I must be the only person that DOESN'T use the Sync system on their Ford vehicle. 2011 Mercury Milan I4. Never used Sync, and for what it's worth.. the backup camera to me is more an annoyance and hindrance than a help.

Every time the sensors go off, it's not only when I already see something behind me, but they'll go off if something is next to or even in front of the car. So the annoying triple chirp of 'DUDE YOU'RE GONNA HIT IT!' happens when something is right next to my side mirror.

WTF?

I just turn it off before I get the car in gear now. I'll glad my T/A doesn't have it anyway.

Less complicated and I can actually use my god given senses to just drive without having a wannabe Kit trying to suggest music to me between 4th and 5th gear. Never use my phone in the car so bluetooth is useless as well, if I have a call, there's voicemail. I'll just get to it later if I remember it.

TLDR: Stupid useless technology.
