Ford has already sent out notices to all of its dealers announcing the upgrade. They have said it has improved the voice recognition and navigation in what it calls “version 3.5” of the software, said Mark Fields, Ford’s head of the Americas.

“We’re thinking more and more like not only a car company, but a technology company,” Fields told reporters at a press conference during the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Ford dealers have been told that on Dec. 10, Ford will send the upgrade to vehicle owners who do not have navigation. Drivers with navigation will receive updates in January. Owners of hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles will be issued updates in the first quarter.

Ford again tumbled in Consumer Reports magazine’s annual survey of reliability last month — however, the survey was based on interviews with consumers from before the March 2012 upgrade.

Overall, the MyFord Touch and the Sync systems appear to work with the broadest number of hand-held devices of any auto manufacturers.

Allow customers with MyFord Touch to upgrade to Sync 3

Ford has already explained that the Ford Sync 3 system is a new experience comprising both new hardware and software, as such vehicles with MyFord Touch cannot be upgraded to it and it will only be available in new vehicles. However, the screen size is identical (8 inches) and there are already people who have retrofitted the vehicle in older vehicles (specifically a 2013 Taurus) and have explained that it is a 'drop in' replacement with no wiring changes or dashboard modifications. Ford permitted owners of certain 2009 basic stereos who bought cars that did not ship with the Sync 1.0 system to implement it. This was a dealer part, still on the Ford Accessory part today. This ensured drivers could add capabilities to their car that were not originally there. Ford should offer the Sync 3 system as an upgrade to users of MyFord Touch. Since it is new hardware that has an associated cost, it should be offered as a purchasable part for dealer install, like the Sync Accessory kit was, so Ford owners can enjoy the newer Sync system with improved functionality. Sync 3 was created based on heavy amounts of critical feedback of the MFT system in performance, stability, and missing features. Ford should not force current owners to buy an entirely new vehicle to upgrade one part of it.
