SYNC 4 Demo/Overview - 12" Touchscreen in 2021 Bronco

[Virtual-Chris]

I have Car Play on my Mercedes and it takes over the full screen. I’m not sure why people would prefer this. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to access the car systems like the radio, cameras or other vehicle status, functions, etc. I actually think this system will be better.

Thanks Sean, seems simple enough. I'm glad now that I decided to get the 12" screen.

Same!

Rats, didn't see a USB option for audio input. I like that option...

There was an awesome thread on exactly that a while ago by a really helpful chap on the forums. Nobody reads such threads because they are stupid and only tell you information nobody wants to know.

What Ford calls it is "Information on Demand Panel" or "IDP".

I will put forward that the 360 camera functions on an 8" screen would be laughable, especially when doing the front facing and surround at the same time, so it was a reasonable decision by Ford to limit that to only those bringing the full 12" to the playground.

This is very helpful. Thanks for this.

Ok I'm actually pretty glad I'm only getting the 8" screen. That pages is helpful for the offroad stuff, but I gotta have full screen Android Auto

Awesome Info!! Did anyone else see the 19mpg average??!! Saw it about at 4:19. I know we don't know what trim or engine.... But, I'll take that over what I get in my Tundra!

How long until somebody accidentally changes the voice to a foreign language they don’t understand and can’t figure out how to change it back?

Thanks! Million dollar question for OP (surprised no one asked as this should be the number 1 question)

given sync 4 allows for driver profiles settings to be saved, and the one you tested has power leather seats, do we get quasi memory seats with that combo such that each key fob sets the seat to the last setting for that particular driver profile?

Fantastic video. A really nice overview that has me excited about Sync4. Thank you.

Thanks for the vid. This makes the 8” screen seem like the better buy since its basically the same size as the 12” screen minus the “pages” section. If you could use the entire screen without the pages, then the 12” might be worth it.

Each to their own but if you're buying a model that allows you to spec High or Lux, I think the extra coin will be worth it for resale value and 'cool' factor of the giant screen. Especially with the trail cams!

Hmmm...beginning to wonder if the 360 camera can see if you're not wearing flannel and will automatically put the whole Sync 4 system in hibernation?

Gotta say, it's kind of unimpressive compared to the Tesla screens.

I agree. Everybody needs to cancel their orders and buy a Tesla instead. In Elon Musk we trust.
