SYNC Connect (if equipped)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The SYNC Connect system uses the TCU to communicate via the cellular network with a device running the SYNC Connect application. The TCU communicates with other vehicle modules over the CAN to obtain information or to carry out application commands, depending on the request.

The primary means of communication between the TCU and the cellular network uses a cellular antenna integrated into the GPS/Satellite antenna. A separate coaxial cable connects the cellular portion of the antenna to the TCU. The secondary means of communication between the TCU and the cellular network is the TCU antenna. The TCU antenna connects to the TCU via a coaxial cable.

SYNC Connect data is transmitted via the cellular network to a server or customer device with the SYNC Connect application installed. The data received via the cellular network from the device application is processed by the TCU, which can make vehicle system commands via the CAN.
