Ford Transit Connect (2016 year). Manual — part 88

Supported Media Players, Formats
and Metadata Information

SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any
digital media player, including iPod,
Zune™, plays from device players, and
most USB drives. Supported audio formats
include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.

It is also able to organize your indexed
media from your playing device by
metadata tags. Metadata tags, which are
descriptive software identifiers embedded
in the media files, provide information
about the file.

If your indexed media files contain no
information embedded in these metadata
tags, SYNC may classify the empty
metadata tags as unknown.

Bluetooth Audio

The system allows you to stream audio
over your vehicle's speakers from your
connected, Bluetooth-enabled cell phone.

Hands-free calling is one of the main
features of SYNC. Once you pair your cell
phone, you can access many options using
the touchscreen or voice commands. While
the system supports a variety of features,
many are dependent on your cell phone’s
functionality.

At a minimum, most cell phones with
Bluetooth wireless technology support the
following functions:
•

Answering an incoming call.

•

Ending a call.

•

Using privacy mode.

•

Dialing a number.

•

Redialing.

•

Call waiting notification.

•

Caller ID.

Other features, such as text messaging
using Bluetooth and automatic phonebook
download, are cell phone-dependent
features. To check your cell phone’s
compatibility, see your cell phone’s user
manual and visit www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
