RichardJensen Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Portable radio presets? What a country!! Seriously. Does anyone think GM is going to touch this anytime soon? Exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 And my hat's off to Ford for investing heavily in something that I am a huge fan of. Human Interface Design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This news just wiped out my decision to buy a 2009 MKX or MKS with low miles or a 2010 Taurus SHO. I HAVE to wait until I can get all of these MyFord/Lincoln Touch goodies on my next Ford or Lincoln!!!!!

PREMiERdrum Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Users will be able to take all of their MyFord Touch settings with them from vehicle to vehicle – just plug in an SD card or flash drive and you're good to go drive another MyFord Touch-equipped car. Your color scheme, your radio presets, your music tags, your seat position – whatever – all go with you. It will even welcome you by name, no matter the car. With the music tags, MyFord and MyLincoln Touch are the first systems that allow you to tag songs on the fly Holy. Crap. I don't think any of us saw this coming... wow.

rmc523 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) NOT FAIR!!!! I WANT ONE!!!! UGGGHH!!!!! This system look amazing and so much better than the already great system. I know hbalek - I just can't get over how awesome this thing will be................grrrrrrr I don't know how anyone will be able to touch this - it's just as the article said: In other words, no one could even compete with Ford's old stuff. How on earth will they manage against MyFord Touch? ---- Oh, and did anyone notice you can get two different control setups?? The stock system and the SONY designed system. --- Both interiors look nice too - I actually see some Falcon in the Edge's design: Edited January 7, 2010 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I love the information overload on it. I dont care for the tiny little buttons with the markings above it, I would rather have a larger button or "thing" to click with the markings within the button. It just looks too delicate and spartan considering whats just above it. Love the Fusion Hybrid like IP, although I never cared for speedometers where only 1/4th of the pie shape will only be used 0-60 spread, hm an inch movement, the PRNDL didnt help, The rest if wasted decoration. I like the new steering wheels as well... Is that a bronze like sheen to the metal for the Lincoln variant I'm seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of the speedometer setup either - I don't know why they feel it's necessary to put the gear indicator there as well these days.

CJRivera Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) 2 videos of it in action... http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/myford-...nt-a-blue-oval/ Edited January 7, 2010 by CJRivera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I just noticed a stalk on the right of the steering wheel, what is that for? All the wiper controls - Ford hs decided to separate them now - I guess to share parts around the globe. I like the one stalk system they've got now, personally.

Hugh Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 With this setup, I forgive them for cutting the Edge headlamps in the inner lower section. So, this is Edge and MKZ. I wonder if this will be available on Explorer and maybe Focus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex D. Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 This looks to be a game changer in the way we interact with our vehicles. This is very exciting and I'm glad to see it will even be on the Focus and not just relegated to high-end models. This puts the infotainment tech in well-established brands to shame. And to think Ford was lagging in vehicle tech just a few short years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres the direct link to the second one then.

rmc523 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Maybe I'm misinterpreting what he said. I should also clarify: I did see 2 videos, but I only saw one video that applies to this topic.

I thought he meant 2 videos related to the new systems that just debuted at midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
