Is it possible to use Netflix on Android Auto? Absolutely, check out these easy instructions!

Okay, so I’ve been trying to get Netflix to work on my car’s screen using Android Auto. It’s not officially supported because, you know, they want you to focus on driving, not binging your favorite shows. But, come on, sometimes you just want to watch something during those long waits or when you’re parked. Anyway, I found a way, and I’m gonna tell you how I did it, step by step.

First off, I made sure my phone was up to date. I checked that both Android Auto and the Netflix app were the latest versions. That’s always a good starting point, right? You don’t want to be dealing with some outdated software when you’re trying to hack your way into something.

Next, I connected my phone to my car. I just used a regular USB cable, nothing fancy. Plugged one end into my phone and the other into the car’s USB port. Boom, connected.

Now, here’s where it gets a little tricky. Since Netflix isn’t officially supported, I had to find a workaround. I heard about these apps that can mirror your phone’s screen onto your car’s display. Seemed like exactly what I needed. I did some digging and found a couple that looked promising: Screen2Auto and CarStream. There’s also this thing called AAAD, which I guess stands for Android Auto Apps Downloader. They all seemed pretty straightforward, with simple interfaces.

I decided to try out Screen2Auto first. I downloaded it from somewhere online—not the official app store, obviously. Installed it on my phone, and it was pretty easy to set up. There were a few permissions I had to grant, but nothing too crazy.

Once I had Screen2Auto running, I opened Netflix on my phone. Then, through Screen2Auto, I mirrored my phone’s screen to the car’s display. And guess what? It actually worked! I could see Netflix on my car’s screen, just like that. It was a bit laggy at times, but hey, it was working.

I also gave CarStream a shot. It worked similarly to Screen2Auto. Downloaded it, installed it, mirrored my screen, and Netflix was there on my car’s display. Honestly, both apps seemed to do the job just fine.

So, there you have it. That’s how I got Netflix to play on my car’s screen using Android Auto. It’s not the most official or recommended way, but it works. Just remember to be safe and responsible. Don’t be watching Netflix while you’re driving, okay? Use it when you’re parked or waiting for someone. And always make sure you’re not breaking any laws or anything. The last thing you want is to get into trouble just to watch a show in your car.

Oh, and one more thing, make sure you’re downloading these mirroring apps from sources you trust. You don’t want to end up with some shady software that messes up your phone or steals your data. Be smart about it.
