Is my Lincoln vehicle equipped with a modem?

You can determine if your vehicle has a modem by your window sticker or your SYNC®* screen. A vehicle modem is an optional feature that provides a full range of features available through the Lincoln Way®** app, including Remote Start, Vehicle Health Alerts, and Recall notifications.

Determine if Your Vehicle has a Modem:

  • Check your vehicle's window sticker for Lincoln Connect.
  • Check your in-vehicle SYNC screen:
    1. Tap Settings.
    2. Select Vehicle.

      Note: If your modem is not activated, it will appear as Onboard Modem Serial Number (ESN).
