Now playing in your car.

A charging stop. A friend running late. A quiet break along the way. Bring your videos to the car display and make a little more of the wait.

Getting ready for the App Store. Stay tuned.

Two ways to play. Both feel familiar.

Something saved on your phone, or a video from an app you already use. Start with the content you have.

Receive app casts on CarPlay

Same app. Just tap Cast.

In an app that supports DLNA / UPnP, tap Cast and choose Car Player. Watch on the car display and control playback from your phone.

Does it work with every car and video app?

You need a CarPlay-compatible vehicle. Video output also depends on the system, vehicle and content. Casting requires a source app that supports DLNA / UPnP and provides accessible, playable media. Compatibility with every app or vehicle isn’t guaranteed.

Does it mirror my entire iPhone screen?

Car Player plays videos and receives casts; it does not mirror your entire iPhone screen. It does not include movies, TV shows or subscriptions to video platforms. Bring content you have the right to play.

Can I watch without an internet connection?

Local videos fully imported into the app can play offline. Cloud files may need to download before import. Casts from other apps and network media depend on their source and network connection.

Can I watch while driving?

Watch only when legally and safely parked. Drivers must not watch or operate video playback while driving, and passenger use must not distract them. Follow local traffic laws and your vehicle’s safety restrictions.

Why does casting enhancement ask for a VPN configuration?

This optional feature helps with device discovery and requires you to enable it and authorize a system VPN configuration. It handles specific local discovery traffic, has no remote VPN exit and is not a general internet proxy. You can turn it off and manage its configuration in iOS Settings.

Are videos uploaded? Do I need an account?

No account is required. Local videos and viewing progress aren’t uploaded to our servers. Network videos connect to their content source, and the app uses third-party attribution to measure advertising performance. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Your next stop. Your next video.
