This morning, thanks to help from a smart SYNC phone support tech, I figured out how to back out of a Navigation session with a single press of the MyFord Touch screen. Up till now, I've had frustrating sessions, usually when Darlene is in the car getting irritated at the entire whacky tech features of the car, trying to back up from the menu layers of a Nav search for, say, a Thai restaurant near Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Does the "Back" voice command work, to retreat to an earlier menu? No. Does "cancel" do anything? Actually yes, but it's more like a pause button. When you press the Voice Command button on the steering committee, the MFT voice will resume her demands that you choose which line you want for a specific Thai restaurant.
It turns out there is a Home button on the touch screen. Right at the bottom, in the center. Hard to miss. When you want to exit from one of the four MFT applications, you simply press that button and you're home. Brilliant.
Also this week, I have advice on something you received two of with your new 2012 Ford Focus or comparable car. I lost mine, and it the replacement cost me a pretty penny at Prime Ford in Saco. BTW, I'm very impressed with the professionalism and service I received at Prime. Unlike the Watertown, Mass., Ford dealer, where I was treated like an illegal immigrant when I called seeking a replacement key and they found out I had purchased the car in, gasp, Colorado, Mandy and the folks at Prime today were friendly and very helpful. Henry and I were both very impressed.
I'll be continuing a bi-weekly schedule for this podcast for a while. See you in two weeks! --Len
