Ford Announces Slew of Sync 3 Updates, Including Amazon Echo Integration and 4G LTE



Ford is using the 2017 CES technology show to announce a slew of updates to its Sync 3 infotainment system, including Amazon Echo integration, built-in 4G LTE data and Wi-Fi hotspot, and more. Nearly all of the changes come into effect for the 2018 model year, but some are on their way sooner. Here’s a rundown:

Users can connect up to 10 devices at a time to the included onboard Wi-Fi, and the signal is strong enough to reach devices up to 50 feet away from the vehicle. New Ford owners will be gifted a three-month free subscription to the service, and after that they may add a stand-alone AT&T data plan for their car or add their car?s service to an existing AT&T phone plan. The only hitch" The data connection requires hardware that is not fitted to today?s Sync 3 systems, meaning it will be limited to Fords from the 2018 model year forward.
Amazon Echo Integration
