3 Ways to Get the Most out of Your Ford SYNC Connect Features
After buying a new Ford vehicle that has SYNC connect installed, you may have already downloaded the FordPass app on your smartphone and synced it to your car. You may have already discovered that you can work the locks, start the car, and turn on the comfort controls while you are still in your house.
However, even if you have played around with the app, you may still not be fully aware of all of the things that you can do with it. Below are four ways you can start getting the most out of your new car's Ford SYNC Connect features.

1. Keep an Eye on Your Car's Health Status
Have you ever noticed one of the dashboard warning lights coming on but still do not know what it means? Or, even if you do know what it means, are you quite sure what you should do about it? If so, you do not have to play the guessing game any longer, thanks to the Ford SYNC Connect.
Whether your car is overheating or is ready for an oil change, the app will alert you using Vehicle Health Alerts. However, it goes a step further by giving you the information you need to rectify the situation. It also provides you with the means to make a service appointment with Camelback Ford when the recommended action is to take your car to the dealer.
2. Stay Connected by Turning Your Car into a Wi-fi Hotspot
Have you ever been stuck in the car waiting for an appointment or on your children while waiting for them to get out of school? Or, have you been on a long road trip and wish there was some way to entertain your children? While you have your smartphone with you, you may wish you could fire up your laptop or be able to stream movies for your kids.
As part of its features, the Ford SYNC Connect lets you turn your car into a powerful Wi-Fi hotspot. With the ability to connect up to 10 computers or mobile devices, you and your family can stay busy while sitting in the car waiting or when driving across the state or country.
3. Know Where Your Car Is Located at All Times
Are you in the habit of forgetting where you parked your car in a large parking lot? Or, do you have teenagers that borrow the car, and you wish you could keep tabs on them? Now you can with the Ford SYNC Connect.
One of the features of the app is the Vehicle Locator. The onboard GPS system will lead you to your car if you cannot find it in the parking lot. Or, it can let you know where your teenager really goes when they ask to borrow your car.
The above suggestions are only a few ways to take full advantage of your Ford SYNC Connect features. If you wish to learn more or need guidance on how to use the system, we at Camelback Ford would be more than happy to assist you.
