Ford has always been a model brand that, pardon the pun, is always in tune to the needs of today\u2019s drivers, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s no surprise that the new SYNC 4 infotainment system it\u2019s unveiled is one of the most advanced in the Canadian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Today, our Sherwood Ford sales team wants to show you the best features and functions of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/media.ford.com\/content\/fordmedia\/fna\/us\/en\/news\/2019\/10\/30\/ford-sync-4-brings-new-levels-of-connectivity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ford SYNC 4 infotainment system<\/a> &#8211; there\u2019s even more to love when it comes to staying connected (and entertained) on the drive!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wrc-column-grid wrc-column-grid-2\"><div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-start\" ><\/p>\n<h3>New Interface Design<\/h3>\n<p>You can see it in the phones and tablets in production today &#8211; screens are getting larger and more capacitive than ever. SYNC 4 mirrors this, as inside new Ford models, you\u2019ll be treated to available 12-inch touchscreens (15.5 inch screens are also optional) that offer pinch-to-zoom functionality and split-screen multitasking. This means that you can navigate and change a radio station, for example, without having to close out of one app and open the other.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" ><\/p>\n<h3>Cloud Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>All new Ford vehicles will come with an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, which is an incredible tech achievement in its own right, but it also means that SYNC 4 will rely heavily on cloud computing and storage for navigation. Having everything stored in the cloud for easy access, your turn-by-turn directions can be updated with the latest available information at all times. Also, with machine learning built in, SYNC 4 can recognize your preferences and favourite spots around town!<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><!-- .wrc-column-grid -->\n\n\n<div class=\"wrc-column-grid wrc-column-grid-2\"><div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-start\" ><\/p>\n<h3>Fully-wireless Phone Connection<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re probably one of the vast majority of Canadians who pairs their phone to their infotainment system the second you jump in the car, and this is made even easier by Ford\u2019s SYNC 4 technology. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless with the new system, and wireless charging is also optional. Plus, with AppLink Convenience Controls, you can control the radio, interior lighting or climate right from your phone!<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" ><\/p>\n<h3>Digital Owner\u2019s Manual &amp; SiriusXM<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re tired of having to leaf through your owner\u2019s manual just to see which kind of wiper blades you need, SYNC 4 has you covered. It\u2019ll offer a full digital owner\u2019s manual that you\u2019re free to check out at any time, complete with how-to videos and more in-depth info on vehicle features. Also, SiriusXM with 360L will be available, which can stream shows, live performances, and even interviews through your speakers on demand!<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><!-- .wrc-column-grid -->\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28171549\/2020-Ford-Expedition-Limited-interior-B-5_o.jpg\" alt=\"a person using the touchscreen in a Ford Expedition\" class=\"wp-image-10452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28171549\/2020-Ford-Expedition-Limited-interior-B-5_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28171549\/2020-Ford-Expedition-Limited-interior-B-5_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28171615\/2020-Ford-Mustang_B3_o.jpg\" alt=\"the touchscreen in a Ford Mustang\" class=\"wp-image-10453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28171615\/2020-Ford-Mustang_B3_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28171615\/2020-Ford-Mustang_B3_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>More Tech Info: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/features-and-functions-of-mindful-mode-in-the-2020-ford-explorer\/\">2020 Ford Explorer offers features to &#8220;Digitally Detox&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Get more information on the SYNC 4 infotainment system with Sherwood Ford serving Edmonton AB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first batch of SYNC 4-equipped models will be releasing in 2020, so if you have any further questions about the system\u2019s best features, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/contact-sherwood-ford-in-sherwood-park-ab\">contact our Sherwood Ford sales team<\/a>.
