Alz I can say is, "unbelievable". Maybe Ford should FIRST get MFT working between the car & driver and then concentrate on getting it to work with Facebook.

Agree! Send us the fix you have been promising for months upon months Ford.

"I think we have the opportunity to make the most socially networked car".
Really? Is that what we truly need? For my car to post where I am all the time?

I realize it is different teams of people who do this vs. things like the corrections to the existing code - but c'mon Ford - it doesn't work right now so FIX IT before you tease al the cool kids with how they can play what their friends are playing on the sound system and have mileage contests......

I ... I ... I don't know what to say. Aside from my overall dislike of Facebook (i.e.: the users are the product, not the customers yadda yadda yadda) I watched the video and thought it was a big waste of time. I have to 1000% agree with RJT in that Ford should really concern themselves with fixing the current system. If this was a rock solid base then hell yes, branch out and start adding features that some people may like.


p.s. If anyone knows what apps are available in Canada, please point me there. I'd love to get something like the vehicle health report but I guess adding "Eh!" to the report/screens just doesn't work .....

Canuckistan doesn't allow for any VHR or SYNC Services, or Apps.

If you want any of those you need a US address and a US iTunes account.

MSRP in Canada on a full load Ex Limited is now just under $60,000........and the Can $ is $1.0145

The Explorer doesn't allow SyncApps, for some strange reason. Why wasn't this added in the recently released update? Every other car seems to have it...

"SYNC AppLink is available on 2012 SYNC-equipped Ford Expedition, F-150, Fiesta, Fusion, Mustang and Super Duty; and the 2012 Lincoln MKZ and Navigator.

SYNC AppLink is also available as a software update for the North American 2011 Ford Fiesta."
