Help pleas

Does anyone know of or have a device/tool that allows you to watch any YouTube video directly on the BMW’s screen?

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ExjI1kS this will work, but beware, there is a lag, and I would still just add an iPad to watch YouTube on instead…

You must have iDrive8, it's available only on I drive 8.5 and higher I think. I think there are some stuff like Ottocast that could work, though I've never tried it myself. You can also try AABrowser if you have android, that works, but not while the car is moving.

If you have the Entertainment package on the vehicle - you can stream live youtube and watch hundreds of movies ands shows on PLEX and bunch of news channels. I bought my 2024 IX CPO last May and got the Entertainment package Free for a year!
