How to Watch Netflix on Android Auto

Part 1. Can I Watch Netflix on Android Auto?

Why can't you watch Netflix on Android Auto? This limitation stems from serious safety concerns. Streaming video content while driving is highly distracting and can be dangerous. Both Google and Netflix prioritize safety, which is why they haven't enabled Netflix for Android Auto. They want to ensure that drivers stay focused on the road, not on their screens.

But let's say you're determined to find a way around this. You've read online about third-party apps that might help. You decide to give it a shot. First, you enable installation from unknown sources on your Android device. Then, you download an app like CarStream, hoping it will let you mirror your phone's screen to your car's infotainment system.

You connect everything, open Netflix on your phone, and… a black screen appears. Frustration sets in as you realize this black screen is a built-in safeguard to prevent unauthorized streaming. Netflix's content protection measures are doing their job, but it leaves you without your much-anticipated entertainment.

However, there's a reliable workaround that works perfectly for those long trips. You can still enjoy your favorite Netflix shows and movies, but with a bit of preparation.

Part 2. How to Get Netflix on Android Auto

You'll need a tool called StreamUlt Netflix Video Downloader. This tool lets you download Netflix videos directly to a USB drive.

You can now make it happen by using a USB drive to play videos you've downloaded. Just ensure your USB drive has enough storage space for all the videos you plan to transfer.

1. Format your USB drive to FAT32 or exFAT. These formats are commonly supported by car infotainment systems.

5. Navigate through the menus to find the MP4 files you transferred.
   Tip: Some cars may require you to switch to the USB source manually. Check your car's manual if you're having trouble finding the media options.

7. Press play, and the video should begin to stream on your car's screen.
