OK, this is a total mess... but I grabbed some stuff from Fords websites
(http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/sync-commands/
http://support.ford.com/sync-technology/voice-command-categories-sync)
and the owners manual...

I thought I might put together a little 1-page PDF - but I have lost my enthusiasm as this is undoubtedly inclomplete.. but here it is if anyone is interested or wants to clean it up and make something more useful out of it.

I wonder how many of these commands I cant use.

I have been trying for a while now to use the "Refine" command to help narrow down music artist or album... but it doesnt actually appear to be a valid command on my MFT system in the 2013 Explorer.


“Refine album <name>”
“Refine artist <name>”
“Refine song <name>”
“Refine track <name>”



Has anyone ever used these commands? I wonder if they have been removed. I notice they are in the owners manual but not on the current SYNC and FORD websites I link to in the original post.
