Hi Everyone!

Here it is - me streaming YouTube in the Lightning using Android Auto. Lots of uses for this!
(All jokes aside though, please be responsible. I did this for fun, and you can hear in the background BlueCruise getting upset that it couldn't detect my eyes.)

Without further ado, this was the method I used to do so. Best of all, it's absolutely free!

1. Download & Install AAAD (Android Auto Apps Downloader)
2. Install CARSTREAM under the "Multimedia Apps" section
3. Enjoy!

Just as a side note, the free version lets you download 1 app every 30 days.

For 3.50 Euro's I think this app is well worth buying to unlock the full PRO version and support the creators!

What does the widget app do? Haven't tried it out yet, but I think AA does a good job making sure the main apps (that I use at least) are pretty accessible.

I wonder if this is possible with an iphone
Someone else had asked me that as well.

My experience with iOS is limited to the first few generations of the iPhone, so I'm really not sure. However, an alternative could be to keep a burner android phone that you can connect whenever your kids are in the car and you need YouTube!

It's stuff like this that make me afraid to ride my motorcycle anymore.
Yeah, the streets aren't safe. I could never ride a motorcycle. Good luck!

Widget app was a bust. It pulled up a list of my widgets available but once I pressed one it glitched out and closed. Tried it on phone first nothing. Tried it via android auto too nothing. Running sync 3 on a ford cmax phev

It's ok, I'm not sure it works anymore.

Got a new phone, the icons no longer show up on AA.
