Microsoft Sync can be used to fully integrate your phone and music player, giving you the most functional system around. Want to be able to voice command all of your phone calls, as well as any other feature you may get with your cell? Go for it. How about controlling your playlists with a few spoken words? Now you can. The Microsoft Sync comes as an available option on most Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, and woks with virtually any phone with Bluetooth connectivity. You can also dock your audio devices, allowing it to stay charged via the USB port while you tell it what you want to play. You will never need to use your hands again, which means less distractions on the road.

Now, two new features are becoming available this fall that will practically put this as the must-have vehicle option (beating OnStar in the process). First, you will soon be able to have a direct connection to emergency services with 911 Assist, which contacts 911 through your BLuetooth connected cell phone when an accident occurs. Second, users will have the option to run diagnostic reports on their own vehicle, in order to keep your car running healthy and away from the auto garages.

With something as good as this, it makes you wish you drove a Ford. I couldn’t find anything relating to the availability for other makes and models somewhere in the future, so for now if you don’t have a compatible car, you are out of luck. If you want to find out more about this really cool tool to keep you and your car connected, go here. And then when you really want one bad enough, keep it in mind the next time you go car shopping.

• Text Away Wihout the Finger Cramps. I am not a fan of text messages. My thirteen year old daughter chooses this as her main source of communication.
