Ford Improves SYNC 3 by Adding Alexa and Waze

The Verge

Ford’s new small economy SUV, the EcoSport will soon be available in the US, and is equipped with the latest version of its in-car infotainment system SYNC 3.

Two big names, Amazon Alexa and Google’s WAZE have been added to its SYNC in-car infotainment system for iPhone users.

“You can now get in a car with SYNC 3, plug in your iPhone, and navigate with: Ford’s navigation, Waze’s navigation, or Apple Maps. But if you fire up CarPlay, you won’t be able to use Alexa anymore until you back out to the SYNC menus. You also can’t, say, ask Alexa to get directions in Waze instead of with Ford’s navigation system.”
