How do I renew my SYNC 4 Connected Navigation services?


*Don't drive while distracted or while using handheld devices. Use voice-operated systems when possible. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear.  Not all features are compatible with all phones.

**Services require SYNC®4 or newer, activation through Lincoln Way® App (subject to Lincoln Way Terms), modem activation, and a Connected Navigation service plan. Equipped vehicles come with either a 90-day or up to 3-year Connected Navigation trial from new vehicle warranty start date, after which purchase is required. Connected service and features depend on compatible AT&T network availability. Evolving technology/cellular networks/vehicle capability may limit functionality and prevent operation of connected features.
