I have owned a few Fords, currently F-150, with Sync. In my opinion, it has not delivered on the hype. Too many features are blocked out while driving. Hey Ford and Microsoft, did you ever think that a front seat passenger can manipulate the screen while the driver drives responsibly? Having to stop to input a new navigation destination by address is ridiculous.
Also, the user interface and features for navigating and controlling music playback are terrible. There is no way to scroll through tracks; you have to hold down the FFWD or FRWD button. Try doing that with a 4 hour long podcast you started listening to the other day and wish to finish. You will be at your destination before your tired finger has advanced the track to the 2 hour mark. Having to cut up podcasts into 5 minute files should not be necessary. If I am totally wrong about this missing feature, or there is a workaround that does not involve manipulating the MP3 file, I really would like to know.
