About this app
DriveSync® focuses on safety and overall smarter driving. You can use DriveSync to experience connected car services and features; from hands-free texting, to in-car infotainment. DriveSync is completely voice-powered, with easy-to-use ‘tap and talk’ interaction so you can play music, tweet, talk, text, email, and post to Facebook safely while driving.
When you launch the DriveSync connected car interface, you'll be greeted by a simple voice-powered menu that delivers services and features designed especially for in-car use, unlike standard and limited voice assistants on the market. The hands-free, driver-centric interface helps reduce distracted driving while quickly transforming any car into the ultimate connected car. Stay connected and productive at all times, without ever having to take your hands off the wheel and your eyes off the road.
DriveSync is a connected car product developed by IMS, a world leader in automotive technology, so you’ll always have access to latest updates and new features as soon as they're released.
