Join the Ford Dev Team in Barcelona Mobile World Congress 2019

Join the Ford Dev Team in Barcelona from 25-28 February for the Mobile World Congress and experience the latest in in-car technology demonstrated through the power of innovation using SDL.

Ford is collaborating with start-ups, major businesses and industry leaders across the globe to make the car more connected than ever before. From delivering your favorite navigation apps to helping you connect to meetings, Ford is making your car journey as seamless and stress-free as possible.

AppLink is a suite of APIs that provide the ability for mobile developers to extend the command and control of a mobile application to the in-vehicle Human Machine Interface (HMI).

SmartDeviceLink (SDL) is an open-source POSIX-compliant technology platform on which the Ford AppLink product is built and allows it to communicate between applications running on a mobile device and our SYNC in-vehicle software.

OpenXC is a non-production open source interface, designed to attract top developers to experiment with DIY projects in Ford vehicles (with or without SYNC).
