How do I find the password for my Ford's Wi-Fi Hotspot*?

You can use your SYNC®** touchscreen or the radio (vehicles not equipped with SYNC) to view the password for your Wi-Fi hotspot.

Viewing the Wi-Fi Hotspot Password

Select your SYNC generation (gen) from the drop-down options below to learn how to find your Wi-Fi hotspot password.

Identifying Your Vehicle's SYNC Gen

Two resources to help you identify your vehicle's SYNC gen 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 gen will appear on the right-hand side of the page.

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

  1. Select Settings on the Feature bar.
  2. Tap Vehicle Hotspot.
