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

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.
