Ford Relaunching MyFord Touch

Starting in 2013, models like the Ford Fusion and Ford Flex receive an updated MyFord Touch nav and infotainment system.

Called MyFord Touch 2.0, this updated system improves upon the first-generation product.

On-screen fonts are larger and bolder. Buttons have a slight 3D effect, resembling physical controls. The layout has been simplified, with a large clock at its center. The audio screen has also been reworked, this time placing radio presets at the bottom-center of the display, similar to traditional radios.

Navigation graphics were overhauled for clearer maps and better contrast. Landmarks will now appear in 3D. Over 1000 different MyFord Touch pages were reconfigured.

Graydon Reitz, Ford's director for electrical and electronic systems, calls the new version is "a significant improvement." The voice recognition feature is more accurate, accepting simpler commands like "Find directions to..." along with Sirius Game Finder, allowing sports fans to command "Tune to Detroit Lions game."1
