Ford Expedition - SYNC 4

Ford Expedition - SYNC 4


SYNC®4A is Ford’s infotainment system that acts as a command centre for your vehicle, with many features previously controlled by hard buttons now available digitally. This has helped to declutter the digital instrument panel.

Being the command centre means that SYNC®4A allows you to delve into everything from navigation to climate controls, zone lighting, towing settings, and vehicle features. And it is clever enough to remember your last five actions allowing you to shortcut to those features you use regularly.

Thanks to the wireless versions of Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM smartphone technology, connecting your compatible iPhone® or AndroidTM device is quick, easy, and cable-free. This feature lets you stow your phone out of sight, making it easier to stay focused on the road.

Pairing your smartphone to SYNC®4A is easy.
