The SYNC® with MyFord Touch® offers a variety of multimedia options for using the vehicle's audio system, including AM and FM radio, CD player, SiriusXM®, and HD Radio™. Users can control music and radio settings using voice commands while driving, touch controls on the 8-inch touchscreen, or controls on the steering wheel. Bluetooth-enabled smartphones can be used to stream music wirelessly, but only when the vehicle is not in motion. Connecting a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone is necessary to use phone features for SYNC® with MyFord Touch. Various devices can be plugged into the media hub, including USB flash drives, USB media players, and SD cards.
Connecting your mobile phone to the Ford SYNC system allows for seamless music streaming via Bluetooth. To initiate this, press the voice button on your steering wheel and say, “Bluetooth® Audio.” The system will confirm the switch and prompt you to give a command. For example, you can say, "Play artist" to select a specific track. This feature is excellent for hands-free operation, ensuring your focus remains on driving safely.
For a high-quality listening experience, HD Radio stations provide digital sound quality and the ability to tag songs for later purchase in iTunes®. SiriusXM® offers a wide array of commercial-free channels, and users can set alerts for favorite songs or artists. With Gracenote®, SYNC® can understand voice commands for media players, including difficult-to-pronounce artist names, enhancing the overall user experience.
Apart from Bluetooth, the SYNC® system supports various other music-playing methods. You can play music through a USB connection by plugging in a USB cord and using voice commands like "play artist" to listen to specific songs. Additionally, the USB port can charge your phone while you drive. An auxiliary cable is also available for a basic connection, but it lacks the hands-free convenience of voice commands.
If you encounter any issues connecting your mobile phone or using the SYNC® system, there are several support options available. You can call Sync Support at 1-888-270-1055 for the US and 1-800-565-3673 for Canada. Proactive troubleshooting steps, such as seeking help from a dealer or trying different solutions like disconnecting the battery or using alternative music playback methods, can be highly effective in resolving any problems.
When learning how to connect phone to Ford SYNC to play music, remember that voice commands are your best friend. Simple commands like “Play previous track” or “Pause” / “Play” can make your driving experience more enjoyable and safe. The SYNC® system also automatically streams music from iPhones, iPods, and Android phones, providing excellent sound quality and eliminating the need for physical connections.
