2023 Ford E-350 Mobile Device Data
MOBILE DEVICE DATA
- If you connect a mobile device to your vehicle, you can display data from your device on the touchscreen, for example, music and album art. You can share your vehicle data with mobile apps on your device through the system.
- The mobile apps function operates by your connected device sending data to us in the United States. The data is encrypted and includes, for example, the vehicle identification number of your vehicle, the SYNC module serial number, odometer, enabled apps, usage statistics, and debugging information. We retain it only as long as necessary to provide the service, troubleshoot, for continuous improvement, and to offer you products and services that may be of interest to you according to your preferences and where allowed by law.
- If you connect a cell phone to the system, the system creates a profile that links to that cell phone. The cell phone profile enables more mobile features and efficient operation. The profile contains, for example, data from your phonebook, read and unread text messages, and call history, including the history of calls when your cell phone was not connected to the system.
- If you connect a media device, the system creates and retains a media device index of supported media content. The system also records a short diagnostic log of approximately 10 minutes of all recent system activity.
- The cell phone profile, media device index, and diagnostic log remain in your vehicle unless you delete them and are generally accessible only in your vehicle when you connect your cell phone or media device. If you no longer plan to use the system or your vehicle, we recommend you use the master reset function to erase the stored information.
- System data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to your vehicle’s module.
