Ford’s AppLink Is Now Available On 1M Vehicles, Will Host Developer Challenge At TC Disrupt Hackathon

Ford today announced that its AppLink platform is now available in 1 million vehicles across the company's fleet. The AppLink API allows developers to link their mobile apps to Ford's SYNC platform and lets drivers manage the apps through voice controls and radio buttons on their steering wheels. The platform is still invite-only and some of the supported apps include Pandora, TuneIn, Slack Radio and NPR News. Just like last year, Ford will also once again sponsor an AppLink Developer Challenge at our own TC Disrupt San Francisco Hackathon next month.
