MyFord Arriving Later This Year
Ford introduced a smarter, safer, simpler system to connect drivers with in-car technologies and their digital lives at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show. Building on its leadership with the award-winning SYNC® device connectivity system, Ford has combined a variety of technologies into one powerful, intuitive connected driver experience called MyFord, which will begin rolling out on vehicles this year.
"MyFord delivers a premium interior experience that will help consumers fall in love with their vehicles again," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development. "It integrates all our signature features so customers will know exactly what they're going to get in any Ford vehicle they may find themselves driving, no matter where they are in the world."
This new in-vehicle connectivity experience replaces many of the traditional vehicle buttons, knobs and gauges. With more voice commands, clear, crisp LCD screens that can be customized and five-way buttons like those on cell phones and MP3 players, driver can choose which information is front and center through a button click, voice command or touch-screen tap.
MyFord will arrive later this year on the resdesigned 2011 Ford Edge, before appearing on the all-new 2012 Ford Focus for global markets. By 2015, approximately 80 percent of Ford's North Americna models are expected to have MyFord driver connect technology.
