Sync Your Ride!


I'm relatively sure that if you are among the millions of us who watch TV, listen to the radio, or read magazines, you've probably seen the new Ford commercials for SYNC. So, what is this new technology called SYNC? Well, I'm glad you asked.

SYNC, developed in a joint venture with Microsoft, and based on Microsoft's state-of-the-art Auto Software, is a voice-activated mobile phone and digital music system from Ford, Lincoln and Mercury. SYNC enables drivers to use simple voice commands, hands-free, to operate most Bluetooth enabled phones and most popular MP3 players.

Since it public introduction, SYNC has met with rave reviews. The magazines are lauding it, customers are loving it and it's having a positive impact on the entire Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lineup.

The introduction of SYNC has given Ford the competitive edge over other manufacturers. Unlike General Motor's OnStar, SYNC requires NO monthly subscription fee (aside from the regular fees your already pay your wireless phone provider for your particular calling plan) and at only $395, is much less expensive. In addition, SYNC version 2, will automatically dial 911 when it senses an airbag deployment - unlike OnStar who's call center is notified of an accident and then summons 911.

Simply put, this product is AWESOME!
