How to play videos with CarPlay

When you’re not driving, you can play videos from your iPhone on your CarPlay display. CarPlay video apps work in vehicles that support the video-in-car feature.

You can also use AirPlay to play video or audio from your iPhone on your CarPlay display, then disconnect AirPlay when you’re done.
