SYNC™
Why stop using your devices when you drive? SYNC™ is a fully integrated, voice activation system, created in partnership with Microsoft, which lets you use your favorite devices while your hands stay safely on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
· Make and receive calls and a range of other phone features, depending on your phone model, totally hands-free.
· Continue a call when getting into or out of your car. The call is automatically transferred between your handset and SYNC™ when you start the engine or turn it off. So there’s no need to hang-up and re-dial.
· Ask SYNC™ to play specific tracks, artists, genres, albums and more, hands-free, when you plug your MP3 player into the USB outlet, if your music is categorized.
· Stream music wirelessly from your Bluetooth® phone or music player.
The software
· Specially-created Microsoft Auto software works with just about any current MP3 player or Bluetooth® mobile phone.
· Your mobile phone connects (pairs) via Bluetooth® technology. SYNC™ automatically connects to your paired phone when you turn the engine on - you don’t even need to take it out of your bag or pocket.
· You can pair more than one phone and make one your favorite so SYNC™ automatically connects to it if there’s more than one paired phone in the car.
· SYNC™ can automatically download your phone contacts each time you drive, so you can call people just by saying their name. The system doesn’t store your contacts so your private information is secure.
· Upgrades and new features and capabilities are easily downloaded via the SYNC™ Owners website.
The hardware
· A 4.2-inch screen in the center console lets you see your settings and current SYNC™ status and mode.
· Press-button controls on the steering wheel allow you to answer and end phone calls and talk to SYNC™, without your hands leaving the steering wheel.
· The SYNC™ media hub has both a USB and auxiliary outlet.
