Ford Adds Sync to Sync

Ford adds the ability to Sync Google Maps directions to your Sync Traffic, Directions, and Information (TDI) equipped vehicle. Drivers will be able to look up directions on their home computers and beam the directions right to their vehicle. TDI enables vehicles without a full map navigation system in place to get around comfortably.

This solution will work on any Sync equipped vehicle but requires a phone with an internet connection to download the map routes to the vehicle. If technology keeps integrating at this rate, I'll be programming my laundry from my Ford Escape soon!

Please see the full press release for details on Autoblog, and don't forget to visit Family Ford and take a test drive!

Ford Fiesta - Top Ten Coolest Cars Under $18,000

The 2011 Ford Fiesta nabbed a mention on Kelly Blue Books Top 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000 thanks to its 28 mpg city, 40 mpg highway EPA rating and mile-long standard feature list, not to mention it's updated styling and fantastic looks. Here is what the Kelly Blue Book has to say:

Dear Honda Fit: We still really, really like you, and you're still one of the 10
Coolest Cars Under $18,000, but we've met someone better looking, nicer inside
and even more fun. The 2011 Ford Fiesta isn't just the best domestic sub-compact
of all time, the new kid is already the coolest car in its class.

‘I love my Family Ford’ travel around USA!

One of our customers and brother firefighter took his Family Ford van for a vacation with his family and visited some of our Nations important or historical sites.

They have taken pictures at several of these sites with their Family Ford licenses plate frame and has given me permission to put them on our BLOG.

At Patriot Point and the USS Yorktown CV10. The history of Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum began in the summer of 1975 when the legendary aircraft carrier USS Yorktown appeared on the horizon of Charleston Harbor. A few months later, the USS Yorktown was dedicated as the first ship of the Naval & Maritime Museum on the 200th birthday of the United States Navy. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum was officially opened to the public on January 3, 1976.

Blackbeard’s Cove Family Fun Park

Fort Sumter National Monument Decades of growing strife between North and South erupted in civil war on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this Federal fort in Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter surrendered 34 hours later. Union forces would try for nearly four years to take it back.

2011 Ford Fiesta to include AppLink, voice-control Blackberry and Android apps

AppLink will be exclusive to the 2011 Ford Fiesta when it hits dealers later this year and, at launch, it will only work with Blackberry and Android-powered devices running SYNC software. When it does arrive, the first three supported apps are Stitcher, Pandora (bye-bye XM/Sirius) and Orangatame's OpenBeak Twitter program. More apps are sure to be available in the following months and Ford has setup a developer channel on SYNCMyRide to get programmers going.

For those of you currently rolling in a SYNC-equipped Ford or Lincoln, AppLink will be available as a download sometime next year, and for all you Apple fanboys, fear not, iPhone integration is on the way. Make the jump for all the details and a brace of videos showing off the technology.
