WheelPal: install apps on Apple CarPlay

WheelPal is a no-jailbreak installer that adds apps CarPlay doesn't officially support — including CarTube and CarStream — via TrollStore. It covers iOS 14 through 15.7.7.

What WheelPal installs

On iOS 16 or newer? WheelPal is inconsistent — go hardware

WheelPal can still work on newer iOS but often breaks due to regional restrictions and Apple's ongoing sideloading crackdowns. For a reliable, version-agnostic option, a CarPlay AI Box bypasses the software restrictions entirely.

FAQ

What's the best method to play YouTube on CarPlay and Android Auto?

App solutions: CarTube, CarStream, AAMirror, Screen2Auto. Hardware solutions: Carlinkit AI Box, Carlinkit TBox, Ottocast AI Box.

How do I add Netflix to Apple CarPlay?

The best solution is hardware: Ottocast AI Box, Carlinkit AI Box, or Carlinkit TBox. CarPlay doesn't support Netflix through app installs directly.

Can I play movies through WheelPal?

Not directly — CarPlay doesn't support streaming apps by default. WheelPal creates a path to third-party apps that aren't normally supported, but for movies specifically, a hardware AI Box or a wireless CarPlay screen is the reliable route.

Does WheelPal still work on new iOS versions, including iOS 26?

WheelPal is still working on adding apps to CarPlay, but it can be inconsistent due to regional restrictions. Worth trying, but a hardware solution is more reliable if it doesn't work for you.
