How to Mate a Bluetooth Phone With a 2009 F 150

The 2009 Ford F-150 came with a wide array of high-luxury and high-tech options available. One of these options was Fords Microsoft-powered Sync. This system allows the driver to change radio stations, adjust the radio volume, perform basic vehicle diagnostics and even make phone calls by just speaking. Sync utilized Bluetooth technology to access the drivers cell phone, in order to make hands-free calling possible. To make this system function correctly, as with all Bluetooth devices, you must pair the cell phone with Sync.
