“Sync” technology enables consumers to have the availability of consumer electronic products (such as iPods, MP3 players, and cell phones) at their fingertips through their car dashboard system. In 2007, Ford invested a lot of resources and money into the development of this product, and it has surely proven its worth. Now, Ford has come out with a second generation of the Sync system that “aims to redesign the entire user interface of the dashboard with color-coded touch screens, better voice recognition and five-way control pads on the steering wheel.” Some of the new options with the new system include personalized “instrument-cluster gauges,” twin 4-inch screens on both sides of the speedometer, and even allows the user to set up a WI-FI network in their car. Lastly, most, but not all of these functions are controlled by voice commands.
I believe that this device will be a huge success. People are always looking for more convenient ways to use their phones and music, and this product does just that. The most important of the new advances in the sync, I believe, is the WI-FI network. Many consumers want to be able to use their laptops when they are on long trips, or even if they are commuting with someone to work every day. The importance of the internet continues to grow every day, and this product helps buyers to connect to this trend more simply.
