Enabling SYNC 3 Mobile Apps
In order to enable mobile apps, SYNC 3 requires user consent to send and receive app authorization information and updates using the data plan associated with the connected device.
The connected device sends data to Lincoln in the United States. The information is encrypted and includes your VIN, SYNC 3 module number, odometer, usage statistics and debugging information. We retain this data for only as long as necessary to provide this service, troubleshoot, and improve products and services and to offer you products and services that may interest you where allowed by law.
Note:
You must enable mobile apps for each connected device the first time you select a mobile app using the system.
Note:
Lincoln reserves the right to limit functionality or deactivate mobile apps at any time.
Note:
Standard data rates apply. Lincoln is not responsible for any additional charges you may receive from your service provider, when your vehicle sends or receives data through the connected device. This includes any additional charges incurred due to driving in areas when roaming out of a home network.
You can enable and disable apps through settings. See
Settings.
App Permissions
The system organizes the app permissions into groups.You can individually grant these group permissions.You can change a permission group status any time when not driving, by using the settings menu.While in the settings menu, you can also see the data included in each group.
When you launch an app using SYNC 3, the system may ask you to grant certain permissions, for example Vehicle information, Driving characteristics, GPS and Speed, and/or Push notifications. You can enable all groups or none of them during the initial app permissions prompts. The settings menu offers individual group permission control.
Note:
You are only prompted to grant permissions the first time you use an app with SYNC 3.
Note:
If you disable group permissions, apps will still be enabled to work with SYNC 3 unless you deactivate All Apps in the settings menu.
