After market stereo that can stream Netflix? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Unsterblich · 06-29-2017, 01:37 PM

I am looking for a new stereo for my 2012 RS convertible. I heard there's a newer style stereo that can utilize your phone's mobile hotspot and stream video apps such as Netflix. I'm having difficulty finding the stereo though. Does anyone know what stereos can do that? Thanks.

Yeah watching netflix while you drive would be much safer than say texting while drive, nothing distracting about that, geeeessseee.

Any android head unit that can install apps would do it

Hey,...bdd8401,......if you're not helping with the question, keep your stupid comments to yourself. Last time I checked,.....the camaro can fit more than just one person in the car. Perhaps Netflix would be for them. Further more,.....I spend a lot of time in the car where I'm just sitting in it waiting to pick someone up. So I could use it while I'm waiting. Not that you deserve any explanations,.......but does this help shut you up!? Geeeessseee!

There isn't anything you can say or type that will guarantee that you won't ever look over at a running video while you're driving. Nothing.

Better planning and/or other changes in peoples' routines might cut your sitting-there-waiting time down.

That's why OEM screen's are only viewable from the backseats.

I installed a new touchscreen stereo into my truck with bluetooth that is a planet audio and I believe it has that capability. There are several price point and manufacturers available with options like that.

I have not activated any video options on mine as I don't like driving distracted either.

The problem with aftermarket stuff is that it never functions well with the car's oem stuff or looks properly in your car.

Why not just watch Netflix on a smartphone ? would be a lot cheaper than getting a aftermarket system. Plus it wouldn't be illegal.
