【Drive】SA breaks with YouTube & Netflix! The genuine display becomes a video player

Waiting time in the car can surprisingly extend due to children's lessons, shopping, and family outings. Instead of peering at the small screen of a smartphone, it would be great to watch the continuation of a movie on the car's display. Set up the "Ottocast Play2Video X" and enjoy YouTube and Netflix on your genuine display.

Waiting time while parked becomes family entertainment time

Weekend shopping malls, picking up kids from their extracurricular activities, and service areas on the way home. There’s often quite a bit of waiting time in the car, right? Watching videos on your smartphone is nice, but if possible, you’d want to utilize your car’s original display. The device that fulfills that wish is the Otocast in-car adapter "Play2Video X."

Since you can use the original display as a video player, there is no need to install a new monitor. The time spent in your beloved car is likely to become a bit more special.

Simply plug it into the USB to turn the original screen into a video player

The usage is simple: just plug the device into the car's USB port. If your car comes with wired CarPlay (a system that allows you to use the iPhone's features on the car's screen), the display will directly act as a video player.

Enjoying familiar apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video on a large screen is exciting just to think about. Additionally, by using the dedicated "APP Hub," you can add up to five apps from over 20 different options. If you include the family's favorites, conversations like "What should we watch next?" are sure to flow.

You can also play videos saved on a USB memory stick, making it reliable even in mountain campsites where the signal is weak. Preparing by adding the kids' favorites before departure should also turn into a fun time.

While driving, navigate and enjoy music wirelessly.

The appeal of this adapter is that it supports not only videos but also wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. You don't have to connect your smartphone with a cable every time, allowing you to use navigation and music wirelessly. It's nice that you can switch between watching videos while parked and using navigation while driving, depending on the scene.

The main unit is equipped with 4GB of memory and 32GB of storage. It supports two frequency bands of Wi-Fi, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and is designed to utilize smartphone tethering and wireless connections simultaneously.

Your usual car becomes the family's theater

Enjoy the continuation of a drama during the 15 minutes of waiting while shopping, or watch cartoons with your children during a driving break. Even ordinary waiting times can turn into family time depending on how you spend it. It's also attractive that you can expand the utilization of the genuine display without changing your car.

However, it is primarily compatible with vehicles equipped with genuine wired CarPlay. Since there may be instances where it cannot be used depending on the model, year, and specifications of the navigation system, be sure to check the compatibility information before purchasing. How about considering an update for your car interior for the next family drive?
