The ability to stream video content from Netflix on a vehicle’s infotainment system through Apple CarPlay is not natively supported. CarPlay is designed primarily for navigation, communication, and audio playback, prioritizing driver safety and minimizing distractions. Directly displaying video while driving is generally restricted for safety reasons.
Circumventing these restrictions offers potential benefits, such as passenger entertainment during long journeys. Historically, individuals have sought methods to mirror their smartphone screens or use third-party apps to achieve video playback on CarPlay displays. These approaches often involve software modifications or external hardware that may violate manufacturer warranties or terms of service.
