WiFi on Select 2018 Ford Vehicles

The review website protoolreviews.com had this to say about the addition of WiFi capabilities on select 2018 makes and models in the 2018 Ford line-up.  These become available this fall!

Ford recently announced the addition of the built-in AT&T 4G LTE Ford SYNC Connect Wifi Hotspot which gives passengers a new way to stay connected in select 2018 Ford models.

The hotspot can support up to 10 devices at a time and, when parked, is accessible up to 50 feet outside the vehicle. An external antenna improves the signal and increases Wi-Fi performance, in both everyday commuter traffic and long family trips.

SYNC Connect Wi-Fi hotspot users can monitor data usage, signal strength, and connected devices, plus block certain devices and change settings on the SYNC 3 touch screen. They can use FordPass to view Wi-Fi data usage and link to AT&T’s account management portal.

Ford owners can select a standalone AT&T data plan. Existing AT&T customers can easily share data among their smartphones, tablets, and vehicles with an AT&T Mobile Share Advantage or Mobile Share Value plan. New vehicle buyers qualify for a trial subscription of three months or three gigabytes – whichever comes first.

To take advantage of the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability, a 2018 Ford vehicle must come with the appropriate hardware and a wireless service plan is required. Data coverage and service is not available everywhere and terms of your wireless plan, including applicable data and message rates, may apply.
