well, come to think of it, not alot... EXCEPT, you can always get a USB Flash Drive card (for what maybe $5.00?) and put your favorite songs on it and use that instead of buying an IPOD. the usb stick will work exactly the same way. one of the neatest things about SYNC is that it is SOFTWARE. This means it is fully upgradable! For example version "2.0" is supposed to come out in the spring with some new features/improvements available! not to worry, if you have v1.0 you can simply download the newest version from the website to your usb flash drive and then upgrade your current version in your vehicle for free. the future is wide open. as new cell phone technology becomes available, sync should perform the new features as well. a couple of examples of possible future options: Does your cell phone currently or a year or two from now offer GPS directions/navigation? If so the sync could read you those turn by turn directions even if you didn't choose the touch screen navigation option on your vehicle! Does your teen driver's phone have GPS? you may be able to monitor their LOCATION, driving habits and/or SPEEDS! to see if they are safe, and responsible enough to borrow the car again next weekend! what parent wouldn't love to have this ability! the possibilities are only limited by upcoming cell phone technology, which has come quite a long way in just a few years. later, chris

thanks for explaining... once again, SYNC allows you to use your phone and your ipod HANDS FREE! that is the whole point. You can now keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel for SAFER DRIVING. Your fingers, however free of charge they may be, can't do that if they are busy holding your phone or selecting your favorite track on your ipod. keep in mind, talking on the cell phone while driving is becoming illegal in many places. do you suppose your fingers can get you out of a ticket as well? SYNC certainly isn't a necessity, but it is a nice new feature to enhance driver safety and convenience. sounds to me like some folks have "sync envy". later, Chris

you can talk to you fingers and they play your favorite music?
