Man's Ford Screen Asks To Update—It Includes Video Streaming Karaoke. There’s Just One Problem: 'Don't Update'

There's nothing quite like someone showing up to a party with a karaoke machine, only to announce the microphone is off-limits once everyone starts having fun. That's essentially what one Ford owner's latest over-the-air software update promised: streaming video and built-in karaoke for his truck, but there was some pretty important fine print.

The TikTok clip from creator Feels for Wheels (@feelsforwheels) seems to view the entire proposition of in-car karaoke as a novelty or a luxury, but there's clearly a bit of angst over the fact that the driver's participation becomes limited once the wheels start turning. An on-screen software update spells out that when the vehicle is taken out of park, lyrics will no longer appear on the infotainment screen, and passengers will need to use a provided QR code on their smartphone to keep up with the song.
