Connected Built-In Navigation 4

Connected Built-In Navigation enhances your embedded satellite navigation, with benefits such as updated maps and live traffic updates that provide the fastest routes with alerts and re-routes based on incidents like accidents and congestion. You can also get the latest weather reports along the way.

Updated map data is also used by certain Driver Assist features such as Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, and Intelligent Speed Assist.

Connected Built-In Navigation is offered for a 1-year trial from the warranty start date, after which it is subject to a subscription fee. Without Connected Built-In Navigation, you will still have access to embedded navigation. However, additional functionality such as live traffic and updated map data will be discontinued. If you use the Driver Assist features mentioned above, we recommend that you keep map data updated via Connected Built-In Navigation.

  • Q Modem Compatibility

    The embedded modem in your vehicle was designed to work with specific cellular networks available when your car was manufactured. If those networks are no longer available, connected services and all data transmission via the modem will cease.

    The 3G network has been decommissioned in Australia.

    For vehicles with 3G modems, an over-the-air software update was released to ensure compatibility with the 4G network. If you encounter any issues, please contact your Ford Dealer to check that the update has been successfully installed in your vehicle.

    To check the network compatibility by vehicle:

    We are working on always improving the FordPass App and user experience. To achieve this, Ford may make changes to features, including adding, removing, or modifying existing ones.

    [1] Use of FordPass is subject to the FordPass Terms and Privacy Policy available on ford.com.au/FordPass and requires a compatible mobile device, internet access and software (including software updates from time to time). FordPass functionality and appearance may change over time due to software updates. You are responsible for internet access, mobile network data and voice call services required for your use of the FordPass App on your mobile device, including associated fees. The FordPass App and FordPass Connect modem can only work when both are connected to the telecommunications network. The FordPass Connect modem will only function on the telecommunications networks it could use at time of manufacture. When all compatible networks for the modem in your vehicle are no longer available, the modem will stop functioning and the connected services and all data transmission via the modem will cease. Ford cannot guarantee that FordPass will be in fully operating condition at all times and the FordPass App may be unavailable or particular FordPass services interrupted. Ford is not responsible for any limitations or restrictions of the telecommunications network or of your mobile device. Warning: Local laws prohibit some phone functions while driving. Check your local road rules before using these functions. Use Remote Vehicle Start and Stop responsibly and only in well-ventilated areas where you are aware of your vehicle’s surroundings.

    [2] Vehicle Location settings must be switched on.

    [3] Remote Start & Stop only available on automatic vehicles. Use responsibly and only in well-ventilated areas where you are aware of your vehicle’s surroundings.

    [4] Connected Built-In Satellite Navigation is a Connected Service whereby eligible vehicles receive 1-year of service from the time of Ford Express New Vehicle Warranty start date, after which it is subject to a subscription fee. (Refer to nameplate brochure available for download from the relevant model page for current feature availability). Without Connected Built-In Navigation, you will still have access to embedded navigation. However, additional functionality such as live traffic and updated map data will be discontinued. If you use the Driver Assist features mentioned above, we recommend that you keep map data updated via Connected Built-In Navigation. Users must have created a FordPass App account (terms apply), have fully activated the vehicle’s FordPass Connect modem and have SYNC Location set to ‘on’ to use this feature.
