FAQ related to CarPlay YouTube

Can I watch YouTube on CarPlay without Jailbreak?

It’s possible to watch YouTube on CarPlay without jailbreak using the CarTube app or using a CarPlay adapter. From these 2 methods, we recommend the CarPlay adapter over CarTube due to following reasons.

• As CarTube supports only a few iOS versions, you’re unable to update your iPhone to the latest iOS versions.
• In case you update your car or your iPhone, you can still watch YouTube on CarPlay with the support of a CarPlay adapter.
• CarPlay adapters enhance your CarPlay experience by upgrading OEM wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay.

Conclusion

As we discussed the options you have to watch YouTube on Apple CarPlay, both have pros and cons. When considering the cost, jailbreaking is the best option to enable YouTube on CarPlay. It does not require any additional hardware purchases, but it could restrict you from using some financial apps like mobile banking apps.

This drawback can be eliminated with the non-jailbreak app CarTube, but you may not be able to update your iPhone to the latest iOS versions which can be a hassle for some users.

The main advantage of using a hardware upgrade (CarPlay adapters) is it will do the job without tweaking your iPhone and some options we listed above will upgrade your CarPlay experience as well, by enabling wireless CarPlay with supported devices.

Due to these reasons, we suggest that using a CarPlay adapter is the best option to enable YouTube on Apple CarPlay.
