People haven't used Sync recently if they mount the "touch screen while driving" argument.
The touch screen in my C-Max simply doesn't function if the car is in motion. And you don't need to use it anyway. First off, everything has the same physical buttons as you'd have anyway, but better still voice commands handle most everything and work extremely well. Frankly, I find it the only setup worthy of being modern 2014 technology. Car systems are mostly still stuck in 1994 or something. It's pretty pathetic. The system in a friend's new BMW made me laugh the other day... I thought I was back in the 90's. Really? This much for a car and the electronics still suck this hard?
I've long said it; Apple should get into this businesses because clearly SOMEONE needs to set a decent standard other than Microsoft. If there's anyone that could whip everyone in line and bring car tech forward to where it should already be, it's Apple.
Looks like possibly they agree.
Go use a new ford car, because you clearly haven't
The fusion I used had a touchscreen that worked when driving, and to turn on something like the heated seats...oh, there's no dedicated button. It's buried 2 menus deep in mytouch. It was a giant sack of crap.
As for systems being stuck in 94...I don't know which BMW you used, but some of them are actually pretty decent. Hell of a lot more car under the hood, engine stops when the car stops, driving modes and all that.
