How to Call 911 using Ford SYNC

If it's an emergency, sometime you just don't have enough time or energy to pick up your mobile phone and call 9-1-1. Sometime you just can't move and the only thing still working is your mouth. Ford's new SYNC system provides an option for hands free 911 Assist. In a crash involving airbag deployment, 911 Assist places a call directly to a 911 operator. Your bluetooth phone must be on and stored somewhere inside the vehicle.

Ford SYNC is the one-stop, totally integrated infotainment shop, offering customers a seamless hands-free connection to their cell phone, digital music player, emergency assistance, vehicle diagnostics and real-time navigation and information. No Smartphone required. No costly service subscription, data plans or application and equipment purchase necessary. No need for unsightly suction-cupped docking stations. All you need is a simple Bluetooth-enabled cell phone.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
