Ford Escape
, start by opening the Settings menu on your device, and make sure you have Bluetooth turned on.Next, turn on your car, and follow these simple steps:
- Press the PHONE button on your infotainment screen.
- Press ADD PHONE.
- Open the Bluetooth menu on your smartphone, select SYNC, and wait for a PIN to display on your phone and your car’s touchscreen.
- As long as the PINs match, select YES on the confirmation screen, then tap PAIR on your phone.
At this point, give your car access to your contacts so you can make and receive hands-free calls and texts, and use voice activation. You’ll also be able to use voice commands in order to start or stop music from playing through your vehicle’s stereo system—but if you want to select a specific song or playlist, you’ll have to use the controls on your smartphone.
