In our date night test drive, I found the touch screen to work well with light taps, and poorly with harder & longer ones (which I'm very prone to do if the first touch does not register).
Let me clarify. I understand the system I am in the computer software business. What i mean is insensitivity of the touch screen.Heck I have been a beta tester for years . I mean Like the early navigation systems in the 90s. consumer reports has highlighted the problem in 2013. There are lags and random widget performance. Sometimes Widgets work first time and other times I have to touch three times. I guess i expected much more for the $800 uprcharge .What is with the touch screen?
It is horrible. Touch sensitivity is really bad. Can't tell if it is the software or the hardware. I could not imagine trying to control the hvac with it. Thank god they gave me buttons. Now the second most frustrating thing is trying to play the radio, or make a call or navigate or ....
I mean you could get into an accident having to repetitively pecking and re pecking around like a chicken pecking for corn to get the thing to work.
Fair enough. I think a lot of the issues with sync can be chalked up to it being built on an ANCIENT version of Windows. It also does not respond well to operation while driving. Just to make sure we're covering all bases you weren't driving were you? If you are driving you need to use the wheel mounted controls or voice...Let me clarify.

Thank you.Hi, 2Geeky4U, I posted a reference to an app I like, MyFord Touch Guide app, so you can have a drink & check out the MyTouch system from the couch before you wreck..
The system does seem to get better after a couple days! At first when switching from Bluetooth audio to Sirius, then back to Bluetooth, there was a long delay in reconnecting & the audio was not routed thru the speakers. Annoying & required repairing the phone to Sync 2x. No longer a problem & reconnects to bluetooth quickly.
The message center area behind the steering wheel is a much easier place to control entertainment & Nav while driving. I find it easier & quicker than voice ctrl at times as I can't always remember the specific voice commands.
Hope this helps. .
No I was sitting in my garage.Fair enough. I think a lot of the issues with sync can be chalked up to it being built on an ANCIENT version of Windows.
