How do I reset my Connected Vehicle?

Your Connected Vehicle can be reset in two ways:

  • A Factory Reset of your SYNC* system restores factory settings and removes:
    • Users with modem access.
    • SYNC settings.
    • Your call history and text messages.
    • Paired devices.
    • Navigation favorites.
  • A modem reset only removes vehicle activations. 

Note: Every customer should perform a Factory Reset prior to selling a vehicle, similar to resetting a mobile device when upgrading.
