While a complete teardown analysis has yet to be made available, iSuppli said Friday that the six major semiconductors within the Microsoft-developed system only cost the automaker about $27.80 per vehicle.
That price comes in far below any of Ford's competitors, whose estimated expenditures per vehicle are as high as $800 for similar systems. As an option, Sync is priced at $395 and available on most Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models.
