hi everybody this is Patrick prophet at Jack Kane Ford and as we roll into 2020 and the 2020 vehicles start making it here onto the lot what I wanted to do was show you how the Sync system has changed and what you'd expect by getting a vehicle with sync version hoods it's still sync three but the version is three point four as I'll show you here soon and it's it looks different it's a little cleaner and you know some of the functionality has changed a little bit one thing I do want you to notice if you have a vehicle you know this is a 2019 or 2020 Explorer limited the platinum version actually has a much larger screen a 10 and a half inch screen that you know and core incorporates kind of two levels to it but most of the 2020 vehicles will have this version of sync and so the functionality will be the same one big thing to notice first off is even with the higher level vehicle as Ana limited Explorer what they've taken off is on the big screen here is the climate control you know if you look along the bottom there audio phone navigation app settings those are all now at the bottom as opposed to having climate in there and you'll see here they have all the climate controls down here a lot of people were you know I guess struggling with using the climate control up there on the screen while driving and so with buttons that you can actually feel without looking down and understand what they mean they felt like that was necessary now any changes you make to the climate will show up on the screen turning temperature up or down fan speed showing up there as well so that's that's kind of nice it did you still get to see that but otherwise you know of all the controls for climbing are down here your radio controls are still very limited as far as buttons and stuff because it's a lot of it's going to be done up here on the steering wheel but this is your new home screen okay looks a lot like the the sync 3 that you if you have been using interesting it before with if you have navigations you have the map here and then what you're listening to media why is there any information about your phone there that's that's my phone connected this little monster and so that's kind of the same up across the top you have your home button has before your set temperatures for inside 77 to 79 degrees of her dual zone if it was just a one zone AC you would just have the one there as well as the time and outside temperature there on the cross the top so what I want to do is also going to walk through each individual section real quick let's you so see what's involved and what you can do with them as well you also have your current your it's transmitting vehicle data there you are your cell signal there and the Wi-Fi signal to the vehicle there as well so let's first let's work our way across the bottom here audio a couple things that go on with this you can see here this is on Sirius satellite radio the highway station you'll see that this looks a lot different from an AM and FM screen because if I go here to FM you know if there's not a whole lot of information provided by that station you'll see like this one here Sidewalk Prophets calif that's always going to show but on the serious side you have all this you know if the picture of the album singer all that stuff and what you can do as you can get notifications whether a Thomas Rhett song or if that song comes up or you can you know make decisions from there but or you can rewind pause the song and listen to it all the way if you don't want to miss it as your you stop the vehicle you have to go somewhere see so but again if you just have AM and FM like that now wanted to get nice changes is here you don't have to change your sources to get to your preset for that source what you have are two different lists of presets five apiece and just like before you can hold and save a preset like that and so you have ten presets between all three sources serious AM and FM so you know you can go you can transition between them seamlessly it's very nice so that's the media section on the phone all kind of very self-explanatory recent calls you can search your contacts what to phone you can go between different phones if you have multiple ones manage your contacts do some settings for the phone there as well as get some nice notifications and change your ringtone for the vehicle you can change phone you can put in do not disturb you can just go to a straight keypad and type in a number your text message you can see what text messages you have as well as you know for phone voice assistant if I can get that out you know that's using that for plus Alexia Alexa sorry for plus Alexa app and you know through the smart-home stuff if you are so inclined on navigation this is a navigation home screen and if you wait a minute you'll see that the controls drop down to give you a little bit more visual of the map just like that there and so to be able to control it you can pop up the controls and hit menu you can change the screen view to see any upcoming exits show what traffic is available your navigation settings as far as like how you want your routes to go you know where are you you can get a how to to de latitude as well as cross street for where you're at you can search for adult locations look at some history that you've searched up favorites that you might have saved points of interest and then you have your home and work addresses that you can just quickly click to and the navigation goes there you can zoom in and out and decide if you want to point north or if you want to point in the direction you're heading so there you go that's your navigation controls apps are a little tricky with the the usage of Android auto and apple carplay a lot of these different phones you have to just disable those particular functions to have apps that show up up here so I'll get to using Android auto here in just a minute but you know sometimes you'll see apps like music apps Pandor and stuff like that and they won't show up until you actually start using them on the phone and then they'll come up there and finally here settings three levels of settings here sound you that's your balancing and fading front back and your your mixer clock yeah change of clock your Bluetooth settings phone settings Radio driver-assistance which kind of goes to much over deal with different technologies that you would normally have there but they've now moved them to this this menu here make it easier to see things like lane-keeping cruise control active cruise control rear view camera and the like even blind spot information system vehicle settings remote start Mikey easy and entry exit and power liftgate wipers windows mirrors you know things that the vehicle might have some control over on its own but you know it needs your approval those type of things can be adjusted there in the vehicle settings Ford pass Connect is actually how you would go through activating your Wi-Fi hotspot now that you do have three months to get back three gigabytes free if you buy a new vehicle general settings do want to show you this you know general display like how do you want what measures and units you want to use but you also have the about sync there you go three point four is the version and it brings me kind of to a couple down line here you can connect to Wi-Fi for the vehicle for automatic updates any updates that be available for this sync version you will be able to do automatically through Wi-Fi if you so choose mobile apps again that kind of goes back to that apps and and how it's used between Android auto and then your display settings do you want a night mode or day mode or if you want to switch in between and kind of some interesting backgrounds as well so you could change to and get in some different backgrounds make it a little bit more personal for yourself voice control it just kind of lets you know if it gives you some options as far as repeating things back to you and what they call it Vance mode they don't do any of that you just go and it does what you it tells you what you tell it to do of course valet mode anybody it's used valet modes or valet keys before that's just simply putting it in a valet mode there and it doesn't turn off until you put in a sequence of numbers and things to turn it off ambient lighting change your ambient lighting around your feet and then the navigation settings are the same as what those settings were on you know on the navigation part so there you go that is kind of just a brief walkthrough there of sync version the sync 3 version 3.4 for those of you who have new vehicles are looking to get new Ford vehicles that's what you can expect and if you have any questions you can contact me here at Jack came forward at eight five nine eight seven three six six six six just asked for Patrick profit I'm your technology specialist thank you and they have a great day
