MyFord Touch Improvements
SYNC with MyFord Touch improvements were made

command prompt when the voice button is pushed

are simplified through elimination of the need to
provide street direction, e.g., “Main Street” instead of
“North Main Street”

to include the additional song, album or artist
information often found at the end of a name in
(parentheses) or [brackets]

via new SiriusXM

Game Finder simply by saying a
command such as “Tune to Detroit Lions game”

been improved to enhance call quality

connection upon vehicle
entry has been improved
