Can I watch video in a 2019 g70 2.0 advanced?

[Segagenesis88]

I’ve tried usb with a hundred different formats..
Haven't tried a different usb..
Cant find an sd slot if there is one…
Always says there are no media files on device


I’ll even try to get an android device if mirroring is an option… i know carplay doesn’t mirror for wired carplay connections right?

I want to watch while parked for now…
I’m starting to believe this feature was left out and only can read audio files…

If anybody has a hack pleeeeeease let me know. I dont want to buy a tablet for the car. Lol

The sd slot is in the middle of the dash, underneath a small plastic cover.
Since you have tried different formats, I'm sure that you probably tried mp4 on the usb device?
I can try some different things this weekend to see if I can get it to work.

Thanks man, yeah i been trying everything! but in actuality it seems like the way i'm downloading them from youtube should be the best way.. everytime I convert the files to avi or divx they end up being huge which i think can be an issue. The site that let me download them from youtube is making the videos 720p mp4s about 15 or 16 mb..
I have a fat32 usb. I'll try the sd card today.

I think it's a safety issue

I tried mp4 and xvid on the usb and they were ignored by the car.
I am running android and screen mirroring is probably the best option.
I installed aaad and then aa mirror but it did not work for me. You may want to try it.

How to install apps for Android Auto that Google hasn't approved

Not every Android Auto app is available on Google Play. Here's how you can install unapproved apps without needing root access!

I am still researching other screen mirroring options.

anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the car system supports or allows playing videos, for legal reasons.

I can watch DVD vids on my ‘12 Genesis while parked. You just need an older car and a CD/DVD player.

Yea it is officially not supported. However I have gotten it to work with Android Auto and an app called AAAD.

Google AAAD. It allows you to download third part Android Auto apps and have them work without requiring root (special permissions).

The free version lets you download once a month, however you can pay something like 3GBP for unlimited downloads. The specific app that you want from AAAD is Fermata Auto, which lets you play any video files on your phone to your car screen.

It also has cool apps like Carstream, which lets you play Youtube, and some screen mirroring apps (which don't work well for me). No matter what, Netflix will not play on the screen. I believe it's an internal Netflix code that prevents it from being streamed to any device.

You will need an android device for this. Not sure if there is an equivalent for iOS.

If you have a jailbroken iOS phone you can use Carbridge. It's 10 bucks but appears to work. There are many YT videos out there about installing a free version of Carbridge without requiring a jailbreak. They are complete SCAMS.

CarBridge - Open any app in CarPlay | Official Website

There is also a free app, Carplayenable, but again requires a jailbroken phone: CarPlayEnable - Run any app on Apple CarPlay (YouTube, VLC, etc)

Confirmed that this works on my end. Thank you! Dennis
