SYNC® System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SYNC® system consists of the following:
- APIM
- SYNC®-specific steering wheel controls
- Microphone
- USB cable and port
- Audio input jack
SYNC® is a hands-free communications and entertainment system that allows the following interactions:
- Send and receive phone calls via a Bluetooth-enabled phone
- Send and receive text messages via a Bluetooth-enabled phone
- Connect media devices (such as an iPod® or USB flash device) in order to play audio files
- Play media files via a Bluetooth-enabled audio device
- Produce vehicle health reports
- Initiate an emergency call (eCall) when the air bags deploy
- Provide turn-by-turn traffic directions through the use of the signal received by the GPSM
The GPSM works with the SYNC® system to provide vehicle location on vehicles not equipped with navigation, as the vehicle location must be known for the traffic, directions, and information features to operate correctly.
While SYNC® supports many features, not all features are available with every phone. For example, text messaging is supported by SYNC® but not available with most phones.
For additional information on audio system operation, including the SYNC® system, refer to the Owner's Literature.
