Ford brings Stingray karaoke app to F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E

Ford owners can now kill boredom while stuck in traffic or waiting for their vehicles to charge with a new karaoke app developed in collaboration with Canadian music and media company Stingray.

Ford says the app will initially be available through a software update on the F-150 Lightning, followed by the Mustang Mach-E.

What’s particularly exciting is that the Stingray karaoke app offers a wide selection of songs from rock, country, pop, R&B, Latin, K&J Pop and family-friendly tunes. The songs are available with 38 language options, including 10 languages in local characters such as Thai, Hebrew, Russian and Greek.

Additionally, the app features a multilingual interface with 36 languages available.

This feature can be used when parked and while driving. Lyrics for the currently playing song will be displayed on the infotainment system touchscreen when the vehicle is stopped and will disappear as soon as the vehicle is moving, ensuring that the driver’s attention remains undistracted.

While the vehicle is in motion, the app will display a QR code on the screen if the vehicle detects a passenger in the front passenger seat with their seatbelt fastened.

Passengers can scan this QR code using their smartphones to access a webpage that allows them to control the karaoke app from their devices.

Through this method, passengers can add songs to their playlist, change songs, view scrolling lyrics and utilise the vehicle’s audio system.

The Stingray karaoke app will first be available for the F-150 Lightning equipped with the SYNC 4A infotainment system, followed by the Mustang Mach-E available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

Furthermore, it can also be downloaded for the Explorer and several 2025 Lincoln models, including the Navigator, Aviator, and Nautilus.
