Creating a Vehicle Wi-Fi Hotspot - Vehicles Without: SYNC
Use your FordPass app to create and change the name and password of your Wi-Fi hotspot. Visit your regional website for more information on the FordPass app.
Make sure your FordPass account is connected to the Connectivity Device. See
Connecting FordPass to the Modem.
Note:
The Wi-Fi Hotspot may be defaulted to off. If so you will need to switch it on using the FordPass app.
Connecting a Device to the Wi-Fi Hotspot
- On your device, turn on Wi-Fi and select the hotspot from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
- When prompted, enter the password.
Purchasing a Data Plan
- Connect a device to the hotspot.
Note:
The vehicle network carrier’s portal opens on your device.
- If the portal does not open on your device, open a website and it redirects to the vehicle network carrier’s portal.
Note:
Secure websites do not redirect.
Note:
If you have an active plan, the system does not redirect to the vehicle network carrier’s portal when you connect a device. Visit the vehicle network carrier’s website to purchase more data.
Note:
If data usage information is available in the vehicle hotspot menu, it is approximate.
Note:
If you carry out a master reset, the system does not remove your vehicle from your vehicle network carrier’s account. To remove your vehicle from the account, contact your vehicle network carrier.
Note:
The vehicle network carrier provides Vehicle Hotspot services, subject to your vehicle network carrier agreement, coverage and availability.
