Smart Phones love the #FiestaST
A few days a go the good folks at Ford South Africa let me ‘drive it like you stole it’ test drive the new Fiesta ST. As this isn’t a platform where cars are usually discussed I’m not going to go through the nitty gritty technical details pertaining to the specs of the car.
While browsing myscoop I found the Cars.co.za Mobile app available, like BBM will soon be, on iOS and Android. Once you’ve setup you’re blog on myscoop you are prompted to review various services and products. One of which was the Cars.co.za app. I found the app on the Play Store. I now had a car showroom in the palm of my hands seconds later.
Once of my favourite parts of the Fiesta ST must be Ford’s Sync technology and the Sony sound system. I turned on bluetooth on my HTC One, connected it with the Fiesta ST and within seconds I was answering my phone without having to lift my hands off the steering wheel and my music was making windows vibrate as I drove down Adderley Street…
I just need to clear my mind now
It’s been racin’ since the summertime
Now I’m holdin’ down the summer now
And all I want is what I can’t buy now
Cause I ain’t got the money on me right now
And I told you to wait
Yeah I told you to wait
So I’mma need a little more time now
Cause I ain’t got the money on me right now
And I thought you could wait
Yeah, I thought you could wait
“So what does the Fiesta ST cost?” I wondered so I popped open the Cars.co.za Android app and found the little powerful beast…
I kept poking around the Cars.co.za Android app and discovered a few other tools like a finance calculator and insurance. What about education? I’ll be reaching out to the owners of Cars.co.za pretty soon to share an idea or 2 with them.
If you own a smart phone and would love a hands free mobile experience in a pretty awesome little car without crashing connect yours with the Ford’s Sync technology, pretty soon there’ll be a boat load of apps for your android which you’ll be able to control from your car too.
