SpiritualGuy62 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Oh, no! Another top executive at Ford with "Field" in his last name. This can't be good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkmunch Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 While I don't have my order yet, I've been reading that the UI with Sync 3 on the Explorer ST's "iPad" leaves a lot to be desired. This seems like a step in the right direction, however I'm not expecting an eventual fix on my MY22; it will probably take a next iteration of hardware to improve the interface design.

It largely works like anything else in the lineup just with a taller orientation for the upgraded models. my one complaint about the taller screen was with the backup/360 cameras - they retain the same side-by-side layout of the 8” version which results in a tiny picture relative to the screen. And then they filled the rest of the screen with a parking sensor image. Why not take advantage of the real estate and stack the full width rear view and full width 360? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
