The issues with MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch infotainment systems are well-known by users: they’re slow, complicated and frustrating to use due to reliability bugs.
Fortunately, Ford is rolling out an all-new SYNC 3 infotainment system across the entire 2016 lineup and promises most of the glitches will be fixed. The folks from Consumer Reports wanted to see how MyFord Touch compares with SYNC 3 and they released a video which highlights the differences in design and usability between the two systems.

It also has a new processor which makes it operate much quicker than MyFord Touch. Another feature that will be appreciated is the larger font size and bigger buttons.
