Modern technology cannot be imagined without Bluetooth connectivity. It is no secret that your home is flooded with Bluetooth devices. The application of this cutting-edge technology in your prized Ford cars is something we take for granted.
With Bluetooth technology and in-car infotainment, Ford was one of the first manufacturers to adopt these technologies. The Sync system was developed by Ford and Microsoft as a Bluetooth and in-car communication device. The SYNC system is easy to use, and provides hands-free calling, music access, and more.
A song could be played on demand with just your voice, or a text message could be read aloud once you know how to connect Bluetooth devices to a Ford vehicle in just a few steps given below.
Ford Sync Connection
- Your phone and the radio should be on, and the vehicle should be running.
- Press the infotainment display phone button with your phone on Bluetooth to access the phone menu.
- Under the Bluetooth connection settings, when "Add Bluetooth Device" appears, press "OK" and then choose "SYNC" on your phone.
- Upon connecting your phone, SYNC technology will start talking, and you will get a notification that your phone has been connected.
This method may not work in every case. It may be necessary for you to try a reverse pairing method if that is the case.

- Repeat the same process until you click on "Add Bluetooth Device.”

You can clear your device's cache by unpairing, deleting, and re-pairing it if you're experiencing slow performance.
