Stingray launches in-dash streaming apps for Ford & Lincoln vehicles

Stingray has launched two new co-branded apps rolling out to drivers of Ford and Lincoln vehicles in Canada and the U.S.

The Ford Streaming Radio and Lincoln Streaming Radio apps will be available in popular models, including the 2025 and newer Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Aviator, and Lincoln Navigator, as well as the 2024 and newer Lincoln Nautilus.

The apps feature an audio catalogue that includes over 100 curated ad-free music channels, over 100,000 local and international radio stations, and a podcast library that includes over four four million podcasts. The app interface features the ability to bookmark favourite content and use voice commands to play, pause, or skip tracks while driving.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with an iconic American brand to bring the Ford Streaming Radio and Lincoln Streaming Radio apps to life,” said Jim Riley, President of Stingray Music USA. “We worked hand in hand with the Ford team over many months to create a tailor-made in-dash audio experience powered by Stingray. Whether it’s discovering new music, staying informed on breaking news and travel updates, or diving into captivating podcasts like Ford CEO Jim Farley’s Drive, these apps ensure that every journey is informative and entertaining—and increasingly tailored to the driver’s preferences.”

The launch of the apps follows the rollout of the Stingray Karaoke offering in select Ford vehicles in 2025. Customers will need to activate via Premium Connectivity or the Connectivity Package.  

Stingray said the launch “underpins” the company’s broader strategy to expand access to its extensive global content catalogue.
