BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
1. Set up your owner account at SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or
SyncMyRide.ca (Canada). Register by following the on-screen
instructions. After registering you can see which services you
are eligible for.

phone’s menu options. This lets your phone find SYNC. If you
need more details on setting up your phone with SYNC, visit

SYNC has a media hub with multiple inputs allowing you to access
personal media from your digital devices. Plug in your USB media
devices such as phones and MP3 players and use SYNC to play all
of your favorite music.
Note: SYNC indexes your music; the more stored information you
have on your USB device, the longer it takes SYNC to index.
Using Voice Commands to Play Music
You can use voice commands to access and play music on your
digital media player when it is plugged into your media hub.
1. Plug your media player into your USB port.
2. Press the voice button
