Today, multimedia systems are in and of themselves an assumed presence. Every vehicle has a relatively advanced one. Some of them are very user-friendly, others a real pain in the butt, usually because they’re unnecessarily complicated. Ford's, which has since its beginnings been called SYNC, thankfully falls into the first category. It wasn't perfect in its early days, but it's been refined over the years and today it’s definitely more of a positive than a negative element when in use.
