It was much to our disappointment that the Australia version of the new Ford Focus didn't come packed with the company's latest MyFord Touch entertainment and navigation system. This wasn't the first time for things like this to happen and certainly it won't be the last. Think about the Hyundai Veloster launched in Feb this year, you will probably see our nation as an odd place for car manufacturers to place their navigation system. Or at least not immediately.

This time, the updated MyFord Touch system refined graphics on more than 1000 screens in the system, with responsiveness improved by two times or more and a few added goodies, such as iPad compatibility and Audible.com integration.

Ford also announced other improvements to the system, such as updated maps and larger collection of 3D landmarks. The Gracenote database has been updated with the latest music data and album cover art, and Ford has improved the system's ability to reconnect with a previously paired Bluetooth phone.
