That was Braille for blind people, after extensive research they realized the blind don't drive much.
hah, that's pretty funny. in all seriousness i use my cruise buttons all the time and the "braille" helps so you can control them. makes it kinda second nature after awhile.
even some simple contour to separate the buttons would help.

I agree, it took me several thousand miles of seat time to memorize the steering wheel controls
I have photophobia, I have trouble with UV light and bright lights in general. Especially 5000 to 6000 Kelvin LED light, I can't stand bright white light. Warm White in the 3000 Kelvin range is much more palatable for me. I have to wear polarized glasses anytime I'm outside or I get a massive headache.
All of my customers are installing 5k led overhead lighting so now I have to buy special safety glasses, in that environment it's almost as bad as being outside.
As much as a PITA as that can be, I have excellent night vision. So yes, I have never used high beams.
No worries, I believe you. I've just never heard of anyone not using their brights. Now it makes more sense. You must love coming across those folks who install fake xenon blue headlights in their standard halogen enclosures.
Same reason Google allows Waze, for customer choice and preference.
Edit: This isnt Sync's fault, its purely Apple BS.
Google and Waze and one in the same........Both products of Alphabet.
Not sure what you mean about " purely Apple BS".
The last time I checked, the factory navigation does not work within AA, Waze, or Apple CarPlay so does your "Apple BS" reply applies to the stock Ford navigation.

I drive about 7 miles on the hwy from one town to another usually not busy at 5:30 when I get on my way. I see people coming, they click off their hi beams, pass me and turn them back on. I just recently started noticing that everybody uses high beams and I never do. It actually made me laugh and now it stands out to me, people are always switching from high to low.
Edit: yes I can't stand all those goofy blue headlights. So dumb

Modern vehicles are much more brightly lit inside than older vehicles. Bright LCD displays in the instrument cluster and on the center stack, electroluminescent gauges, all LED backlighting. So the light "noise" level is high which causes the human eye aperture to close more...which makes it harder to see in the dark outside. Hence the need for brighter lights. Getting in our old 2003 Excursion with simple green backlighting and no LCD displays is refreshing, but the interior seems so dim at night.
As for high beams, many cars and trucks now offer auto high beams, which uses a camera to "see" oncoming vehicle headlights (or taillights) and automatically operate the high beams. The system that can be had on these 2017+ Super Duty trucks works quite well.

IIRC, the "purely Apple BS" comment was in response to somebody who was trying to blame SYNC because they could not use Google Maps within Apple CarPlay. I doubt Apple will ever do anything to integrate with Google, but for sure none of it has to do with SYNC or Ford's navigation system. Talk about a lot of cooks in the kitchen!

i took a knife and narled a small indent on the button to disifer between the buttons,0
helps a ton .. I agree a little anything should have been incorporated .

Back in 2012, Apple ceased to use Google Maps on iOS devices because Google wanted more concessions than Apple was willing to give. Thus, Apple Maps was born. At rollout, it was a pretty poor product that was vastly inferior to Google Maps. At this point, however, Apple Maps is doing very well and widely considered by industry experts to be the equal of Google Maps.
Frankly, I don't know why people get so excited about using CarPlay or AA. I've used CarPlay, and when your phone is attached it quickly takes over the system. The audio player is inferior to Sync, and I don't find the Nav to be much better.
Just so you know, the garage door opener is the worst I have ever had. I need to be right in front of the garage door before I can open or close it. I swear it has a range of about 20 feet max.
I had it on my '13 and I'll agree with you there BUT why wouldn't something like that be STANDARD on a Lariat trim?
