"  If you&amp;#039;re in the market for a new car, you may be wondering whether you need new electronics options like Ford SYNC, GM OnStar, or Mercedes-Benz mbrace. Each system creates a unique experience by tying the convenience and versatility of your smartphone to the functionality of your automobile. As you may have read in a previous blog, I spent a good deal of time with the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Taurus SHO, both equipped with Ford SYNC. While you&amp;#039;ll always want to try something out first before you buy, my experiences with SYNC might help pull you in the right direction. Not So Much...   You&amp;#039;re already technically challenged You don&amp;#039;t have a smartphone, or already feel clumsy with a cellphone You already know where you&amp;#039;re going and rarely need navigation-related help Can&amp;#039;t spare an extra $400 for the option in models that don&amp;#039;t come standard with SYNC  For You!   You already love your smartphone or cellphone, or are looking to learn more, and expand its capabilities Can&amp;#039;t go for a minute without your music playlists saved on your phone or iPod Love streaming Internet radio Like the added peace of mind that 911 assist provides Need help managing phone calls and texts while driving, or worry about a child using a cellphone while driving Like the Star Trek-era idea of &amp;quot;telling&amp;quot; commands to your vehicle Want to impress your friends  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
