MyKey. Introduced by Ford, MyKey employs a computer chip in the vehicle's ignition key to limit teen drivers to a top speed of 80 mph. Parents can also program the teen's key to limit audio system levels and sound a continuous alert if the driver doesn't wear a seatbelt. Another
MyKey option is the ability to sound a chime if the teen driver exceeds 45, 55 or 65 mph. While this technology does not replace the need for parental involvement with teen drivers, MyKey can be a helpful tool when used in conjunction with AAA's driver training and parent-teen driving agreement.
MyKey will be introduced as a standard feature in the 2010 Ford Focus, Escape hybrid, and selected other vehicles before spreading to the entire Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lineup as models are updated.
You have to trust your kids to do what is right. Do I care if my kids blasts their music? No, I did as a kid.
My son was almost carjacked coming home one night, he ended up in a high speed chase while three cars tried to box in his sports car. If he had this thing who knows what would have happened. Then again if he had a Ford Focus they wouldn't have wanted the car. Two things to think about.
1.) Could the ignition get stuck due to a computer freeze, like the Prius
2.) How long before there is a hack your kid can down load from the Internet to unlock the stereo and governor
What fuck shots the Ford people are. If they put this in the Mustang line the are the biggest fuckin morons in the history of the automobile.
