With technology becoming more and more integrated with vehicles, Ford has pioneered the standard or in-vehicle communications and entertaining. Ford’s SYNC system comes factory-installed on many of the 2007+ Ford vehicles hitting showroom floors across the globe. It allows you to control your music, make telephone calls hands-free, and many other great features that are sure to help you have a safer, more enjoyable trip.
Cell Phone Integration
A customer favorite feature of Ford’s SYNC system is the mobile integration capabilities. Easily link up your smartphone via Bluetooth to the SYNC system for hands free calls, audible SMS messages, “Push To Talk” steering wheel capabilities, and wide variety of other features that keeps on growing each year. This is one of the best features we have seen to help keep drivers focused on the road ahead, instead of trying to hold their phone.
Entertainment
Like many modern vehicle sound systems, SYNC allows for you to easily browse your favorite AM/FM stations and can even accept Sirius Radio as well. The mobile integration we discussed earlier allows for you to easily play your favorite music straight from your phone to your vehicle, no cords attached. Of course, you can always hook up a music device via the included auxiliary port.
911 Assistance
Keeping safety at the top of their list, Ford has implemented a 911 assist feature within their SYNC system to keep you and your occupants safe. In the event of a serious accident where an airbag has deployed in the vehicle, the 911 assist will place a direct call to the nearest 911 operator. We know not all accidents require a 911 call, so Ford has added a 10 second window for the driver or passenger to cancel the call before it is placed. In the event you will need to use the service, you can communicate with the operator through the car’s SYNC system.
Navigation
Gone are the days where we break out the state map or print off directions from the internet. Smartphones have made this much easier with on the go, turn by turn audible directions. However, if you are riding alone, this can be very dangerous trying to look at your phone and drive at the same time. Ford has recognized this problem and provided audible turn by turn navigation, traffic reports, and weather reports into their SYNC system. A perfect feature for those who travel daily or like to take the occasional trip out of town.
Vehicle Health Reports
Ford’s SYNC system also provides an easy to monitor report of your vehicle’s vital maintenance schedule. Keeping up with your oil changes, tire pressures, and other fluid levels can be quite the hassle. Ford has helped to easily keep these in constant view with the SYNC vehicle health reports. These reports allow you to easily check how much oil life you have, when you have a low tire pressure, when you need to check your engine, and any other problems that you may have with your vehicle.
