Ford bring Siri Eyes Free on 5 million cars that were manufactured between 2011 and 2015 by the famous car manufacturing company, so you could benefit from this system even in your car if it is not older than 4 years.
According to those from Ford, support for the Siri Eyes Free system is implemented through a software update that will be available for the SYNC infotainment system, its installation most likely having to be done at a service authorized by the American company.
Those who have updated their SYNC infotainment system in the last 2 months already have Siri Eyes Free available, with the company waiting 60 days to see what problems users have before officially announcing support for the technology implemented together with Apple.
Siri Eyes Free allows drivers to activate the Siri personal assistant through a button on the car's steering wheel, and from there you can communicate with this system to control your iPhones while driving, but only if you have the SYNC infotainment system.
SYNC, Ford's entertainment and communications system, was designed to be flexible and updatable, just like other mobile technologies, so our customers are able to get the most out of their smartphones while behind the wheel. Siri Eyes-Free is another great voice-activated feature that not only adds convenience but helps our customers keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
Although Siri Eyes Free is not similar to CarPlay implemented in various other cars, the Ford company still offers drivers the opportunity to listen to music, write messages, etc., through iPhone terminals, so many people will be able to enjoy the new functionality.
If you want to benefit from this update, it would be good to go to an authorized Ford service in Romania and ask them to install version 3.8 of SYNC, and after completing the procedure you should be able to activate Siri with the button dedicated to voice commands available on the steering wheel .
