The Sirius weather and trafic interface does not work real well (not a Ford problem just the delay in getting the data to you issue) I have that on another car and the info is always late getting updated. 15 min. delay on info is a life time when you are talking traffic. Seems like their efforts would be better spent on improving some of the stuff that they already offer.

You have to look around the site. there are cars listed. Also it required bluetooth and that is it for the phone part. Nice system that you can control music and other features with your voice.

We had something like this in the home audio world a while back. I beleive it was called "Hall". Over all people just did not like it. Not saying this is better or worse, I have not tried it myself. It just seems odd that people will want to talk to their car

LOL Talking to your car i know. but makes it easier to keep your eyes on the road if you can tell everything what to do and the system actually works well.

Presumably the MP3s are in the dash unit.... so you have to be able to trasfer that info too.

Basically the head unit has to be "ready" for it from the beginning.

Partially yes. The voice controlls is all done by the module for sync. I purchased the Premium system so it has mp3 and stuff ready just need sync basically added. cant say anything about the non NAV premium systems though.

Yeah its not an option on the 08 Mariner or Escape atm. but I was told by someone at ford that works for ford they are work on an addon for some 07 and many 08's that do not currently have sync. he said est eta was 2 months but prolly more like 4 or 5. This is not an offical responce of ford just a responce i received from a guy i know that works for them.
