darrelld Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/06/25/ford-seeking-seamless-ios-7-in-the-car-connectivity/ Ford Sync and MyFord Touch are rooted in Microsoft, but that doesn’t mean Ford isn’t interested in partnering with Apple to deliver on the iOS 7 in the car, a new feature that puts the iPhone screen on the car’s in dash display.Apple announced a new iOS 7 in the Car feature that will take Siri Eye’s free to a new level, with an AirPlay like feature that will overlay iPhone apps like Maps, Music, phone calls and messaging on the display built-in to the car’s dash. Jim Buczkowski, director of Electrical and Electronics Systems at Ford Research and Innovation, told Gotta Be Mobile that he was meeting with Apple around the time of the Apple WWDC 2013 event where Apple showed off the new iOS 7 in the Car technology. Ford’s name and logo did not appear on stage at WWDC 2013, which led many to believe Ford cars and trucks would not see this sharp-looking way to use the iPhone, but that’s not the case.

ScubaDadMiami Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Even an Android guy like myself can be happy for these improvements. Let's hope that all of the OSs out there get into the race to make these systems work better for all users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalpha Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 If they implement a system that displays my phone screen on the MFT, I would be SO HAPPY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimInSeattle Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 As a daily commuter, the best traffic information comes from apps on my iPhone, which usually covers up my MFT screen. Being able to actually use MFT AND get good traffic information would be fantastic. Actually, any efforts to make the iPhone and MFT work better together would be appreciated. Pretty hit-and-miss right now. MtnMarty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
