Lincoln In Car Technology

Ford's luxury brand shares use of the company's industry-standard SYNC voice control and smartphone integration infotainment platform. You'll have access to advanced features like AppLink, which brings internet-connected apps like Pandora, iHeartRadio, Slacker, NPR News and SYNC Destinations. Taking the experience a step further is MyLincoln Touch, a large centrally mounted touchscreen display handling everything from audio and apps to climate controls, navigation and calling. Ford made key updates to MyLincoln Touch in 2012 to make things easier to use, though be advised that some owners have still found it naggingly complex when compared to competitors' systems.
