How to pair your phone with SYNC® 3 | Ford Australia

Switch on your vehicle, and go to the Bluetooth^{®The Bluetooth®} settings on your mobile phone

Enable your phone’s Bluetooth^® feature, and make your phone discoverable.

On your vehicle’s SYNC^® 3 touchscreen, press “Add Device.”

(If you’ve already paired a phone, SYNC^® 3 displays the name of that device. If your screen asks you to connect a phone, make sure Bluetooth^® is turned on for your paired device. If not, follow the next steps.)  

Scan for devices on your mobile phone, until <your vehicle> (eg. Ford Focus) is found. 

Note: if your phone cannot find SYNC^® 3, then select 'Discover Other Bluetooth Devices' on the touchscreen to have SYNC^® 3 search for your phone.

Select SYNC^® on your mobile phone, which will then display a six-digit PIN.

Note: If your device prompts you to enter a PIN, it does not support Secure Simple Pairing. To pair, enter the PIN displayed on the touchscreen. Skip the next step.

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

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