For all the innovation out there in the auto industry today, there're still some real blunders, particularly when it comes to infotainment system design. Believe us, here at Ford of Smithtown, we've seen and heard it all. Navigation and maps programs that crash when you leave metropolitan areas, important apps buried deep in menus, and the seemingly ever present issue of touchscreens that take forever to update, the list goes on and on. It almost seems in many cases that other automakers' engineering teams simply ran out of development money and decided to just install Windows 95 on their in-car computers. Luckily, Ford knows that infotainment is an integral part of the automotive experience these days, which is why its SYNC® 3 infotainment system, available with the 2017 Ford Fusion, is designed to be both advanced and intuitive for supreme ease of use.
There's no denying that our iPhones and Android devices are the gold standard for usability, so why re-invent the wheel if it works? The SYNC®3 infotainment system employs all the common design conventions we know and love in mobile phones, the only difference is that this mobile device will really help you go places. You can swipe between app screens, pinch-zoom on maps and directions, and scroll to your hearts content on its responsive touch screen interface.
Ford understands that driving is complex enough without having to fuss with a poorly optimized infotainment system, which is why the SYNC® 3 infotainment system aims to make accessing the information you need on demand as simple as using your smartphone. Of course, the infotainment system is just the beginning of all the exciting features available with the Ford Fusion.
