Thats my point, we got fucked.Exactly.
"Hey, my iPhone 6S Plus is a black, rectangle, just like my iPhone3GS, they should be able to run the same software ..."
Umm, no.
I'm a developer, architect, writer in the tech sector for 25+ years, I get it: planned obsolescence, companies denying an OS feature because (according to them) the hardware is sub-par but when enabled through a hack works 90% effectively, major unexpected changes in product release cycles (see Apple's debacle with the same year release of the iPad 3 and 4).
It's a huge bummer that the early adopters [of 2015 models] are getting shafted, and that Ford for the short initial production couldn't get the new Sync system ready, or could have, but it was easier/cheaper/in their best interest (not the consumers) to use the Sync 2.
It's equally a shitty deal that car electronics aren't as modular as they could be, and it's not like a phone where you can say, OK, I'm just going to suck it up, I want NCF, because we're talking about a $35K purchase, not a $750 outlay.
If it wasn't for seeing 2015s on the road, I wouldn't have my car, so Ford, at the very least, pay the rolling advertisers something, like maybe a discounted Sync 3 kit with the proper plug-n-play harness
Side note: "Oh cash I guess, I mean, it's not deductible is it?"
Now stuck with a shitty system whose navigation system sucks so bad I never even use it and just use my phone. We gave them all the free advertising, hell I had my car since November of '15 with a shit ton of people asking me about it so probably sent more than one buyer their way. At the least give a discounted unit if not a free one to us who bought the new redesign as supposedly the latest and greatest.
We all feel cheated and lied to right to our faces.
