The Magic of SYNC Connect
In this age of connectivity, the SYNC Connect system is a versatile piece of software, and it allows you to control a number of systems on your Ford. SYNC allows you to control the following systems:
- Remotely start your Ford & climate control system: ever jump into your vehicle and find it scorching hot or bitterly cold? Well no more! SYNC Connect allows you to remotely start your vehicle and set the climate control so it’s the perfect temperature when you get in.
- Set a remote start calendar: if you leave for work at the same time every day, you can use SYNC Connect to set your vehicle to automatically start at a specific time! That way your Ford is always ready when you are.
- Lock and unlock the doors: you no longer have to fumble with keys, instead use your phone to lock and unlock your Ford’s doors from almost anywhere.
- Locate your vehicle:- can’t remember where you parked? Don’t worry, this isn’t a Seinfeld episode. Your Ford has an on-board GPS tracker that saves its location every time the vehicle is turned off. That way, you’ll always know exactly where it is!
- Check vehicle status: wondering how much fuel you have left? Can’t remember your odometer reading? Curious how long until your next service is needed? The SYNC Connect system can tell you in an instant.
- Wi-Fi Hotspot – now you can truly remain connected wherever you go thanks to a 4G LTE network built directly into your Ford! Up to 10 devices can connect from up to 50 feet away, so all your friends can tap into the internet as well.
