<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sync/">Sync</a> first showed up in 2007, when it was offered as a $395 option in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/focus">2008 Ford Focus</a>. Since then, the Sync system has gone on to find a home in nearly all of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/lincoln/">Lincoln's</a> vehicles. The infotainment system has helped <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/25/ford-transaction-prices-up-14-due-to-sync-other-technology/">raise the average transaction price of Ford vehicle sales</a>, and, after installing the three millionth system, there appear to be no signs of a Sync slowdown.<br />
<br />
The customer has spoken and they want Sync. It comes standard on the Lincoln lineup but 80 percent of Ford customers spend the extra dough if Sync is available for their vehicle. As issues with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/distracted+driving">distracted driving</a> continue to rise to the forefront of safety discussions, customers will continue to gobble up products like the Sync system. If a driver is able to stay connected while keeping his or eyes on the road (or at least consumers believe that to be the case), it may not be long until Sync celebrates its 10 millionth unit sold.<br />
