Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility ensures seamless smartphone integration. Commuters in Salem will enjoy the available B&O sound system by Bang and Olufsen for concert-quality audio. SiriusXM satellite radio programming comes standard with a three-month prepaid subscription. Ford mobile hotspot capability keeps everyone online during longer journeys across Michigan.
