SYNC, Ford’s voice-operated in-vehicle phone and media player interface, has become hugely popular feature. Since its introduction a couple years back, Ford has added new features and functionality to the system, including the ability to call up turn-by-turn directions, even on cars without navigation.
If you have a newer, more advanced phone that can download its address book, you can make calls by simply telling the car to call a given contact’s name. If, on the other hand, you’re stuck with a more prosaic communications device, you’re limited to dialing by number.
To address this limitation, Ford’s has introduced SYNCmyPhone. This is a desktop application (available for Windows and Mac) that allows users to create and manage their address book. Once the address book is ready, it can then be saved to a USB drive and loaded to a SYNC-equipped car, giving it the dial-by-name functionality previously available only to users of newer phones. If you drive a Ford vehicle with SYNC, you can download the app at SYNCMyRide.com .
