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

[Bronc-O]

No shit. I’m asking if there’s a quasi memory function given we have sync 4 with driver profiles settings and power seats.

No

The 12" will shine when using it for trail cam mode. Otherwise, I agree with others that the 8" is a good option.

Trail

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

Good choice

So why did Ford not just pay you to do this? Lol... Yours are always great!

Good point! Thanks for support

Awesome video! Really nice screen resolution! Thanks for capturing so much detail.

Does that animation happen at each start up (or going to "accessory position 2")? That was pretty cool. Also, will you be covering any interface customization that Sync 4 has (changing the colors of the interface like "dark mode" etc.) in future videos?

It seems like a lot of people want to see dark mode, will make a dark mode video soon.

The animation start up happens after each restart with a long enough break in between, not back to back. I had to wait a couple minutes for it to reset to capture it again.

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.

I agree, the carplay integrated into this is very nice. Allows you to access your other Ford/Sync features without having to back out of carplay.

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

It will pop up once plugged in for audio source

Its nice and all but i wish it had a dark theme

It does, will post.

OBX interior, very distinctive

You know it.

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?

That is a good question, because Lincolns offer personal profiles with seat settings...no memory seats in Bronco though

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

My pleasure, happy to help. Love Sync 4

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!

100% agree, we are sold on the 12" hands down.

Thanks for the video. I'm sure I'll have to play it several times when my Bronco gets here but it's nice to know someone can make it do those things. I'm terrible with tech things.

Glad I could help provide some insight ahead of time.

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

I'm also pretty dissapointed that they basically make Carplay a small window on the screen. Is it confirmed that the 8" touch screen will allow full screen Android Auto and Carplay?

Like others have said
If it wasn’t for the trail cams and 360 overhead views
No reason to get the 12 inch screen.
Unfortunately my brother recently got a F150 king ranch. That 360/overhead view is sweet.
I “have” to have it.

Damn it Ford!

My last three cars have had the 360 view, I won’t get a car without it now..

19 mpg, not bad! Was this a 2.7L Sasquatch?
