How do I add a destination with SYNC^®* Navigation?

Two resources to help you identify your vehicle's SYNC generation are the:

• SYNC and Navigation Updates page. Either:
  • Enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and select Check for update.

  • Log in with your Ford credentials, choose a vehicle from your garage, and select Check for updates.

    Note: Your SYNC generation will appear on the right-hand side of the page.

• SYNC Visual Reference Guide, which provides example images of SYNC generations that Ford has offered.

Notes: 

• When you are on an active route, the SYNC Navigation map shows your estimated time of arrival, remaining travel time, and distance to your destination.

• Minor traffic changes will not provide a re-route. This feature requires an active SiriusXM^®** Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link subscription.
