FordPass Activate Modem Guide   

FordPass Connect

FordPass Connect is slightly different - it's an integrated modem with a sim card that connects the car to the internet. Software updates happen over-the-air automatically, allowing you to access the very latest features such as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices.

You can use FordPass and FordPass Connect together to get the most out of your experience, even allowing you to remotely start your car (on automatic Focus models). The Focus is the first car to benefit from this technology, but Ford will soon roll it out across more of the range.

    FordPass Connect: Additional Features

    • ​​Live Traffic - through the modem instead of through your phone. Dynamically reroutes you to avoid congestion
    • Wi-Fi hotspot - after a trial period, additional bundles can be bought from Vodafone
    • Remotely start your vehicle to cool it down in summer or warm it up in winter
    • Check your tyre pressures, oil level, fuel range, vehicle location and more

    • Remotely lock and unlock your vehicle from anywhere
    • eCall - emergency services are automatically contacted in the event of an accident. A manual option is useful if you witness an incident
    • More features coming soon

    Up-to-date traffic information

    Live Traffic†† enhances your SYNC 3 Navigation system by delivering real-time traffic updates every 30 seconds. This is our most accurate and up-to-date navigation system ever, and includes traffic information for all roads, rather than just the major roads. The technology then adjusts your recommended route based on the traffic conditions, helping you to arrive more relaxed and on time. Live Traffic is complementary with FordPass Connect for the first two years.­

    Effortless connectivity

    With an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot offering speeds of up to 4G LTE‡‡, you don’t need to use your smartphone’s valuable data allowance to stay online. You can effortlessly connect a maximum of ten devices to the hotspot, load your favourite streaming services, and make those long journeys feel a lot shorter for any passengers or children travelling in your car. FordPass Connect comes with 3 months or 3GB of complementary data. Afterwards you can buy data bundles for a day, a month, or even a year from Vodafone. See their website for details.

    Added peace of mind

    Launching on the All-New Ford Focus, eCall** is a potentially life-saving feature that’s designed to reduce the time between a serious accident occurring and assistance being provided by the emergency services. In the unlikely event of an accident, FordPass Connect can automatically place an eCall to the emergency services and provide them with your vehicle’s location. You can also press an SOS button in your car to contact the emergency services directly if you witness an accident or require emergency assistance.

    Connect to a range of remote features with the FordPass app

    FordPass Connect becomes even more powerful when it’s paired with your smartphone via the FordPass app. Once connected, you can take advantage of a host of innovative new features.


    Ford Pass for Apple   Ford Pass Android


    Start your engine from anywhere

    In vehicles with an automatic transmission, you can now use your phone to start your car’s engine from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere else. This helps you make sure your car is de-iced, warm and ready to go when you are. This feature automatically locks the doors while the engine is on, and the vehicle still requires your key before it can be driven. So don’t worry – your car will stay safe.

    Remote locking and unlocking

    Using the FordPass app, you can now lock and unlock your vehicle remotely. This simple feature means there’s no need to rush back to your vehicle when you can’t remember if you locked the doors. And if you want to let a friend or family member access your vehicle, but you can’t meet them in person, then you can unlock the doors with a tap of the app.

    Never forget where you parked again

    Find your way back to your car when you park in an unfamiliar place, or if you simply can’t remember where you left it. A map in the FordPass app shows your car’s exact location.

    Remote Vehicle Monitoring

    Make sure your car is ready for the road ahead

    With the Vehicle Status feature you can check your car’s fuel level, tyre pressure and mileage before you actually get behind the wheel. Simply check the FordPass app to give you the confidence that your car’s ready for its next journey.

    Vehicle Health Alerts

    Receive Vehicle Health Alerts directly to your smartphone. Amongst a range of useful notifications, the app can tell you when to change your oil, when a lightbulb’s failed, or whether your engine’s overheating. The alert will tell you the exact issue and even give you a recommended course of action. Additionally, you can call Roadside Assistance or schedule an online appointment with your preferred Ford Dealer, all within the app.
