In the past some collaborators of the Ford Motor Company have been Gracenote, Microsoft and Sony to name but a few. All of which have helped develop certain features to improve the modern Ford driving experience with features such as voice recognition software, in car entertainment and much more.

Another company that have in the past worked in alignment with Ford is Microsoft, with developers working towards a software platform to power the SYNC system and allow it to be both upgradable and co-operative with external developers.
