3. Me: "Take me to "XXXX"
4. "Please say a device name" (or whatever it says)

You do this same sequence on just about any smart phone and a point or address is found and at worst it asks for confirmation.

I get that there are several feature items this A.I. computer is capable of taking commands to control, but so does our phones. And the fact that Sync 2 and 3 differ in hardware instead of software (firmware) just disappoints me for any possibility of improvements of accuracy.

Our phones even learn from consistent commands, such as instructing a call to a contact. The first few times it may ask you to confirm the contact based on similar sounds or even multiple phone numbers. Eventually, in my experience anyway, my phone learned who to call or what number. When calling through Sync 2, I have several contacts that I have to manually select from the list no matter how I pronounce them or how many times I've selected the same person. If this wasn't a $50k vehicle it may be different but I hope there will be a fix for such inadequacies soon.

I will add that I have seen the same issues with GM products so this isn't limited to just our beloved F-150s.

I don't know where you can get these discs from but apparently our ancestors used them to store their music 15-20 songs at a time. Its the retro touches like this and gasoline engines that make me smile when I think I bought a FORD...

Honestly though I thought to myself, WFT am I ever going to use that for?!? I really would have preferred a small storage bin there instead lol.

But it actually increased the responsiveness of the touchscreen. Significantly. I was bummed at the lackluster performance initially and then I realized i didnt care one bit how the thing looked once I realized that I only need to lightly touch the screen now. I think I could prolly 100 of em and repackage them as a touch screen enhancer/upgrade and mark 'em up to "NOW $88.00 ON SALE! WAS $99.99" and buy something else for the truck.
