good2Bking Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I have the My Ford Touch with SYNC on my '13 Edge SEL. I've had the vehicle for almost a year (October) and never had an active SYNC subscription. So can anyone tell me if a paid SYNC subscription is worth it?

drpepper Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) NO! Most of what the "paid" Ford version offers you can find here & its FREE! Calling 408-752-8052. (ADD FREE) Identical reports, reporters, can save favorites- speech rec, driving directions. The turn by turn directions-most report does not recalculate or not useful. Any smart phone with the apps ( google, mapquest, apple maps) or as most use now WAZE get a better experience & have FREE TRAFFIC. Ford does not give FREE TRAFFIC. I used to like Fords "send to sync" cause I have built in nav but Ford took away the Google send to sync- MapQuest (other option) over past 5 years has been SPOTY at best ! Many times off line or mapquest needs an update or it sends mixed https & http & ford cant handle. Besides what ANNOYED most people is MFT and MLT HAD the ability to take your download phone contacts-take the address portion of contact- & send to your built in nav- ( Any new address you wanted to go to - add into phone contacts & it would download to car & then to you nav- wow- BUT problem is for most it didn't work properly & Ford instead of fixing- just took feature away & said use the PAID Sync Subscription version.- When they offered free. And get this the 1 year subscription is $199 for Lincoln owners. No lower option. It was free,. Ford offers Ford owners a $60 but refuses to offer to Lincoln. How is that for Price gauging.

good2Bking Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Helpful. Thanks. I never had the "try it before you buy it" experience that comes with a "new" Edge, so just wanted some user feedback before trying. As it stands right now, doesn't seem worth it.
