Aaron J Agreed, I'm a software developer and want to develop apps for applink. I can't because my fully loaded Ford Taurus SHO doesn't have AppLink. Hell I'd even take an honest response about the technical challenge why they cant update it, this silence is very frustrating

Kevin M I'm in the market for a new car, and I like some of the options that come with MyFord Touch on the Fusion. However, they also come on the Honda Accord. Applink was the bonus, however after finding out that it's not available on the Touch... I'm looking a lot harder at the Accord.

Scott T I have a 2011 Ford Edge Limited, in all the commercials they touted having Applink. I go to buy it and nope, no Applink. I won't say I was tricked, because I should've asked more questions, but I would appreciate having Applink. It seems that Ford, refuses to put it in cars with MyFord Touch. I am really disappointed, I supported Ford during the bailout times, it's a shame Ford won't support us when we request this feature be added.

Stu R Unbelievable. I just spent about three hours trying to figure out why I could not use Pandora, MLB, and other aps with AppLink. I though something was broke. $40K for a Fusion Energi Titanium and the Kia I rented in Mexico had a better connection to my phone. I love this car but C'mon Ford!

Tavon B Spotify can now be used through AppLink. I use that music service and it would be great if Ford updated MyFord Touch with this capability so I don't have to take my eyes off the road to skip a song.

SCCM_Expert What I find very interesting here is that no one from Ford has made a comment on this subject. The silence is deafening. The Ford C-Max that I bought in December has had one issue that finally got resolved after 3 months. Ok, it's a new vehicle with new technology, I get that. I've been an IT Engineer for 20 years now. Having said that, it's the first domestic car I have bought in over 30 years and I bought it for the technology and the fuel mileage. But not having applink available, and the fact that the iPhone (iOS 6, which includes MAP for texting) does not work, is more than disappointing. It appears that the next car I'll be going back to the German manufactures. Can you say Audi?

That's odd, I think to myself. Get online, and come to find out that MFT doesn't support App Link?! Are you kidding me? The highly advertised and cornerstone of why I chose Ford and Sync in the first places ISN'T supported by the MORE expensive option......?! WHAT? I'm PRAYING for an update that adds it. Please just at least let us know it's in the works!!!!!!!!!

Manny R MY comment about how disgusted I was when I had just come home with my new F150 the other night and went online to look for instructions how to use APPLINK just to find out that it's only supported on the lower end SYNC devices , somehow didn't make it here. Lets see if this makes it. This is my 5th Ford Truck and I am very disappointed in Ford's lack of loyalty to those willing to pay for a "better" truck. What a slap in the face! It was one of the incentives for me to upgrade only to find out all their hype about Applink was COMPLETELY misleading.

Robert B Add my voice to the need for applink on My Ford Touch. Funny that at CES you would announce the developer plan to build apps that use AppLink, but the people that would use it most (those with My Ford Touch), don't get it!!!! Why did we pay extra to get the functionality of My Ford Touch, when lower end vehicles get more usability??!?!?!

Carol I totally agree. I just bought a 2013 Fusion Titanium because of the technology! The salesman didn't even know that Applink was not supported by MFT. I discovered the hard way by researching why I couldn't make it work. I am a bit ticked over that. Like someone here said, if Ford would just make an announcement that it was coming for sure, I'd feel alot better. It would also be nice if they'd explain WHY the high end cars wiht Touch don't have it.

Thomas S Just bought a 2013 Fusion Titanium with MyFord Touch. Thought I was getting AppLink. Then I checked the owners manual and that is when I found... l "Note: The AppLink feature is not available if your vehicle is equipped with the MyFord Touch®". Add my voice to those who say to Ford... Fool me once... You ignore what your customers are saying at your own peril.

Matthew J I'm a software developer at a large corporation, evaluating in-vehicle infotainment systems and determining if we should invest our development efforts there. We looked at Ford's AppLink technology first, and it's definitely the most mature connectivity strategy around. However, the fact that the most heavily upgraded Ford vehicles, bought by the savviest tech users, are excluded from AppLink has caused us some serious disappointment. We're currently prioritizing other auto manufacturers over Ford because of this lack of foresight on Ford's part.

Q M As the CEO of a mobile software company, one of the top reasons for choosing my next vehicle is technology. Ford's Sync system is simply leaps and bounds ahead of competitors. However, when I discovered that the otherwise jaw-droppingly fantastic MyFord Touch system didn't include the AppLink technology, I am now questioning whether or not the Edge is the right vehicle for us. App connectivity is a huge issue for me, and it seems many, many others. Since I'm responsible for making apps for a myriad of devices, I understand the difficulties in adding new functionality into an existing system/hardware set-up. That being said, with two companies the size of Ford and Microsoft - this should already be done by now. Ford would do well to at least come forth and make the announcement, "If you buy a MyFord Touch system, you will get an update that will enable AppLink. The date is to TBD."

Jason H Ford really messed this one up, and it's very disappointing, as studies show that new car shoppers are looking at technology as driving force to new vehicle purchases. Without this feature more people are going to look elsewhere Ford. While I am impressed with my 2013 Fusion Titanium, as a top of the line trim package, I should be able to enjoy the same features that are on lesser priced models. Ford is pushing Applink and getting developers to work with, now Ford push to get it out to all of us MFT owners!!! Just seems like commen sense to me...

Jarred F I just bought the 2013 Escape SEL. Technology was one of the big reasons I went with Ford and MFT. I was so dissapointed after spending a week trying to get my apps to sync, that I had to call Sync support to be told AppLink isn't on my car. What is the "install apps" button for? Very misleading. Ford, please add this functionality soon. At the very least, communicate if it is even in the works and/or projected availiblity.

Ryan S Months later and still no sign of an ETA or even any updates about it. Ford is making a HUGE mistake if they don't get AppLink out for MFT within the next month, especially after making a huge display about it at CES. How can you advertise your cars as having the best integration with technology, and yet your most technologically advanced entertainment system doesn't support AppLink? I can understand it will take longer to develop the framework for the different UI, but even 6 months of delaying a product can kill its chances of ever taking off.

Randall B I agree this is a must. I just purchased a 2013 fusion with myford touch and am extremely disappointed that it does not have applink. My f150 with the base sync version does and I was expecting that and more from an upgraded technology package that costs 1k extra. It would be easy for ford to add this with a software update and it should be done promptly. There are multiple paid apps on my android phone that I expected to be able to use like I do in my truck. Very disappointed by this. If there is a ford representative that reads these and can reply what was the reasoning behind not including it?

Amy S I have a 2013 Fusion ordered that should arrive next week. One of the things that drew me to the Fusion was all of the technology built into the car.

Doug S Since I didn't ask the question, and I didn't know what question to ask my sales person, I had the impression that MFT included in the technology package would include the features that the basic SYNC models would have.

I am extremely dissapointed that applink is not available with MyFord Touch on this model.

Ford needs to do their loyal customers right by sending out an update as soon as possible.
