Ford Sync Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities provided by a 3G modem

Ford is trying so hard to have its Sync take off and become mainstream. For the first couple of years I was like any other person and said, “Cool feature, not gonna go out of my way to buy it.” A lot of people agreed with me too that Sync was just not a selling point for Ford. But now that Sync is rolling into its next generation it will be interesting to see what new features they will add to try and revive the American car industry.

The first feature that we heard of got me really excited when I heard about it. A Wi-Fi hotspot on the go. So now when you are on those 12 hour treks across the country you can have Wi-Fi. But wait. Can’t you already do that with a MiFi? And on top of that you have to provide a 3G modem to use on Sync’s new proprietary service.

Wham! Turn off to me. That sounds like Ford trying to make a quick buck on a few naive consumers.
