How to ADD YouTube to Android Auto Coolwalk with CarStream App (NO PHONE ROOT REQUIRED)

Hey fam, I recently upgraded my phone to a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and having a blast playing around with all of its features! In this video, I'll show how I added KZbin to my Android Auto Coolwalk experience in my 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

FINALLY! someone who can clearly make a video with easy to understand steps. Very well done. Would like to see the different options and why you would choose one over the other, ie carplay vs. mirror etc... Thank you.

[@xiomaragarcia1399]

This is awesome 👌 I tried it and it works great thank you 😊

[@YukonHawk1]

Great video. Keep them coming.

[@aleksanderpolanski]

Greetings from UK. Thanks man really helped me out. Works for me VW golf with one plus 9 pro.

[@mihaipredescu]

At first i was so skeptical installing third party apks on my new Samsung S23 Ultra.. but seeing your video made me install it and now i cant wait to connect my phone tomorrow to my car headunit (both devices, the phone and car head unit have Android Auto capabilities and the head unit itself has Android 10 OS but i feel was a bit too distracting with so much commands and keeping my eyes on the road is more important, so yes, for a beginner user of Android Auto now, i am pretty satisfied with this idea. Less buttons, less stress, convenience of having all with a simple touch, these are important life-savers. Thanks for your video!

[@vietbubbletea]

Thanks!

[@jasonmichaelgould5059]

Watched the video 1st then rewatched it & followed the instructions and voila i now have youtube/carstream in my car. Excellent thanks for the info...

[@vietbubbletea]

I'm glad it worked for you! Be careful of future Android OS updates as Google is trying to make these apps incompatible.

[@jasonmichaelgould5059]

Thanks for that, will look at your videos for updates.

[@tangalfred]

Very informative, thank you for such an amazing video!

[@vietbubbletea]

Thanks Alfred!

[@832djhyki]

Thanks great video been trying to do this

[@BlazinNSoul]

This is worth a try! I used to use carstream 2.0.5 but that doesn't seem to work anymore. As my android audio in my car doesn't recognize it. AAAD enabled doesn't work either so the latest version of Android must have changed something with that. So hopefully this will work as a work around.:)

[@alanlozada6092]

its work well but very difficult to install I try might and I pay 3 dis to aaa to keep install. try....

It dont work with android 14 but they working on it ​@@alanlozada6092

YOU ARE AN AMAZING VIDEO CONTENT PRODUCER. I AM TRYING THIS NEW APP NOW APPRECIATE IT. ONE QUESTION DO YOU KNOW ALOT ABOUT PLEX, I SAW IT ON YOUR SCREEN

[@vietbubbletea]

Thanks! The Plex TV app was pre-installed in CarStream and I rarely use it. I did test it out justfor the heck of it and the live TV streams work fine. Some of the on-demand movies have a 'plug-in error' code when playing after a minute. I should mention that I don't have a Plex account and the test was based on their free content.

[@StandStrong43]

How can I get KZbin to customize options? It's not showing up

Hi i really like it you’re car mount holder where did you buy it thank you

[@vietbubbletea]

Thanks, I bought it on AliExpress. Do you have a 12.3" or 8" monitor? Depending on the size, there are two different car mount holders I would recommend. Watch this video and the product links are in the video description! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmLYnpudpq91jrM

[@basiliorodriguez4094]

Thank you for the video. But when I did it ,I only got a sound from the video and a message that said to not watch videos while driving. I have a Toyota Tacoma 2019. What can i do to fix that issue. Thank you.

[@vietbubbletea]

I never had that issue so I'm not sure why... Is the message coming from your Toyota head unit or from Android Auto? Does it work fine when th car is parked?

[@fatsecurityguard2864]

People are saying it dont work no more with android 14

[@DOEGrindz]

I cant find "connected devices" in settings on my s8 plus. Is there an alternative to this step? Thanks.

[@vietbubbletea]

You can access Android auto via the Apps folder>In-app notification settings >Customize Launcher

Worked great 👍. Thank you so much How about another video how to to do AAmirror as well ❤

great video but for some reason car stream wont pop up on my android auto i bought pro version and still wont pop up plz help

What car, phone and version of Android are you running? Can you clarify if the CarStream app is visible in the launcher list?

[@chowqwing246]

[@DawgFada]

What are the potential security hazards of installing/using this I wonder? Aren't you essentially allowing an unapproved file onto your phone? Couldn't that result in someone hacking/thieving info from your phone? LOVE the idea, just nervous to let the app in I guess?

