Ford Focus III (2011-2021) connect phone and pair bluetooth diagrams & schemes

SYNC is an in-vehicle communications system that works with your Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone and portable media player.

How to pair a phone with SYNC using Bluetooth?

Wirelessly pairing your phone with SYNC allows you to make and receive hands-free calls.

SYNC can support downloading up to approximately 4000 entries per Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone.

Make sure to switch on the ignition and the radio. Shift the transmission into park (P) for automatic transmission or first gear for manual transmission.

Phone pairing using the audio system

1. Make sure to switch on your phone's Bluetooth feature before starting the search. See your device's manual if necessary
2.  Press the PHONE button. When the audio display indicates there is no paired phone, select the option to add.
3. When a message to begin pairing appears in the audio display, search for SYNC on your phone to start the pairing process.
4. When prompted on your phone's display, enter the six-digit PIN provided by the system in the radio display. The display indicates when the pairing is successful.

Depending on your phone's capability and your market, the system may prompt you with questions, such as setting the current phone as the primary phone (the phone SYNC automatically tries to connect with first upon vehicle start-up) and downloading your phonebook.

Phone pairing using voice commands

Make sure to switch on your phone's Bluetooth feature before starting the search. See your device's manual if necessary.

Press the voice and when prompted say:

COMMAND: (pair ([Bluetooth] device | phone | Bluetooth audio) | add [a] phone)

Then follow the instructions on the audio display.

You can say any of the voice commands that appear within open and close brackets that are separated by |. For example, where; (what's | what is) appears you say; what's or what is.

You must say any of the voice commands that appear outside of open and close brackets. For example, where; who plays this (what's | what is) playing, you must say; who plays this (what's or what is) playing.

The commands that have [ ] around the word means that the word is optional.
