The days of fumbling with your phone to find the perfect driving soundtrack are officially over. Starting this October, new audio apps are arriving in the U.S. and Canada for Ford and Lincoln drivers.
Powered by Stingray, the newly launched Ford Streaming Radio and Lincoln Streaming Radio apps are available directly in the vehicle’s SYNC ® or Ford/Lincoln Digital Experience system, transforming how you listen on the road.
Whether you’re commuting to work or heading out on a cross-country road trip, the new apps offer an impressive library designed to enhance your driving experience. The apps offer more than 100 ad-free music channels, over 100,000 radio stations from around the world, and a library of over four million podcasts.
An intuitive interface makes it easy to find and bookmark favorite content, while voice commands allow customers to easily play, pause, or skip tracks using voice command while driving.
This seamless integration is the result of a deep collaboration. “We worked hand in hand with the Ford team over many months to create a tailor-made in-dash audio experience,” explains Jim Riley, President of Stingray Music USA. “Whether it’s discovering new music, listening to your favorite radio stations, or diving into a podcast, these apps help make every journey more enjoyable.”
These new apps from Stingray expand on the popular Stingray Karaoke app introduced in 2025. Available to drivers in the US and Canada, the apps will roll out on select Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the 2025 and newer Ford Explorer ®, Expedition ®, Lincoln Aviator ®, and Navigator ®, as well as the 2024 and newer Lincoln Nautilus.
To unlock this world of audio, drivers of eligible vehicles simply need an active Premium Connectivity* or Connectivity Package plan*.
