CarStream for Android Auto
CarTube is an iOS-only app and doesn't run on Android Auto. CarStream is the officially recommended software solution for watching YouTube on Android Auto instead — here's what it supports.
What is CarStream?
CarStream is a lightweight, no-root app for streaming YouTube on Android Auto, supported from Android 7 and up. It's installed via WheelPal rather than a direct APK download.
