What is a Connected Vehicle?

Welcome to the world of Ford connectivity, through devices like mobile phones, tablets, and computers, we connect with the world around using wireless communication technology. Your Ford connected vehicle lets you do the same. 
 
FordPass is an app that you can download onto your mobile device.
 
Your vehicle has a cellular modem containing a SIM card, which enables your Ford to connect to the internet, much like a mobile device with a SIM card. The cellular modem is embedded in the vehicle and just like other parts of a vehicle, is fitted at the factory.

FordPass app when used with the vehicle's modem brings an array of convenient remote vehicle functionality and connected services to make life simpler for Ford owners.

Once activated, the combination of these two technologies will unlock a new range of services to you.

How do I know if my vehicle is connected?

In vehicles fitted with a modem you will see icons displayed on the in-vehicle SYNC screen which indicate that connected vehicle data, which may include location, is being transmitted by the vehicle. These appear as:

 shows that the modem is activated and that connected vehicle data excluding location is being transmitted

 shows that the vehicle’s location is being transmitted

 shows the modem is activated, and that both connected vehicle data and the vehicle’s location are being transmitted.
