Videos on Sync and Navigation - Must see
Be more informed before you compare your portable Garmin or TomTom to the $2200.00 Multi Media interface that is often referred to as the Overpriced Navigation System. I have to say that calling it a nav system is not at all accurate because it does so much more. Anyhow please share these videos because I have helped many people setup their basic SYNC system and pair phones. I also notice many debates in the forums of how quite a few people think their phone navi or their $100 portable navi unit with free updates is an equal system........WRONG!!!
ENJOY!!

Let me know if anyone find these videos helpful. Also how do you post the YouTube videos on this site which shows a "still image" frame of the video?

Remember to setup your owner's account first: http://www.fordvehicles.com/technology/sync/?brand=flm - See more demo videos at the bottom of the screen (video bar under the video).

Thanks, eurocobra. Nice links. I posted my SYNC Turn By Turn Directions thread before really looking at this one. I guess my thread is still good for anyone who would rather just read about it.

Many people have had these cars for a while and do not know how the system works. Some have been pissed and yelling at the system because it does not control their CDs (which it cannot, only devices over USB).
FORD made some professional videos but we need to post them up every time there is a SYNC question. www.syncmyride.com is also a good place to get help.

- Does it create tracks of where you've been and can you upload those tracks from the car to your computer so you can save them?
- Can you upload POI (Points of Interest) files from the computer/internet to the navigation system? I have the Garmin which I can upload .gpx and csv files. These files are like "National Monuments", "Strange places to visit in the US", or just personal points I've saved over the years. Can I upload these?
- Are the maps, restaurants, gas stations, etc updated automatically, by subscription, or not at all? Roads and business are constantly changing so these needed to be updated.

Thanks for the links.
My name for the woman speaking to me in my Mustang is: Sincee (SYNC).
One of the things I do to strengthen the relationship w/ the wife is point-out how nice and polite Sincee talks to me and why can't the wife be more like Sincee. This has been a big hit and is my recommendation to others also wanting a strong relationship.
The thing I don't like about the NAV is the printed paper manual is too fat to fit within the documentation pouch provided with my Mustang.
My NAV has "lost it's mind" several times already where it totally confuses voice commands. My BIL and I have a running joke about my car calling him instead of my daughter. When this happens the NAV needs to be reset and all is fine for months.

Another useful trick is to thank Sincee for her verbal feedback, like directions.
FWIW, my fall-back career is marriage counseling.

Thanks for the info. I just listened to the first video, and I am going to give it a shot. I really have not used SYNC for anything but my phone. I love new toys..

I have not been able to borrow an iPhone to setup the system with yet. I know it is possible. I would need a couple of days to figure out how to get the image to the screen.
