Why Do I Need a SYNC Owner Account?

activation and the ability to view your reports online. You’ll
also be able to take advantage of all of SYNC’s Services and
personalization features, such as saving your Favorites and
Points of Interest. You’ll receive the latest software updates
that add new places, directions and information; and if you
have questions, you’ll get free customer support.

Before You Get Started

at SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or

After registering, you can see what
available services you are eligible for.

with your phone. Turn Bluetooth
mode on in your phone’s menu
options. This lets your phone find

setting up your phone with SYNC,
visit SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or