[@vietbubbletea]

Security concerns are always valid, there's plenty of apps in the Play Store that raise the same privacy and security concerns such as TikTok so it's up to the user to decide. I agree that individuals should do their own due diligence when researching the multitude of mirrored sites and 3rd party apps to download from. The CarStream developer has been providing updates to his app since 2017 and communicates on Github with no users reporting any issues. I guess it's a matter of personal risk tolerance if you want to buy an AI box and hope it doesn't go obsolete from an OS software update.

[@chuckfan1]

​@vietbubbletea seems to work However, no search function on KZbin on the screen?

[@chiefflash]

is there a solution for infotainment systems that are NOT touchscreen? annoyingly enough, my 2022 acura mdx is not touchscreen, and i cannot navigate around carstream to choose any of the apps! annoying as hell! i've tried both carstream and fermata auto. same issue.

[@vietbubbletea]

Sorry, there's no work around for that, you're stuck with that touch pad unless you decide to go with an aftermarket touch screen product.

[@chiefflash]

@@vietbubbletea I figured as much. My workaround is using Screen2Auto. Thanks for the input. Also, if i go the aftermarket route, i probably won't even need carstream lol

[@denisejacinto4745]

Why am I having trouble with this? I have a Motorola android phone and steps are not the same. When I got to AAAD site it said i couldn't download until Jan 2024??? Help

[@fatsecurityguard2864]

It having problems with Android 14 and i think there working on it

[@kimchin7948]

The carstream on my car screen only show a message : 'No new message during this drive'. What is the problem and how to solve it? Thanks

[@vietbubbletea]

You must have a Google Pixel huh? They don't like apps like CarStream so your version of AA may not support it as they block other 3rd party apps. You might have a solution if you download this APK, read this thread and you'll see someone provided a download link to it. Good luck, github.com/shmykelsa/AAAD/issues/247

[@JohnyCray]

Mine says the same too and I have a S22 Ultra​@@vietbubbletea

[@manningcustom]

can you have navigation and carstream at the same time?

[@vietbubbletea]

Not on the multimedia screen at the same time but you can run Google maps from your phone while CarStream is in use

[@KorageAA]

Do you have to keep updating the AAAD app and carstream to have it working all the time?

[@vietbubbletea]

No, if your phone is compatible then it will work. The issue some people have is when their OS updates to a newer version, it may stop working until the developer decides to update the CarStream app but that hasn't happened for many years now. Mines still works fine on a Samsung S24

[@KorageAA]

@@vietbubbletea thank you so much. Your content is really helpful. I am a happy subscriber

[@vietbubbletea]

@KorageAA I appreciate the support! 🤜🤛

[@kobinako5521]

The carstream app doesn't show up in my custmize list in android auto settings

[@disha7878]

you need to restart your phone

[@xcaliber_gaming]

What about updates for Android Auto ? Will it still work ?

[@vietbubbletea]

The CarStream developer has done a good job providing a new Apk anytime Google has released a new version of AA that becomes incompatible. That's going to be the case for any software update. Currently at the time of this writing, CarStream app is working with the current version of AA.

Can we watch videos on youtube stream app while car is moving?

Yes you can at your own risk 😉

[@bucho969696]

How do you get Android auto coolwalk?

[@vietbubbletea]

If you have the latest Android OS 13 then you should already have it, you can check your current AA settings to see if the latest version 9.0.630834. If not, you may be running an older version of Android like I did on my Samsung S8 where there were some missing features lik album art on the music player, etc.

[@Travelwithmagalysergio]

It doesn't let me download carstream.

[@vietbubbletea]

I just tested downloading CarStream from the AAAD app and it still works.

[@Travelwithmagalysergio]

@vietbubbletea I downloaded it once, but it didn't work, so I deleted and want to reinstall it, but It doesn't idn't let me

[@vannyf328]

Do you know a way for apple by any chance ? Lol

[@vietbubbletea]

I don't have much experience with Apple but I heard that Carbox app worked but not for iOS 16 until the firmware is updated.

[@tomcorley238]

Yep, doesn't work. Followed steps but not recognized.

[@vietbubbletea]

Google recently updated their UI in the current Android OS to block apps like this. You'll need to run an older version or root your phone at this point.

[@ellickkwong4479]

How bout iOS??

[@vietbubbletea]

This app won't work with iOS, you can lookup and download CarTube for Carplay which supports iOS 14 to 15.4.1. If you have iOS 16, you're SOL until it becomes supported.
