We'll just have to disagree on that. Maybe mine is somehow different but there is no give on my Sync 2 screen, it feels like glass. Like I said, if you have regular gloves on, you can press as hard as you want and the screen will not work. Then I bought special gloves for capacitive screens and it works easily now.
Yeah, MFT/Sync 2 on the 2015 does not have a capacitive touch screen. It is resistive.
He's referring to simultaneous touch points. You might want to check that you have the same unit as us, because my 2015 w/MyFord Touch definitely has a resistive touch screen.
OK now that multiple people say I have a resistive screen I believe you... No wait, I still don't so lets just get past the screen itself. It's nice to know about the simultaneious touch points, not sure why it's important though. I can't think of 1 time I touched my screen in more than 1 place at a time.
The biggest change is allow enablement for Android Auto and Apple Car Play.
I have an iPhone so I guess it would just be the built in Apple music I use already and for assist, I can just use Siri. I looked into it before and was told you can't use Waze, just the built-in Apple Maps. Waze would be VERY nice!
That certainly is different, I never heard about that and it would certainly limit any support for Sync 2 going forward I'm sure. Like I said though, I've lost faith in Ford doing ANY updates. I remember when I bought my iPhone 4 a long time ago. I was sure Ford would at least add support for THE most popular phone on the planet but no...
That's pretty much my understanding of the 2 screens. Again, I'm certain mine is capacitive. I tried to use a stylus when it was new because of the finger prints on the screen. A stylus won't work, it had to be my finger and I barely have to touch it. Plus like I said, it won't work with regular gloves on.
I was really hoping there was some apps or usage that Apple Car Play added that would make it worth the expense of upgrading but it sounds like that's not the case. Maybe even if I didn't already have Nav, adding that would make it worth it but I really don't see it being worth the expense I guess. Thanks for the info though, I really appreciate it.
No Problems
Sync2 MFT is resistive, always was.
Yes. Definitely not aftermarket. If some day when I get my car back from Ford and I find out it's resistive, I'll come back here and admit it. So many seem convinced maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I got those gloves because of my phone, not my screen in the car. Either way that isn't enough to go spend $1,700 either. The touch screen has never been an issue for me.
2015 model=sync2=resistive screen
???????
AA and CP are property of Google and Apple respectively. Each one takes control of your APIM and runs software from the phone.
lol Im aware of that, I thought you were saying Ford is no longer responsible for pushing the actual update out that enables AA and CP
