Car passengers can enjoy the television while traveling on the road thanks to Android Auto. Although this function is not designed for the driver, since he must pay attention to the wheel and not be distracted, it can be ideal so that other people do not get bored on a long trip. The only thing you have to do is download an application.
More and more users have Android Auto in their cars. Those that do not have it integrated as standard in their new vehicles have introduced it with screens that have the famous Google operating system or even with the mobile phone. Whichever way you use this on-the-go infotainment tool, there’s a way to watch every channel on your TV while you’re on the go.
To do this, the application you must download is IPcarTV, which gives access to a long list of channels. This platform is completely legal and completely safe, although it cannot be downloaded from the official Android app store. However, the driver should not take his eyes off the road if he is driving.
If the co-driver’s favorite TV program starts and he doesn’t want to miss it, or you want the rest of the passengers to enjoy a soccer game and they aren’t convinced by the radio, this Android Auto app could be the solution. Even the driver can enjoy a moment of rest watching a series if the journey is long and you make a stop at a gas station.
How IPcarTV works
The first thing you should know is that it is not enough to just install IPcarTV on your car’s Android Auto screen. Actually, you have to have an IPTV list on mobile, like DTT Channelswhich is possibly the best known in this regard.
The next step will also be to download an app installer on Android Auto. An interesting option in this regard could be AAStore. This alternative app store for the operating system for cars is where we will have to access IPcarTV, to bring the television programming from the mobile phone to the vehicle screen.
This process has no loss and is very intuitive and easy to carry out. However, in case you are not familiar with these tools and find it difficult to program, we leave you the step by step below:
- Access the website of DTT Channels.
- On the home page, they offer different links to watch TV in different formats and devices. We will be interested in copying the one next to m3u8.
- AAstore is an open source app that allows you to install unauthorized services directly in Android Auto. Therefore, you will have to download it from GitHub.
- Once the alternative app store is installed, you can search IPcarTV and install it. But, to do this, you must authorize the installation of unknown apps on Android.
After doing the above, we will have passed the most difficult part and only the simplest will remain:
- Open the IPcarTV app and click on the option «Playlist and favorite channel manager».
- There, the plus symbol (+) will appear at the bottom.
- At this point, you must choose the name from the list. For example, you can call it “Television”, “DTT Channels”, or “Channels” so that it is representative of what you will find when you click.
- After pressing “Next”, you will see a box in which you must paste the link of the IPTV list that you copied from TDT Channels
- The last step is only to connect the mobile phone to the car with Android Auto and, thus, you will be able to see the IPcarTV application and that your companions are entertained on long road trips.
