Coolhunting is reporting on this new app that allows your car to control the apps on your phone. Cool and safe!
Ford calls this new product Applink.
"The new addition to the system allows drivers to navigate mobile apps on a device using Bluetooth (no data plan required) to connect to the vehicle's controls or voice commands—starting with the 2011 Fiesta, with all Ford and Lincoln models to follow eventually. While the initial launch supports programs developed for BlackBerry and Android platforms, a version coming this fall will include Apple's too."
I don't know what apps you can control exactly besides the mentioned Pandora, Stitcher, and OpenBreak, but it is a start. This new piece of technology will improve and it will be available everywhere in no time. The sync system starts at $395 and can be an add-on to your new Ford.
