Due to safety concerns, Apple does not allow YouTube or any video streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, etc. on CarPlay. However, there do exist a few hacks that can allow you to play YouTube videos on CarPlay. Now, before we go any further, we would like to add a note here that the safety concerns of video streaming apps on CarPlay are very real.
Hence, make sure you behave responsibly and stream YouTube only when you park your vehicle. Moving ahead, you are aware that CarTube, NGXPlay, CarBridge, and Wheelpal are some of the most popular tweaks that allow YouTube on CarPlay. Let us check out whether these are valid on iOS 17 as well. You should check this out – CarTube – Watch YouTube on CarPlay Without Jailbreak (FREE).
Play YouTube on CarPlay iOS 17
Method 1 > CarBridge
CarBridge can get you any app running on CarPlay except those that cater to DRM content. This means apps like Netflix and Prime Video will not work, however, the same is not true for YouTube. CarBridge works well in enabling YouTube on CarPlay.
However, there is a catch. For CarBridge to work you must have a jailbroken iOS device. CarBridge supports iOS 13 – iOS 16.6.1. With no jailbreak available, yet for iOS 17, we cannot answer the question right now whether YouTube will work on CarPlay with CarBridge. Until then, let us keep our fingers crossed and hopes high.

Method 2 > Wheelpal
Wheelpal is an elaborate tool that works in three areas viz jailbreak solutions, non-jailbreak solutions, and hardware solutions. You can utilize the Wheelpal app itself to jailbreak your iOS device. Based on NGXPlay, using Wheelpal you can run any app that you want on CarPlay. This includes all the video streaming apps like YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, and more.
Wheelpal is compatible with iOS 17.1. When you launch Wheelpal on your iOS device, it will automatically detect the iOS version installed on your device and based on the detected version, things that Wheelpal can do for you will come in front.
Now, to utilize Wheelpal at its complete potential, jailbreak is necessary. As we do not have a jailbreak yet for iOS 17, let us see how it fairs when a working jailbreak comes out.
Method 3 > NGXPlay
Speaking about NGXPlay, it started with iOS 8. However, from iOS 14, the updates for NGXPlay ceased to come. As of now, though it is one of the best jailbreak tweaks for CarPlay, there are no still updates to NGXPlay and we are expecting the situation will remain the same for iOS 17. Hence, NGXPlay will not enable YouTube on CarPlay iOS 17.
Method 4 > Carlinkit Wireless CarPlay AI Box
This is not a software but a hardware solution. It does not matter whether you are using a jailbroken iOS device or a non-jailbroken iOS device. Carlinkit is a wireless adaptor for CarPlay. Please note that his hardware device supports Android Auto as well.
Speaking about YouTube on CarPlay with iOS 17, Carlinkit can easily do the trick for you. Moreover, apart from YouTube, you get to enjoy Disney+, Netflix, and TikTok as well. Another coolest feature of this amazing adaptor is that it carries an SD card slot as well through which you can play media too.
