I work at a dealership in Canada and was in a meeting with Ford where they were showing how Ford is working on this app, I have attached some pictures below which will explain how the app works. Please excuse the quality Of the pictures.

There are actually some really good articles and videos on the app in a 3 part series on Bronco Nation. They are referenced in other posts here on B6G -

Could you imagine if we could get a B6G app directly on our 12 dash screen? I’d be parked as much as driving. “ kids we gotta pull over for a minute. @618TRVLWILD just posted pics of the new bronco green option. So what if we’re late? You’ll get another birthday next year.”

Wow, that’s wild. It will be interesting to mess around with all the maps.

@TorontosBronco unfortunately the map content for this is being provided by Trails Offroad and FunTreks.

Looking at both their websites there is absolutely nothing for Ontario...

We may be SOL.

But really though, the phone recording+sync4 telemetry integration seems really cool

Neat. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Looks like they're putting some significant effort into this.

"... mount their phone in a variety of built-in mount locations..."

First, obligatory "so where's the info on the BYOD rail?" comment.

Second, that almost sounds like they are pushing you towards specific camera positions. Wonder if any are outside of the vehicle? Got to be all kinds of disclaimers in the app that Ford isn't responsible if you break or lose your phone.

Live tire PSI data. Topo maps and sky view maps. GPS tracks.
I am using "alpinequest off-road explorer" for my 4x4 trips but it looks like this will have everything I need.

That’s included with which trim?

I hope for a mount that uses the center console passenger grab handle for a phone or tablet.

Yes, do all Broncos have the mount points for the BYOD rail?

How hard will it be to add power to the rail if you have a lower trim Bronco?

Second, that almost sounds like they are pushing you towards specific camera positions. Wonder if any are outside of the vehicle? Got to be all kinds of disclaimers in the app that Ford isn't responsible if you break or lose your phone.

Will this use the built in 360 cameras on the high package? or can you use a GoPro or other wifi camera?

From all the recent pics, it definitely appears that all will have the mounting point for the rail.

The continued of existence of the rail, and how to get it, are another question entirely. It doesn't appear to be listed in any package or on any accessory list.

From all of the descriptions of the app and trail system, you won't be able to save any video from the vehicle's cameras. Presumably that's why it explicitly mentions using your phone to record video.

Any Bronco with Navigation
