YouTube on CarPlay?

For security reasons, CarPlay blocks a large number of applications, such as YouTube. Why is that? Because video driving could cause accidents and is therefore prohibited. Fortunately, there are tools to get YouTube behind the wheel, especially when the vehicle is stationary. How do you do it? We take stock!

CarBridge to get YouTube on CarPlay

For compliance and driving safety issues, Apple has put in place some restrictions and some apps are blocked by CarPlay. This is notably the case for YouTube. Fortunately, there is a solution to get around this blockage: CarBridge.

To make it simple, CarBridge is a tool to unlock applications blocked by CarPlay. This way, the driver can launch all the apps of his iPhone directly on the center console of his car. He can take full advantage of YouTube while driving. He can also navigate on Safari, use VLC, Plex, Twitch, Google Play Music, etc. For Netflix, DRM protections on the video level prevent the app from being displayed on CarPlay.

The operation of CarBridge is quite simple. You don't need to be a professional. Just install the tool, choose the apps you want to see on CarPlay and launch them directly from the centre console of the vehicle.

Remember that CarBridge is compatible with iOS 10, 11, 12 and 13 devices for only $4.99.

NGXPlay, another solution to get YouTube behind the wheel

If you are looking for a free solution to get YouTube on CarPlay, NGXPlay is for you. It is a tweak that allows you to run all iOS apps on CarPlay. In addition to the YouTube app, you will be able to launch Google Maps, Waze, Deezer, Facebook... or games if you are lucky enough to have a touch screen.

Once installed, all you have to do is make a few settings, including the PPS setting to get better performance by reducing the number of images a little.

Note that NGXPlay is available for free and is compatible with devices under iOS 8, iOS 9 and iOS 10.
