I recently rented a 2011 Ford Edge with Ford Sync. When the time came, I didn't want to turn it back in.
Ford said that AppLink, its application that enables SYNC users to control their smartphone via voice, will be compatible with Apple's iPhone. AppLink will also be a free download for Ford Fiesta owners.
