How to Stream Video on Apple CarPlay in 2025

🚘 Can You Watch Videos on Apple CarPlay?

Apple CarPlay was designed with driver safety in mind, which is why video streaming is not natively supported by Apple. You won’t find YouTube or Netflix in the official CarPlay ecosystem. But thanks to evolving aftermarket solutions, watching videos on your CarPlay screen is now possible — under the right circumstances.

📺 Why Would You Want Video on CarPlay?

Whether you’re waiting in your car, parked during a road trip break, or entertaining passengers, video streaming through your car’s infotainment screen offers a huge boost in convenience and entertainment.

⚠️ First: A Note on Safety

Never watch videos while driving. These solutions are intended for use while parked or for passengers. Safety should always come first.

🧩 How Does It Work?

The AI Box connects to your vehicle’s USB CarPlay port and launches a full Android interface on your screen. From there, you can install any Android app—just like on a tablet.

You can:

• Stream Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Plex, and more

• Download offline content for travel

• Use Google Chrome, Waze, and other Android apps

And yes, you still retain full access to CarPlay and Android Auto when needed.

🛠️ Installation Steps

1. Plug the AI Box into your car’s USB CarPlay port.

2. Wait for the Android interface to boot (usually under 30 seconds).

3. Connect to your mobile hotspot (or SIM card if supported).

4. Open the Play Store and install your favorite streaming apps.

5. Enjoy your entertainment while parked.

🔄 Alternative Options (Not Recommended)

There are jailbreak methods or DIY software hacks that mirror your iPhone screen onto your CarPlay display. However:

• They often void warranties.

• Can cause lag or crash frequently.

• May not support video or audio syncing.

• Require technical knowledge.

For these reasons, we strongly recommend using plug-and-play solutions like our AI Box.
