"Sync can also download your phone book from most newer cellphones and allow voice through speaker calls (mic is in the rearview mirror). Sync can even monitor your phone and notify you on screen when you have a new Text message (available on certain Bluetooth phones). The car can read plain English text messages to you but the technology isn’t available yet for you to dictate replys back to the sender. What Ford has done, brilliantly, was set up a group of likely replies that you can simply press to send as a reply: “Yes”, “no”, “see you later”, etc are among them. "


The way I see it, the only place I actually want to be able to block calls is in the movie theater. I never take a call during a movie OUT OF RESPECT FOR OTHER VIEWERS.

2. Requires offspring to have compatible handset.
3. Easily worked around, 'tinfoil' (Faraday cage), spare mobile, software work around etc
4. Why not build into car? My Samsung had an auto text response if you pushed the volume button when it rang. Building it into car would also allow for more safety features - e.g: "Contact Emergency Services upon Airbag Activation" or whatnot.
5. Monthly usage fee?

I just don't get it. It seems so poor I'm tempted to think Engadget might have missed some crucial detail.
