTouch was a nightmare and has been since 2011. Educate yourself and quit saying shit that I didn't say.

Why are you complaining at me then and trying to convince me the system sucks? I have 3 Fords 2009, 2011 and a 2012 with Ford's various infotainment systems, they all work. The one that had a few, minor issues was fixed at the dealership with Firmware updates. I still love the system and your experiences are moot since I had positive experiences. When you adopt new technology just released you always pay the risk of running across issues.

Its not MY issues its an ISSUE FORD made and Im NOT the only one COMPLAINING about it! I skipped MyFord Touch because in 2011 it was a POS! People were having theres replaced with MyTouch from OTHER cars on the dealers lots because they didnt have REPLACEMENTS in stock and the Firmware was always buggy. It's ONE reason Fords "quality ratings" went down because the Infotainment systems are a big headache with customers.

[chrisloUSA]

I only wish Ford would design these infotainment systems with the ability to save the addresses and other settings to a memory card so you can export this data to other Ford vehicles plus save the data if your Navigation System needs updates. Regardless of your issues or the early issues we had I still love the Sync system, we only had minor issues with the Edge since we got it when it was first released. I never had an issue with the Navigation Systems in my 2009 Escape or my 2012 Mustang.

[chrisloUSA]

We have the 2012 Edge and was the only vehicle we had problems with the Sync early on. We got it early on and sometimes it wouldn't sync up with our phones very easily. Since the updates though we had no issue. My only complaint is when they did the updates we lost all our saved addresses in our Navigation Systems address book, we went through this 3 times with each update.

Oh I believe the Chevy Spark is getting SIRI as one of the features on the Chevy MyLink system. Kinda copying Ford with the MyTouch but calling it a MyLink since all those terms are registered trademarks.

[cuddles6938]

Apple Siri is now out in a car, I'm trying to remember what model car it's in. I just read it on a car website yesterday. Sync is what they call it on Fords, I believe they also use the system on Kia's but it's called UVO, I believe Microsoft also makes there system but don't quote me on that.
