Tool Link™
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Tool Link™ system consists of the following:
- In-dash computer
- Tool Link™ reader (located under the rear seats (SuperCab), behind the front seats (Regular Cab), or behind the rear seats (Crew Cab))
- Two Tool Link™ antennas with associated cables (one on each side of the cargo area)
- Tool ID tags (one tag located on each tool at the discretion of the customer)
The Tool Link™ reader uses the Tool Link™ antennas to broadcast a locator signal throughout the vehicle cargo area. The tool ID tags are read by the antennas to identify which tools are currently in the vehicle cargo area. This information is sent to the in-dash computer, where the user can inventory the available tools.
