You've probably heard the old joke about how Ford is an acronym for "Found on Road Dead." Well, the Detroit automaker on Monday announced a new and much better way to help you find your parked vehicle, as well as a whole host of other features—just use your smartphone. Ford models equipped with SYNC 3 will feature lots of smartphone accessibility.

With Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, drivers can make calls, check messages or email, play media, access apps, and more without taking their eyes off the road.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto offer very similar experiences. Essentially, it just comes down the details: iTunes vs. Google Play, Siri vs. OK Google, etc. The SYNC feature requires iPhone 5 or higher, or Android 5.0 or higher.Don't Miss: How to Get Android Auto on Your Car Right Now Ford has also expanded its AppLink feature that lets drivers control apps with their voice by adding real-time vehicle data, such as GPS location or mileage, to enhance their performance and usefulness.
