EU 'Stangs base Sync II and MyColor Infos needed!

[Mike Delo]

Hello Everyone.
I have two important questions:

First; I ordered an EB with no mustang pack and no nav so I was wondering how my infotainement system is.
I saw the base system in US cars with 4" screen and additional square buttons BUT in the ford EU specs they report as standard equipement a 8" touch screen sync II system....is it correct or only for nav version??

Second; does a no mustang pack car like mine have the MyColor option?

Hope you have those infos!

The EU spec cars come with all equipment of the US 'premium' package. So it has basically has everything except navigation and the shaker-pro (with subwoofer in the trunk).

Hello Lord,
Well, I'm not sure of this, as I know all EU cars comes with Performance pack but not with Premium pack, this is why for us there is the "Mustang pack" a sort of premium pack.
Obviously hope I'm wrong!!!
But I'm DAMN curious to know how a no Mustang pack cars interiors and specs are!! in particular for the infotainement system and mycolor!!

In the US you have the 'Premuim' package (which is NOT the Performance Package) that adds sync II and the 8" screen, mycolor etc. On top of that you also have the Premium Trim (which adds soft touch door panels etc).

The Performance pack is standard on EU spec cars (minus a few things)
The Premium package is also pretty much standard (minus maybe the AC seats). So none of the EU cars will have the 4" screen.
The additional premium trim is part of the what is called the 'Custom pack' in Europe. (which also adds the chrome details, silver wheels, nav and shaker-pro subwoofer, premium leather (AC) seats etc.)

Oh, well, in this case I'm super glad to be wrong!

But my question was because watching and searching pics, ALL the US 8" systems are with nav graphic, I can't find an 8" system with non nav icon (the standard 8" SyncII desktop has four sections, phone connectivity, nav, radio and climate control...and watching the no premium or custom pack EU stangs like mine I've no nav and phone connectivity...).

Anyway, thank you again!

Most pictures you find, are of the fully loaded models, so they will have navigation. I recall that if you do not have nav, you get some other information in that quarter, like a compass or something.

Watch this bit of review:
It shows a model with 8" screen/track apps, but without nav. (We do not get the centre gauges in case you are wondering)

 

[Mike Delo]

Mh, as I can see and hear the second icon is for the navigation, the man speaking says that...and the compass icon is for the nav, this is for shure...so, it would be great to have a pic or video with EU car with no custom, mustang or special packages...

 

[Lord Thunder]

He's talking fast, but what he says is: "... and navigation, my particular tester (the car) is missing the nav option, it's about $795 extra."
So this shows you can have sync-II with the 8" screen without the nav option. This is what you'll get if you do not order the nav or custom pack on an EU car.

 

[Mike Delo]

Well, You're right again! I've listened again, he says that!
Thank you Lord!

Compass is a placeholder replacement for the navigation. Right upper corner is reserved for the nav system and if you don't have one you will just see the compass there all the time - so that part of the screen is not completely empty.

I have been told that RHD production starts in August for the UK, so I'm guessing that's running with 2016 cars, does that mean we get the sync 3 upgrade?

Mike, the Ambient Lighting and the Pony Projection (both cool features!) appear in the owner's manual so... we'll have them for sure!
Anyway, I fear my daughter will impose a pink light

That's exactly my question too.

I have the feeling that for EU market , 2016 features will apply when we'll order within 2016.

No.

I'm guessing EU will be stuck with Sync2 for at least a year longer - let the Americans figure out the bugs and let Ford (or their partners) have time to translate into all the languages you guys insist on using (I'm perfectly fine with English and won't ever expect the system to be in Norwegian )

We're also getting a "modified" version of the Sync2, with DAB+ instead of satellite (I'm guessing AM is out aswell) and a different navigation package (Sony). So... yea I think Sync3 is a bit off for us.
