What is the difference between FordPass & FordPass Connect?

FordPass is an app that allows Ford owners to interact with the vehicle through a suite of in-app features. The FordPass app can be downloaded from either the App Store or Google Play.

Whereas FordPass Connect is an embedded modem that connects your Ford vehicle to the internet, which allows for data to be transferred to and from your car. The modem automatically updates and accesses a whole host of advanced features like Live Traffic Information. It also allows you to control selected vehicle features remotely from your FordPass app.

To use FordPass Connect, you will need to download the FordPass app on your smartphone.

Up-to-date live traffic information

Keep your journeys running smoothly with real-time traffic updates via Live Traffic†† on the SYNC3 Navigation system every 30 seconds. Live Traffic provides traffic information for all roads, and not just major roads. It is the most accurate and up-to-date navigation system ever. The technology adjusts your recommended route based on the traffic conditions ahead, ensuring that you arrive on time and relaxed. Live Traffic is complementary with FordPass Connect for the first two years.

††Live Traffic access is complimentary for the first 2 years following the purchase of a new Ford featuring SYNC 3 with navigation; thereafter a licence fee is payable.

Effortless connectivity at your fingertips

Don’t use your smartphone’s valuable data. Effortlessly connect up to ten devices using the in-car Wi-Fi hotspot with speeds of up to 4G LTE‡‡. Make those long journeys feel much shorter for your passengers and load your favourite streaming services. FordPass Connect comes with three months or 3GB of complementary data. You can buy additional data bundles for a day, a month or even a year from Vodafone upon renewal.

Peace of mind is priceless

Designed to reduce the time between a serious accident occuring and assistance from the emergency services from being provided, eCall** is a potentially life-saving feature that gives you peace of mind. FordPass Connect can automotically place an eCall to the emergency services in the event of an accident and provide your location. You can also press an SOS button in your car to contact the emergency services directly, should you require emergency assistance or witness an accident.

Make sure your car is ready for the road ahead

Check your car’s fuel level, tyre pressure and mileage before you get behind the wheel using Vehicle Status. Simply check the FordPass app and you can drive away in the knowledge that you car is ready for the road.

Vehicle Health Alerts

Recieve Vehicle Health Alerts directly to your smartphone including, when to change your oil, when a lightbulb has failed and whether your engine is overheating. The alert will inform you of the exact issue and will even recommend a course of action. Alternatively, you can contact Roadside Assistance or schedule an appointment with your nearest Think Ford dealership, all from within the app.
