Because SYNC®4 offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity you can leave the cords at home and connect your smartphone to the SYNC®4 touch screen without wires. There is also now a wireless charging pad for smartphones2. However, alongside the wireless charging pad are USB outlets so that you can connect your smartphone to SYNC®4, and keep it charged, using a wired connection if you like.
