    I thought this part was interesting, showing how upgradeable it will be:

    "Siri Eyes Free, the speech recognition software from Apple, will be available early on. You launch it by pressing and holding Ford’s voice button on the steering wheel. Eyes Free is a placeholder. Later, most likely in 2015, will come the fuller Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that replicate key apps from your phone. Note the replicated apps are only the apps the automaker and Apple or Google want you to have, and the phone is otherwise locked out."
