Originally released in 2018, SmartLink was an OBD-II plug-in device designed to add 4G LTE Wi-Fi and remote features (like remote start and lock/unlock) to 2010–2017 Ford models that lacked built-in modems. Current Status & Alternatives

If you are looking to purchase , please be aware that Ford has discontinued this specific product and it is no longer officially supported.

: If you are searching for a "Smart Data Link Module," this usually refers to a internal gateway control module for newer vehicles rather than the consumer plug-in device.

: For older vehicles (2010–2017), you may need to look into third-party aftermarket remote start and telematics systems (e.g., Compustar or Viper) if you still want smartphone-controlled features. Original Product Summary (For Reference)

: For 2020 and newer models, these features are now natively built-in via the FordPass Connect modem and the free FordPass App .

: Sales were halted in late 2018/2019, and Ford officially ended support for the service. Even if you find a used unit on sites like eBay , it likely cannot be activated or used with current FordPass systems.
