Ford Owners Just Got Smarter with SmartLink

As our car technology goes through the roof, car drivers become more savvy about vehicle connectivity and expect the latest and greatest to satisfy their technology  needs. And that's why this move by the Ford Motor Company is brilliant and that's why all of us at Maven Autobody Repair give kudos for the recent decision that will affect Ford owners in Sun Valley, CA and all over the country.

Why are Ford owners with vehicles made between 2010-2016 so excited? Because millions of them will be able to benefit from Ford SmartLink, a technology that enables connectivity that is usually only available on new vehicles featuring modems.

 But, by utilizing a device that plugs into the vehicle's OBD-II port directly underneath the steering wheel, Ford SmartLink is now available to people who own Ford and Lincoln vehicles made within the last seven years.

By using this highly-reviewed and nationally popular application, the new and improved SmartLink will enable users to do the following:

·    Smartphone-powered remote start, lock and unlock and other security features

·    A 4G Wi-Fi hotspot that can accept up to eight devices

·    Ongoing vehicle health and security alerts

·    Vehicle location assistance

Developed in conjunction with Delphi Automotive and Verizon Telematics, SmartLink will be available starting this summer at Ford and Lincoln dealerships nationwide. An official release date has not been released and the price hasn't been announced yet either, but when SmartLink becomes available, we can bet that it will be a huge hit.

From buttoned-up security to world-class performance across the platform, Ford Motor Company conducted in-depth comprehensive testing and made a wide range of significant improvements to make certain that Ford SmartLink enhances the customer experience for Ford and Lincoln car owners. By further tweaking the application and making it more user-friendly, Ford was able to make what they described as a "smarter SmartLink" than ever before.

So, if you want to take your 2010-2016 Ford or Lincoln into the new world of convenience and connectivity, the carmaker is willing to take you back to the future. By using some of the most advanced features available on the market today, SmartLink should be a welcome addition to any Ford or Lincoln, as long as it doesn't cost owners an arm and a leg.
