CarTV is a lightweight M3U / M3U8 playlist tool, built for watching on the road.
SCREEN MIRRORING
- Put your whole iPhone screen on the car display: works with any app, even ones without a Cast button
- Open any app and it shows up on the car screen exactly as on your phone
- One tap on the Cast to Car tab to start
WHAT IT DOES
All you need is an M3U or M3U8 link. CarTV parses it, sorts the entries into the groups defined in your playlist, and plays them. No account, no sign-in, nothing to configure.
FORMATS AND PLAYBACK
- M3U and M3U8 playlists
- HLS and standard HTTP streams
- Hardware-accelerated decoding, with a software decoder as fallback for MKV, HEVC and DTS
- Embedded and external subtitles, including tracks extracted from MKV
- Reads tvg-logo and group-title tags from your playlist
- Remembers where you left off
YOUR OWN MEDIA SERVER
- Connect to your own Jellyfin or Emby server
- Browse your libraries, seasons and episodes
- Episodes are sorted automatically and resume where you stopped
- Server addresses and credentials never leave your device
CAR MODE
A landscape layout made for a phone in a dashboard mount: oversized controls, large type, and one-tap switching between entries. Built for passengers.
Note: for passenger use only. Never watch while driving.
MOMENTS WORTH STOPPING FOR
Park by the lake on a quiet weekend, set up your fishing rod, and finally watch that old movie you've been saving. At the campsite, stay curled up with your partner after sunset while you wait for the stars. During a forty-minute charging stop, watch two cartoons with the kids or catch up on that movie you and your friends have talked about for ages. When the car is parked and the big display lights up, an ordinary wait becomes time worth remembering.
MANAGE YOUR PLAYLISTS
- Add as many playlist URLs as you need, by link or by scanning a QR code
- Refresh, rename, or remove any of them
- Filter by the groups in your playlist
- Mark favourites for quick access
- Import video files from your device and play them offline
MINI PLAYER
Keep playing while you browse the rest of your list. No need to back out and start over.

This app isn’t like others it gives 40 free minutes to try the app not like other apps that tells you to subscribe fast this app lets you try their services first then ask for a subscription and not like others it has the lifetime option that is a great offer but I don’t think that it deserves that price it should be lower cause we won’t use it often but I like the apps idea that I can cast my screen to the Apple car play that is a genius idea I love that from the developer but there is some sound delay or video delay but I would like if the app would be free but I like the efforts and I thank the owner or the developer for the great app or idea of the app

Great app but needs one thing

The app is excellent and works really well overall. It’s honestly one of the best solutions I’ve found for using video content through CarPlay.There are just two features/fixes that would make it perfect:1. Audio/Video Sync (Delay Adjustment): Some cars, especially Mercedes-Benz systems, have noticeable audio latency. It would be extremely useful to have an A/V sync option that allows us to manually delay the video or adjust the audio/video offset so everything stays perfectly synchronized.2. Mercedes COMAND Controller Support: The Mercedes touchpad/rotary controller (“mouse”) doesn’t seem to work with the app at all. Since many Mercedes models don’t have a touchscreen, supporting the COMAND rotary controller/touchpad for navigating and selecting items would make a huge difference.Other than these two issues, the app is fantastic. I’d really appreciate seeing these features in a future update!

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback — and honestly, the COMAND controller thing is on me. When I was working on the interaction improvements, I was so focused on touchscreen support that I completely forgot about rotary/touchpad controllers. That's been fixed and will be included in the next update.As for A/V sync adjustment — that's a great call, especially for Mercedes systems with audio latency. We'd love to get this right, so if you're up for it, feel free to reach out to us at cartv@support.growing.inc with more details about your setup. It'd really help us build this feature in a way that actually works for you.

An excellent app with outstanding customer support! The app works very well, but what impressed me the most was the support team. They were extremely kind, responsive, professional, and genuinely willing to help until my issue was completely resolved.It’s rare to find such excellent customer service nowadays. I truly appreciate the time and effort they put into helping me, and they left me with a very positive impression of both the app and the team behind it.Highly recommended! 👏🔥
