How Do I Pair My Phone With SYNC 3?

 

 

Before you can use your phone in your Ford, you have to create a Bluetooth^® connection. So if you need to, check your mobile‘s user manual for Bluetooth^® functions then:

• Switch on your phone’s Bluetooth^® function.
• On your Sync 'Phone' screen, select 'Add a phone'
• On your phone, in the Bluetooth menu, select 'SYNC'.
• A personal PIN will now appear on the radio display. Enter or agree with this PIN in your mobile phone.
• If no PIN appears on the radio display, enter ‘0000’ in your mobile phone then the PIN that appears on the radio display.
• If your phone asks if you would like this connection to be automatic in future, confirm with “Yes.”
• Now your phone is active and you can use the handsfree functions.

How to Pair the Phone

Before you start:
• Make sure that your phone is compatible with SYNC^TM 3.
• Your vehicle must be running and in Park, not in Accessory mode.



Switch on your vehicle and your mobile phone.



Enable your phone's Bluetooth^® feature and make sure your phone is discoverable.
 

On SYNC^TM 3 touchscreen, press "Add Device"
If you've already paired a phone, SYNC^TM 3 displays the name of that device. If your screen asks you to connect a phone make sure Bluetooth^®  is on for your paired device. If not follow the next step.




Scan for devices on your mobile phone, until SYNC^TM 3 is found.



Select SYNC^TM 3 on your mobile phone, which will display a six digit PIN.
If your device prompts you to enter a PIN, it does not support secure simple pairing. To pair, enter PIN displayed on the touchscreen. Skip next step.



When prompted on your phone's display, confirm that PIN displayed by SYNC^TM 3 matches the PIN displayed on your phone.



The SYNC^TM 3 display will then indicate that pairing is successful.

Tips: If you authorize the Bluetooth^® connection to Ford Audio, your phone will automatically connect when the vehicle is started (see the user manual for your phone).

• If the Bluetooth^® connection is unstable, it may help to restart your mobile occasionally.
• You can register up to six mobile phones in the system, but only one can be the active phone you use to make or take calls.
• You have several options for making a phone call using your Ford audio system, which are described in the next section.
