Question: How is SYNC different in the new MyFord Touch system?
Answer: The original SYNC system provided voice access to the phone and media player by recognizing around 100 simple commands for making calls and playing music. With MyFord Touch, SYNC offers these improvements.
Improved voice recognition will recognize over 10,000 voice commands, making it easier to simply press the Voice button and ask for what you want at any time.
More voice control over virtually everything in the system, including all media sources as well as climate functions.
