MyFord Touch is a computer-like system, based on Microsoft's proprietary SYNC, which is used to control most secondary vehicle systems and connectivity functions in current Ford cars. MyFord Touch's user interface consists of an 8-inch touch screen LCD panel mounted in the center stack and supplemented by two 4.2-inch screens in the instrument cluster, on either side of the center-mounted speedometer dial and controlled via five-way switches on each side of the steering wheel. Lincoln also features its own MyFord Touch based system called MyLincoln Touch which gets its own unique graphical user interface.
