Ford launches Android Wear app to find & control your car, but only for three models so far

Ford has updated its MyFord Mobile Android app to add Android Wear support for its three electric and hybrid cars. The watch app allows you to get walking directions back to your car, check battery status and range, lock and unlock the car, start it remotely and check a range of stats … 

The watch app also allows you to find charging stations and program a cabin temperature timer.

Both apps only work with the C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi Plug-in Hybrids, and those Focus Electric models with on-board LTE modems.

MyFord Mobile is a free download from Google Play. The company announced back in April that its in-car dash systems would be platform-agnostic, supporting Android Auto, Apple’s CarPlay and its own SYNC systems.
