Douglas VanDangens joins Todd and Esby in the TPN Live CES coverage. He is talking about AppLink on Mustangs. It takes the UI from your smartphone and integrates with the car.

AppLink will be free for download for Fiesta and Mustang users. You can use it with Apple, Android and Blackberry devices. Voice control will be a big part to their Nav system.

Then there are the partnering companies. Stitcher, Pandora, OpenBreak are some of those companies.

During the interview, they talk about lane drifting and speeding cameras warnings.
