I have no problem using the Sync 2. Yes, it is kind of laggy,but i won't browse the internet while driving.And when i want to type a destination,i stop the damn car. It does the job just fine.
Raul Barsan Why type it? Just speak the command..
How do i connect my fone via cable? Theres no aux jack under armrest
how to install app for ford endeavour 2016 India
So the VW takes longer to find and tune a DAB station, it also is equally confusing to input a postcode and uses a qwerty keyboard but the Ford scored lower? Who inputs postcodes while they're actually driving anyway

Thank you very much!.. At long last there's a review of car infotainment system... Which is kind of a miss, especially in this nowadays connected car... Please do Volvo massive touchscreen infotainment review...thank you
Is it just me or is the old system on Mondeo faster?
I find it a real pain in the ass to set a destination on Sync 2. On my phone, I just drop a pin on the map and set that as the destination. Why can't I do that on Sync?
Peugeot i Cockpit please?
Your reviewer is wrong regarding internet connectivity via 3 G dongles!I have the latest Ford Focus (2016) with this system fitted. Internet access via 3 g dongle feature, whilst in the menus structure DOES NOT work (I tried 6 different devices). I have since contacted Ford UK regarding this and they confirm it does not work at this time but "may in the future" - Im not holding my breath though!
This Mondeo is a manual. Do they make the fusion in America in a manual like this Mondeo is? I've never seen a manual Fusion, and that interests me.
Wow I came in late for this. But yes Mondeo's here in the "rest of the world" are both automatic and manual
Why are on screen sentences cut short, IE info from radio stations / road reports???

It should scroll if lenths is greater then amount of line space
Actualy you dont get the mediahubb anymore, since cars manufactured in October and onwards you only get one usb port and one SD card (and if you have navigation this one is already ocupied) and no aux in, on the plus side it is possible to use a usb hub and you can use a 64gb stick without issues (the limitation is that the system cant index more than 30.000 items, no storage limit (read about people using 1tb drives without issue)) another bummer is that the navigation cant be updated, an new sd card must be bought and they are released once a year, a petty as the navigation system is very good exept for this for example to find an adress actualy works well with voice control as you spell the names. apart from these things i mentioned i think the sync2 is very good actually and paired with the high end sony system with 12 speakers i get a great sound, i prefer it over the system in passat even considered we have mirrorlink in the passat one . Also once
Sync3 will not be relased here untill summer at the earliest, even the new ford edge doesent comme with sync3
why wouldn't she just use the voice control to set the destination, its pretty simple to do
Hi, I want to activate the GPRS service in the Middle East ??
i cant be the only one looking for sync 2 the movie? by corridor digital?
Ford SATNAV I would give a 1 *. Roads are not up to date. Especially in Holland roads that are there since 15 yrs are still not in the latest version.
Though the audio is really great!!!
Isn't SYNC 3 available to you? It's much improved over SYNC 2
+TruBlue16 Isn't available in the UK yet.
Which is a bummer, because i was considering getting a Ford, but would get outdated infotainment.
It's the same just renames
+Berke Teke SYNC 3 isn't the same as SYNC 2. It's completely new hardware and software by Blackberry instead of Microsoft
SYNC 3 doesn't come out here until Q4 2016, when the new Kuga/Escape will come out, it being the first model to feature SYNC 3
SYNC 3 is already delivered with all S-Max/Galaxy in Europe which were manufactured after May 2nd even if you have ordered with SYNC 2 before this date. I already have mine since beginning of June.
"Not good when driving" - Should stop and put it in irregardless of your system...
"irregardless" smh
I was waiting for this comment. And people wonder why there are accidents on the road!!!
There’s a manual Fusion imagine if it had the 2.7 Ecoboost 🤤
For some reason they've left the old SYNC in the Fiesta. Which is quite annoying.
Jeez look better than the dreaded VW RNS 510! If you can live with that, you can live with everything!
RNS 510 is like 10 years old. 2 or 3 generations ago, can'r reall compare the two.
kuba2499 I know, but it came with our 2014 VW!!
Is it just me or the old system on Mondeo was faster?
yeah...you lost me when the reviewer said how handy it was to have a cd player.
3:20 Or get a USB hub..
The high ratings really surprise me. Because of the very bad performance of this system, I will never choose for Ford again. It is booting while driving; sometimes it stops recognizing the SD card. The garage already replaced the complete unit, but still the same problems. It is difficult to operate. The cards were already outdated when I received my car in 2016. There is an option to install apps, but they do not exist at all.
sync 2 is too slow... ( no the uk has not got sync 3 yet )... controls are a pain to find some times too. The major pain its not easy to turn the screen off ( which comes back on after a call ) as its burried in settings with no direct voice command. I would have been happier with traditional head unit but you do not get the choice higher up. Gps i use tomtom... seems a better system to me. In all sync 2 could have been so much more but at least the car its self is great.
Erm, why does Rebecca Chaplain say on more than one occasion that inputting information into the navigation is difficult "when you're driving" YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!
Did she take Amphetamines before the review? and try entering the destination before you start driving.
Why was she trying to program the GPS while driving.... save a life and park it why don't you. You will find qwerty to be faster if you aren't in the process of killing pedestrians.
Haha when your driving she says obviously a terrible driver lady
super
Clicking on the manufacturer's badge doesn't do anything.
Hello0 Incredible. lunch draconian " 11
