Pairing SYNC AppLink with Your Smartphone’s Navigation App
The new Ford SYNC AppLink feature will allow you to project your navigation app directly from your smartphone onto your Ford in-vehicle touchscreen. This means you’ll be able to review your navigation app in a safer and simpler manner than ever before because it keeps the convenience of your smartphone at your fingertips without having to actually pick it up and look at it.
“Ford understands how customers are using their smartphones, so it’s important we offer them more choice in how they connect and control their capabilities in the car. Our new SYNC AppLink mobile navigation capability will help keep drivers’ eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel while using the apps that they love.” – Don Butler, executive director, Ford Connected Vehicle and Services.
