Streaming from phone to screen?

[LTDXLT]

Does anyone know if there's a way to streaming videos/movies from your phone to the 12" screen? Back in the day i was able to procure an aftermarket pop-out screen that would only play movies if the car was parked. I took it to a car audio place and they were able to disable this feature, allowing you to watch movies as you drove. Are you able to do something like this with the new Fords?

I have seen people do it with "jailbroken" Iphones.

I hope not.

No, this is a massive safety hazard for distraction during driving.

Even if you say it's for your passengers and you're not going to be the one watching, you're going to be distracted and tempted to glance over and sneak a peak to see what's going on.

Get an iPad and let your passenger watch that. There's a reason DOT and manufacturers don't let you do dumb shit like this.

Mini vans are for rule followers.

The T Box from https://carlinkitcarplay.com/ is basically an android tablet without a screen. Your truck screen becomes the tablet screen. I’m able to do YouTube TV or anything a tablet can do. Unfortunately it doesn’t give you the FULL screen.

Going down this same line of questioning myself.

Looks to me like the company making this needs to reprogram the parameters of their working code to use up the entire screen just like the navigation system does. I’m sure there are ways to bypass using the right tools.

I wish they could. It’s limited to what Ford gives us for CarPlay.
