Plex on Carplay

Plex on Carplay

Plex Media Server is a digital media player and organizational tool that allows you to access the music, pictures, and videos stored on one computer with any other computer or compatible mobile device.

Use any compatible device to watch movies, listen to music, and view pictures stored on a computer that runs Plex Media Server. Access media files stored on your Plex Media Server computer remotely over the internet. Allow friends and family to access your movies, music, and pictures over the internet.

Is Plex Free?

Plex is free to download and use, but you don't get access to all the features unless you pay a subscription fee. You can still do a lot with the free version of Plex, but certain features like mobile sync and live television are locked behind the Plex Pass service. While free tier doesn't bill you monthly, there's a $5-per-platform activation fee if you want to use the Plex Android and iOS apps. The Premium tier costs $5 per month, $40 per year or $120 for a lifetime pass.

Plex on Apple Carplay and Android Auto with Plexamp

Android Auto Devices

Plex now works on Android Auto thanks to the Plexamp app. 

Plex for Android Auto makes enjoying your music easier by seamlessly integrating with your car display. With larger touch areas, a simplified interface, and intuitive voice commands, you can quickly start enjoying your music and safely get to where you need to go. All you need to get started are the Android Auto and Plex for Android apps. Interact with Android Auto from the app on your phone, your supported vehicle’s dashboard, or by using Google Voice.

Sample voice commands:

  • Play my ‘If you cut me off I’m going to blast this horn‘ playlist on Plex
  • Play ‘Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley‘ on Plex
  • Play ‘Life is a Highway by Tom Cochran‘ on Plex
Support for Apple Carplay should start during the month of June as suggested by the developers. If you don't want to wait there is another way to use it on Carplay. If you have a jailbroken iPhone a tweak called carbridge allows you to run any app on CarPlay including Plex. All of our Carplay modules are compatible with PLEX.
