How to Play Music Using SYNC 2

Owners can listen to the full selection of music stored on their phones or other devices by connecting them to Ford SYNC 2, using one of the methods discussed below. Once connected, audio that would otherwise come through the phone or device's speakers will be audible through the vehicle’s speakers. 

This works for any audio playing from the phone or device whether it comes from the music playing app or an online source like YouTube. 

The following sources can be selected to play music. Choose the required option using the touch screen or voice-control.

USB

Select to access a music source plugged into the USB port of the media hub, such as a digital media player or USB memory stick. When a music source is plugged into the port SYNC 2 will index the device to see what information is available on it and make corresponding voice commands.

To access USB audio using voice control:

  1. Press the Voice button on the steering wheel
  2. Say “USB”
  3. Use an available voice command, e.g. “Play All" or "Browse"

Or you can directly use commands after pressing the voice button to select a title, artist or album, e.g. "Play <The Beatles>"

Note: If the digital music source has a name, such as “Joe’s iPod,” that will appear on the touch screen instead of “USB”.

Bluetooth Audio

Select to access audio streaming wirelessly from a paired, Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.
To access Bluetooth audio using voice control:

  1. Press the Voice button on the steering wheel
  2. Say “Bluetooth Audio”
  3. Use an available voice command, e.g. “play “, “Next” or “Pause”

Note: Using Bluetooth Audio rather than the USB port will limit the amount of voice control available.

CD

Select to access the CD player menu to Advance, Reverse, Scan, Shuffle or Repeat, plus access Options to adjust the sound settings, text display and compression settings.

To access CD audio using voice control:

  1. Press the Voice button on the steering wheel
  2. Say “CD”
  3. Use an available voice command, e.g. “play/pause” or “next track”

SD Card

Select to access audio available on an SD Card inserted into the media hub.

  1. Press the Voice button on the steering wheel
  2. Say “SD Card”

A/V In

Select to access audio/video from devices plugged into the A/V jacks of the media hub, such as a digital video camera or gaming system.

  1. Press the Voice button on the steering wheel
  2. Say “Line in”

Note: The vehicle must be parked to view a video, as video playback is a speed-restricted feature. Availability of A/V jacks depending on program, some programs alternatively provide an Auxiliary Input Jack (Line In) instead.

Radio

Ford SYNC 2 allows passengers to control the vehicle’s DAB and radio player using the touch screen or voice control.

To access Radio audio using voice control

  1. Press the Voice button on the steering wheel
  2. Say “Radio”
  3. Say “DAB”, “FM” or “AM”
  4. Alternatively, the name of a radio pre-set, e.g. “DAB Pre-set 2”
  5. Alternatively, say a specific station, e.g. “FM 101.2”

Set radio pre-sets using the touch screen:

  2. Touch FM
  3. Touch Options
  4. Touch Autostore Pre-sets (AST); refresh/store the system automatically stores the six strongest stations in the current location
  5. “Autostore” will appear on the screen until the process completes, which may take several seconds

Manually (if selecting a station than is not a pre-set)

  1. Touch the Entertainment corner on the touch screen
  2. Touch FM
  3. Touch Tune
  4. Enter the desired frequency and touch Enter

  7. After a brief period of silence, the sound will return when the station is saved
  8. The name of the pre-set will change from the old to the new station
  9. Alternatively, use the Tune/Seek button on the radio to find a station, then touch and hold a pre-set to save
