AGYA CLUB INDONESIA : 2016 Fiesta and Escape Will Be the First Fords with Sync 3

Ford’s much-maligned MyFordTouch interface is on its way out, to be replaced by the new Sync 3 infotainment system. We’ve previewed the Sync 3 system, and it’s a significant improvement. Now we know where it will appear first: the 2016 Ford Fiesta and 2016 Ford Escape, starting this summer.In addition to a revised menu structure, larger touch-point “buttons,” and pinch and swipe response, Sync 3 also can run several phone-based apps including Apple Siri Eyes Free. It does not yet, however, incorporate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but a report in the New York Times says that Sync 3 will offer them before the end of the year. Ford hasn’t said when they will arrive.
