Ford is releasing a new generation of their SYNC infotainment wireless connectivity software, and with it, a ton of great new features and updates. Here are two big reasons to look forward to Fords SYNC 4 release.
Over-The-Air Technology.
The earlier generations of SYNC software needed to be updated via a Wi-Fi connection or a pre-loaded USB drive. The new SYNC 4 software will make updates automatic. The intent of Ford is to make these updates happen without you noticing them. The system will download and install the updates in the background. When it is ready to launch, the new update should start up seamlessly. The new SYNC 4 will also have better cloud connectivity, making Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sync AppLink cordless and far more efficient.
Bigger Better Screens.
SYNC 4 is designed for touchscreen displays. The new model cars will have screen sizes ranging from 8 inches to 15.5 inches. The view of apps can be dropped into multitask windows, letting you see more than one function at a time. Programs and functions that you use regularly will become small dash cards at the bottom of the screen. These dash cards are small widgets that allow you to control those features, without pulling it up into full screen.
The new infotainment software by Ford is a huge upgrade from their past versions of SYNC technology. With upgraded graphics, cloud access, and over-the-air technology, we are excited to see how the new SYNC 4 holds up over time.
