CarStream: watch YouTube on Android Auto
CarStream is the top-rated software option for streaming YouTube on Android Auto — lightweight, no root required, and works from Android 7 and up.
What CarStream does
CarStream streams YouTube video through a WebView embedded directly in Android Auto, giving you a video-capable YouTube experience on your car's display without rooting your phone. It's open-source and widely used in the Android Auto community.
Installing CarStream
CarStream is distributed via wheelpal.cartube.app — the same install hub used for CarTube and the other apps in this ecosystem. Always install from the official source; only stream while your vehicle is safely parked.
On iPhone instead?
CarStream is Android Auto only. iPhone users should install CarTube for Apple CarPlay instead.
