My 2015 comes in a month or two. I'm curious how the current 2015 owners feel about their Ford MyTouch systems and if they're as bad as I'm reading online for why the Sync 3 is so important.

Too late for me to change now obviously, but I'd love to hear from 2015 owners if they think it's been a problem.

 

I'm still learning the ins and outs of the MyTouch system. Seems there are too many sub menus to go through. I am hoping that the hardware in the 2015's will be able to have Sync3 installed in them.

 

Have definitely found that none of the in-dash systems are very good.

Our Volvo has an okay system, but they really need better UX designers too.
My Audi has the same underlying operating system that Ford is moving to, but again, after a couple years I don't really do a lot with it beyond hook up my phone. My phone does most of the work. I probably use like 1% of the functionality.

 

As reported elsewhere the Sync 3 system is BASED ON TOTALLY new hardware.

I suppose it might be possible to reto-fit new hardware into a 2015 but that is likely to be $$$$$$.

 

Unless it is apple Carplay, I really don't care what the 2015 F150 or 2016 has, it is going to be outdated. I don't know why Ford is going with blackberry. I guess it must be $$. The current microsoft system is buggy and slow. Graphics suck..

 

Reportedly Carplay will be included but in an update AFTER the intial role out.

 

Too late for me, because I just purchased this.

 

bkool - that is beautiful . I'm getting almost the exact same thing, in Blue

 

Bkool, could you post come close ups of your mirrors from the front and back and maybe the bottom. My dealer didn't have any on the lot with the trailer towing mirrors. I can't stand loosing parabolic to the BLIS so I went with the "dumbo" mirrors as my dealer called them. I prefer the bigger mirrors though. Sharp looking truck!

 

The power-tow mirrors don't delete the BLIS AFAIK.

Look at these photos. The BLIS icon is still on the mirror face.

Sorry, yeah, the tow mirrors don't delete BLIS. The BLIS deletes the parabolic corner piece from the regular mirrors. I really like having parabolic mirrors on a truck, if for nothing other than backing up. I realize now they have cameras that help with backing, but it is so ingrained in me to stare at the drivers mirror and occasionally the passenger mirror when backing.

 

Sync 3 will not be available as an update on the current truck. FYI.

 

That sucks. I miss the direct Pandora interface that I had with the Pioneer head unit in my old truck.

 

What color is that? Looks great!

 

That's the Magnetic, right?

Edit: Whoa, it could almost be the Guard too.
