What is a Connected Vehicle?

Welcome to the world of Ford connectivity, through devices like mobile phones, tablets, and computers, we connect with the world around using wireless communication technology. Your Ford connected vehicle lets you do the same. 
 
FordPass is an App that you can download onto your mobile device.
 
FordPass Connect is a cellular modem containing a SIM card which enables your Ford to connect to the internet, much like a mobile device with a SIM card. The cellular modem is embedded in the vehicle and just like other parts of a vehicle, is fitted at the factory.
