What do I need to make Video Streaming work?

Ford Premium Connectivity is currently available for Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning Lariat or Platinum customers with the latest software update.

Leverage Ford Premium Connectivity for the most seamless video streaming experience, without having to worry about finding a local connection or having your streaming experience interrupted by a weak Wi-Fi connection.

What if I already have a Ford Premium Connectivity plan? Can I use it to stream video?

Yes, you can.

How do I connect to Wi-Fi?

When you select one of our Video Streaming partner icons, if connectivity is not established, you will see a pop-up message that can assist.

  1. Press Connect to Wi-Fi in the pop-up message.​
  2. Tap Manage Wi-Fi Networks.
  3. Press View Available Networks.
  4. Select a strong, secure, password-protected Wi-Fi network to stream. You will want to choose networks that show the strongest signal available and a lock icon, indicating that it is password protected.​

Why do I not see a Wi-Fi Network that is nearby?

Video Streaming requires a strong, password-protected network. In your Wi-Fi menu, you will want to choose networks that show the strongest signal available and a lock icon, indicating that it is password protected.

  1. Press Connect to Wi-Fi in the pop-up message.
  2. Tap Manage Wi-Fi Networks.​
  3. Press View Available Networks.
  4. Select an available, secured network (one with a lock).​

Note: If you do not see the strong, secure Wi-Fi network you are looking for, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again to refresh the list of local networks available.

What does the lock icon mean next to the Wi-Fi network I have chosen?

The lock represents a password-protected network. These are the best networks to use to support Video Streaming.

Why am I being told to connect to the internet when I am already connected to Wi-Fi and Video Streaming is not working?

Please ensure that you have chosen a network with a strong signal and a lock next to it, indicating that it is password-protected.
