How to identify your SYNC® version
Four versions of SYNC are available, including SYNC with MyFord Touch, depending on your vehicle’s model and year. Learn which version of SYNC you have.
Learn moreSYNC 3 gives you voice-control over your vehicle’s integrated entertainment and information system. This allows you to stay connected, while driving with your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.27
With SYNC 3, voice-activated commands require just a few steps to control a broad range of system features while you’re on the road. Here are a few examples:
Make hands-free calls with your phone safely put away. For example, just say the name of the person you wish to contact: “Call John on cell.”
Say, “Play <song, artist, album or genre>,” and the system plays your desired selection; you no longer need to state the category.
Use a simple one-phrase command to dial a phone number directly. Simply say, “Dial 313-555-1212,” and SYNC® puts your call right through.
Say the media source you want, and the audio automatically plays without additional commands. Say, “USB,” “Sirius,” “Bluetooth Audio,” etc.48
When providing the name of the POI you’d like to find, just say, “Find a POI/Place,” then give the name. You can say, “<City> Airport,” instead of “<City> Metropolitan Airport.” The Navigation screen will quickly route you. To change the search area, just say, “Change Search Area”.
To start talking to SYNC, use the popular voice commands listed below. For more details, read the SYNC 3 Overview.
Please Note: When CarPlay or Android Auto are active, SYNC 3 Voice Recognition is disabled and voice commands will not work.
