FORD will be making it easier than ever for listeners to scan for their favorite radio stations, with an update to their MICROSOFT-powered SYNC in-car entertainment and connectivity platform.

Drivers will be able to just say "play FM 101.9," instead of having to previously inform the system as to whether you would want to tune in to regular radio or satellite radio. Users will also be able to speak "play," in order to request a specific artist, song, album or genre.
