You may have heard of Ford’s SYNC® electronic communications. It is a factory-installed, integrated in-vehicle communications and entertainment system developed by Ford. It allows you to make hands-free telephone calls, get driving directions on-the-go, control the music you listen to, and perform many other functions, all with the use of voice-activated commands. SYNC® comes equipped with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability, as well as other built-in apps, and it is available on certain Ford SUVs and trucks.  Explore SYNC® at Rockdale Country Ford in Rockdale, TX.
