What is the cloud?

The “cloud” is simply a lofty way of describing the internet — specifically all the information, such as music, media, weather, news and more, you can access remotely from it. When something is in the cloud, it means it is stored on remote servers instead of your computer or device hard drive, yet you have access to it virtually anytime.

How does the cloud, or cloud connectivity, work with SYNC 4® Technology?

SYNC 4 Technology* is 24/7 cloud-connected. By integrating cloud-based connectivity and conversational language comprehension, it delivers in-depth search results and more functionality for users through optional Connected Navigation (90-day trial)** or Connected Built-In Navigation (3 years of service)***. Owners always have access to the latest information with almost every request – from the closest restaurant to the nearest electric vehicle charge station, if equipped.

This means you can enjoy:
