Can I Upgrade My Ford SYNC® to SYNC® 3?

2022 Ford Maverick Interior


Many San Antonio drivers find themselves in reliable, older Ford models with the original Ford SYNC® system. The original Ford SYNC® system is great, but with the new Ford Ford SYNC® 3 system now out on new Ford vehicles, is there a way to upgrade your original SYNC® system? Unfortunately, the Ford SYNC® and Ford SYNC® 3 systems run on different hardware, so it is not possible to upgrade your original system to the Ford SYNC® 3. 

Still, that doesn’t mean the Ford SYNC® doesn’t have a wonderful variety of connectivity features! Get an overview of the original Ford SYNC® features you can take advantage of to enhance your New Braunfels drives. Our service team can help you “Sync my ride” and make every drive more fun with the Ford SYNC® system!

Ford SYNC® Standout Features

  • Hands-Free Commands: Take control of your entertainment with the Ford SYNC® voice command system. This system allows you to make and answer phone calls and texts or request a specific type of music or podcast without ever taking your hands off the wheel.
  • Ford AppLink®: Stay connected with your favorite mobile apps with Ford AppLink®! Your favorite apps can be used during the trip with voice commands and the controls on your steering wheel. 
  • SYNC® Entertainment: Create genre-specific playlists or play your favorite audiobooks when you connect your Apple or Android device to the SYNC® entertainment system via Bluetooth®. 
  • SYNC® Media Hub: Charge your devices while you drive around Bulverde or play files from a separate device when you use the USB ports in the SYNC® media hub! You can also install any SYNC® software updates with a flash drive. 

Ford SYNC® Safety Features

Ford SYNC® isn’t just for entertainment — it also looks out for your safety. With the 911 Assist feature, you can call for help after an accident via Bluetooth®. Even if you can’t access the controls, the SYNC® system can still make the call to first responders and provide them with the details of the accident.
