CarVidVideo on your car display
CarVid plays your M3U playlists, Jellyfin / Emby libraries and local videos — and puts them, or any app on your iPhone, on the car screen. No account. Nothing leaves your phone.
For passengers only. Never watch while driving.
Everything you need, and nothing you don't
All you need is a playlist link or your own media server. CarVid parses it, sorts it, and plays it — on the phone or on the car screen.
M3U / M3U8 playlists
Paste a link or scan a QR code. Groups, logos and channel names from your playlist are recognized automatically. Add as many as you need.
Screen mirroring
Put your whole iPhone screen on the car display. Works with any app — even ones without a Cast button. One tap to start.
Cast from your apps
Receive DLNA / UPnP video from compatible apps and continue playback on your car display.
Jellyfin & Emby
Sign in to your own server. Browse libraries, seasons and episodes; episodes are sorted for you and resume where you stopped.
Plays almost anything
Hardware-accelerated decoding, with a software decoder as fallback for MKV, HEVC and DTS. Embedded and external subtitles included.
Car mode & CarPlay
A landscape layout with oversized controls and large type for the car screen, and one-tap switching between entries.
Your own videos
Import files from Files or Photos and play them offline, sorted automatically and ready to go.
Browse while you watch
A mini player keeps playing while you look through the rest of your list. Favorites, groups and search are one tap away.
Private by design
No account, no sign-in. Playlists, server addresses and credentials never leave your iPhone — there is no server of ours to send them to.
Cast anything to your car
Connect your iPhone to CarPlay, open CarVid on the car display, and what's on your phone is on the big screen.
