[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 993689, member: 65699"] Wow, I'm shocked to hear that there are people on Earth who don't like Sync. So far it's only weakness IMO is how its effectiveness is reduced with other people in the car. I store a lot of music on my phone, so when I plug it into the Sync it not only charges my phone but gives me voice and steering wheel controls to navigate through all the thousands of tracks. Just using the line-in means that if I want to change tracks, I'll have to mess with my phone while I'm driving. Technically that's legal here in MD, but it's still not a smart idea. I only have an Android phone, so I'm glad for the Sync voice commands. It doesn't have an iPhone-like button to press on my phone to have it take voice commands. If it did, I'd have to turn off the radio manually, so that the phone could "hear" me. Sync does that for me automatically. I'm not a fan of wearing the bluetooth headset for long periods of time. I don't care much about the bluetooth streaming audio, Pandora blows through my data cap and drives me nuts when I'm not in a 4g area as the songs have to buffer before they play. But it's nice that it is there. Satellite Radio is nice to have, but it doesn't cut it by itself as often I find all the stations I care for playing songs that I don't care for, and then I need my voice commands to play my massive MP3 collection.
