Jalopnik has an exclusive hands-on on the Ford’s new infotainment system Sync at super-secret FoMoCo testing and development lab, and they have produced a video which showcases and demonstrates that usage and features of Sync in a Ford car. Jalopnik concludes after the sneak preview of Sync that “the Sync system is definitely the most robust system we’ve yet seen for connecting your personal audio and communication devices to your car for in-auto infotainment. The system’s just that good. Sync has one hell of an advanced voice recognition system — letting the driver play songs simply by depressing a voice activation button located on the steering wheel and speaking aloud the artist, album, genre or even the song title. And, as you can see from the above video, it actually works.”
