Surprising enough I purchase the only 2017 without Ford Sync Connect….What is Ford thinking? At least have the sync connect modem available as an add on to the 2017 Ford Edge. Extremely disappointed if I have to go back to the 2013 Edge Ford Remote Access
I just purchased a 2017 Mustang and it does not have remote connect. How archaic. My 2015 Yukon has it and this is 2 years newer. Wake up Ford
Yeah, I have to admit I am very disappointed as well. Just spent almost 40k on a new 2017 F150, and it does not have the new Sync as well. I guess when I was going through the process to purchase it, I never even for one minute thought it would not have it because my 2011 Taurus had it. It was not until I was going through the options with the sales guy after I had signed all the paperwork, did he mention my truck did not have it. It has CarPlay, which I have issues with as well but not Sync. It ruined the whole excitement of buying a new truck for the first time in 20 years. Now every time I get in it, it just ticks me off. Why would they not put that in any brand new 2017 vehicle?
I have a 2017 Ford Fusion that does not have Sync Connect. Can the Sync connect technology be added to my vehicle?
What is availability of Sync Connmect on 2018 model Fords?
I have the Edge tantrum eco 2018 and it not on my suv they want 500.00 to install insane.
