What Is the Ford Digital Experience?
Driving a Ford is about more than just getting from point A to point B. Today’s vehicles offer advanced technology that keeps drivers connected, informed, and entertained. At Akins Ford, we know how important these features are, which is why we’re excited about the Ford Digital Experience. This cutting-edge suite of technology enhances every drive with smart connectivity, personalized settings, and entertainment options.

How Does It Compare to SYNC 4?
Many Ford drivers are familiar with the SYNC 4 infotainment system, but the Ford Digital Experience takes things a step further. While both systems offer Alexa Built-in and smartphone connectivity, this new platform introduces:

- 5G-powered connectivity for faster data speeds and more responsive interactions
Best of all, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto remain available, allowing drivers to choose their preferred smartphone integration.
