Most of the new Ford cars and trucks have the SYNC system built-in that allows the use of a phone without having to hold the device. The SYNC system makes the car into a big hands free device.

Ford has announced that owners of SYNC equipped vehicles can now get a free app called SYNCMyPhone that will allow them to sync their contacts book with the car. The app installs on a computer and lets the user move up to 1200 contacts to a flash drive.

The contacts are then uploaded to the car via the USB port built-in. The good news is that the app allows you to be selective in the contacts you bring over. If you only want five of your 500 contacts in the car, you can move only the ones you want. The app is in beta now and can be downloaded at the SYNC website.
