Interesting insights. Not sure if any of this also applies to MyFordTouch... ehh turd. I haven't seen any embedded system as slow, sluggish and buggy as MyFT. After bringing my gf's 2014 Ford Fusion for the 5th time to the dealer for MyFT issues we decided to file a lemon claim with Ford. Don't get me wrong, Ford isn't the only car manufacturer with crappy half-asked infotainment solutions. As a matter of fact, I can't say I've actually seen any implementation done right, except for possibly Audis MMI, which doesn't rely on touchscreens and touch buttons as much but has physical buttons for operating HVAC controls, navigation, etc. In my opinion, very big mistake by Ford to replace all of the physical buttons by stupid touchy buttons you constantly end up activating unintentionally or having to wait for the sluggish GUI/touchscreen to load up just to adjust HVAC controls. In my opinion a good example of rushing out a product and trying to solve problems that don't exist.
- emcrazyone 12y agoFord MyTouch is just a marketing term for SYNC; they are the same things just called different things. Everyone inside Ford calls it SYNC but rest of the world and what you see in dealerships is MyTouch. Ford had another venture with DWalt (the tool company) and they partnered with Magneti Marelli who did most of the work. I wasn't involved in that project, but that endeavor was a situation where Ford basically said here some dashboard space and a list of specs., make it work. This system was called Ford Works.
