Wow, super excited about easier Chinese destination entry! I shoulda waited for a 16.

 

What is "Chinese destination entry"?

 

As an Android user, I'm even more excited about this release. Does nothing for me.
I would have preferred they freshen the look of Sync 2, since let's face it, Ford is about to leave us high and dry since all research will go into Sync 3 from here on out.

 

I did the update and love it. It is perfect for me to now being able to send a text without having to touch my phone.
