Fireplace, rain, ocean, northern lights and more. Looping scenes with calming sound for every stop, on your iPhone, iPad or the car’s screen.
Built for the car.
Browse channels and scenes on the car’s display and pick one. Once you’ve said you’re parked, the video plays right there. Switch channels with the buttons on your steering wheel.
Made for parked moments. Each time CarPlay connects, CarScreen asks “Are you parked?” before any video shows on the car’s display. Video shows only after you choose “I’m Parked”. Choose “I’m Driving” and CarScreen keeps to sound.
No signal, no problem.
Download your favorite scenes to play without a connection, at a mountain lookout or on a ferry deck.

Questions
Does CarScreen come with channels?
CarScreen is a player. You add what you already have: an M3U link or playlist file from your TV provider, an Xtream login, or your own Jellyfin or Emby server. CarScreen doesn’t sell or provide TV channels.
Is CarScreen free?
CarScreen is free to download. Without CarScreen Pro, you get 10 minutes of Live TV in total (not per day), one playlist, and the free ambience scenes with no time limit. CarScreen Pro removes the Live TV limit and adds more playlists, every scene, favorites, full-screen Live TV, audio sync, screen mirroring on iPhone and more. Pro doesn’t include any TV channels. Prices are shown in the app.
Can I watch while driving?
No. Each time CarPlay connects, CarScreen asks “Are you parked?” on the car’s display before it shows any video. Video shows there only after you choose “I’m Parked”. If you choose “I’m Driving”, there’s no picture on the car’s display and the sound keeps playing. You can change your answer from the car’s display. Only choose “I’m Parked” when your car is parked. Always keep your eyes on the road.
Which cars work with CarScreen?
CarScreen works with CarPlay and needs iOS 26.4 or later. In cars that support video in CarPlay, you pick channels and scenes from CarPlay’s own lists. In other cars, CarScreen can show its own Live TV and Ambience screens on the car’s display. What the display can show depends on your car and your iOS version. In every car, video shows on the car’s display only after you say you’re parked.
Do I need an account?
No. There’s no sign-up. Your playlists, favorites and settings are saved on your device.
Does it work without internet?
Ambience scenes you’ve downloaded play without a connection. Live TV streams from your provider or your own server, so it needs a connection.
