I recommend grabbing:

Pair Your Phone with Your Car
Now it’s time to connect your phone and new ride!
- First, make sure Bluetooth is turned on for your phone.
- Hop into your car and hit the Phone button on the dashboard screen.
- Select Add Device or a similar option to pair a phone.
Then just follow the prompts:

- When you see that same PIN on your phone, confirm to pair them up.

The steps vary slightly between SYNC versions, but that’s the basic gist.
