How do I find my Ford vehicle's Electronic Serial Number (ESN)?

To locate your ESN, identify which generation of SYNC you have, then select the appropriate drop-down menu below.

You may need your ESN when contacting SiriusXM, or when attempting to update your SYNC navigation maps.

Notas:

  • The ESN for SiriusXM and for navigation maps are different.
  • The ESN for SiriusXM should start with a V or a W.

Identifying Your Vehicle's SYNC Generation

There are two resources to help you identify your vehicle's SYNC generation:

  • SYNC and Navigation Updates page allows you to enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or log in with your Ford credentials, and select Check for update. Your current SYNC generation will appear on the right-hand side of the page.
  • SYNC Visual Reference Guide has example images of each generation of SYNC Ford has offered.
