Before You Get Started
• Pair your phone to SYNC before using SYNC 3.
See Getting Started with Your SYNC System in this
guide for instructions.

desired icon accurately.
• If you press the wrong icon and enter the wrong screen,
you can always press the home
icon to access your
home screen.
SYNC AppLink™:
Voice Access to Your Mobile Apps
The available SYNC AppLink* allows you voice access to select
mobile applications that you already have or can download to
your Android™, BlackBerry
® or iPhone®.
Current apps include Pandora
® Internet Radio, Stitcher Smart
Radio™, OpenBeak (BlackBerry-exclusive), iHeartRadio,
Slacker, NPR News and SYNC Destinations with even more
releases on the way. Visit www.owner.ford.com (U.S.) for
more details.
Note: AppLink is not currently available in Canada.
Using SYNC AppLink
1. Make sure that you have an active account online for the
app you want and make sure you set it up the way you
like it. Some apps work automatically with no set-up.
2. Download or update to the latest mobile app through
your smartphone’s marketplace.
3. Switch the ignition on.
4. Pair the phone to your vehicle. If you already paired your
phone to the vehicle, it connects to SYNC automatically
when you enter.
5. If you are an iPhone owner, you must also connect the
Apple
®-provided USB cable and start the application you
want to use on your phone through SYNC. Android and
BlackBerry connect wirelessly using SYNC AppLink.
6. Now you’re ready to voice-access the app by pressing the
voice button and saying Mobile Apps, and then the name
of the app you want.
Use the touchscreen to explore
and interact with your vehicle. The
touchscreen works the same way as
traditional controls, knobs and buttons
do. Press the various icons on your
touchscreen to personalize the many
features and settings of your vehicle all
in one place. The system provides easy
interaction with your cellular phone,
audio, apps and navigation system*.
