Five-Point Inspection: Ford MyKey

No Naughty Satellite Radio Either?

 Ford to Introduce Technology for Parents to Screen Radio Content

Some kids have iPhones almost a decade before their driver’s licenses — if they get those at all. A little Bluetooth magic is all it takes to pipe in enough cussing to make a grade-schooler cackle, but that doesn’t stop MyKey from trying to intervene.

You’ll still be able to stream smutty songs, but satellite radio ranging from raging rap music to Howard Stern and even a gay-themed channel are off limits.

Heavy metal was also blocked, although Octane — a station no stranger to obscenity — was open for listening. That’s because the filtered radio setting blanket blocks stations Sirius Radio labels “explicit.”
