Ford’s victory with Sync isn’t contestable – the connectivity system has a 70-percent uptake rate, and 32 percent of people list it as one of the reasons they bought a Ford. Over one million Sync-equipped vehicles have been sold in three years. The Blue Oval’s exclusive deal with Microsoft ended last year and other Microsoft-powered in-car competitors will be arriving soon, so Ford has been busy working on new elements that it hopes will keep Sync in front of the challengers.<\/p>\n

Ford has updated Sync a couple of times this year with things like traffic and directions<\/a>, and a contacts download app<\/a>. According to The Detroit News, <\/em>the next big update is scheduled to be announced at the Consumer Electronics Show<\/a> in Las Vegas next month. Ford isn’t giving away details, but it’s called “mobile apps,” and it will enable Sync functionality with any app on a cellphone or personal music player. That would likely mean Pandora on-the-go<\/a> and Twitter out loud. <\/p>\n

It could also mean a price: rumors suggest that Ford will be charging for the upgrade, and that it will come on 2010 vehicles and be available to any previous Sync-fitted vehicle. Stay tuned for coverage from CES for more.<\/p>\n
