[Ford] has revealed that its tuned-up infotainment will first show up in 2016 Escape and Fiesta models, both of which go on sale this summer. If you'll recall, this version of Sync makes some big strides toward matching the experience you get on your smartphone. Besides touting an easier (or rather, less cumbersome) and speedier interface, it also brings in support for phone-like capacitive touch, more natural voice commands and WiFi updating. Sync 3 is much smarter about talking to your mobile gear, as well. It'll be one of the first shipping in-car platforms to support both Android Auto and CarPlay, and it'll eventually communicate directly with supporting navigation apps

You don't.

Sync 3 requires a more robust processor and memory allotment. It also has multi-touch support which the current touchscreen does not support. Factor in the BCM integration for driver information alerts, climate control and more... It's just not feasible.

I don't like the look of it as much. Rather it be a black background as I can see the white glow being annoying at night. But if it's coming on the 2016 Fiesta ST then I'll be getting it when I get my car I will be ordering soon. Seems to run better than MFT, I just hope I like it better because I kinda liked the way MFT was setup. The biggest problem was slowness and freezing from what I understand.

Without seeing more, I'd be willing to bet it has a dark scheme for night conditions, similar to what you see in the current maps.

Says there's a new improved night mode so that answers that.

I'm just as excited about iPhone 6 battery cases as the next guy, but I've never seen a case with a night mode...

That's weird. Apparently when I scroll down on the page I was on the URL up top automatically changed to the iPhone thing.

So here's the actual page I was looking at...
