This guide will show you the proper procedure to connect any iPhone to Ford F-150 or any other Ford vehicle with a Sync3 system.

- Then press Add a Bluetooth Device, which will display Search for SYNC menu.
- Now go over to your cell phone’s settings, and make sure the Bluetooth is turned on.
- Now on your vehicle’s display, touch Discover Other Bluetooth Devices button. If a pop-up appears, touch Continue.
- Another pop-up will appear with “searching for discoverable Bluetooth devices” message.
- If your Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone, then it should bring up a device after a few seconds.
- If you don’t see any on the vehicle’s screen, then touch SYNC button on your phone’s discovery.
- After you touch either of the button, it will then take a few seconds to connect and display a pop-up with PIN code and ask if it matches to the pop-up displayed on your iPhone.
