Ford is expanding its Sync connectivity system, adding Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 4G LTE and several new AppLink apps.
Ford has more than 15 million Sync-equipped vehicles on roads around the world today and 43 million expected by 2020. Connectivity is one part of Ford Smart Mobility, the plan to take the company to the next level in connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer experience, and data and analytics.
On Sync 3-equipped vehicles, iPhone users can activate Apple CarPlay, and Android users can activate Android Auto, two interfaces built specifically for those types of smartphones. In addition, new SYNC Connect technology powered by 4G LTE gives owners the ability to remotely access features of their car.
"Sync allows customers to bring the smartphone technology they're comfortable with into a vehicle and use it without hassle," said Don Butler, Ford Executive Director, Connected Vehicle and Services. "With SYNC, we move at our customers' pace - making it easy for them to maintain a connected lifestyle no matter their choice of smartphone, apps or services inside and outside their vehicle."
