Since Plex is not available on CarPlay, it would be nice if we could use Plex to sync content to an Iphone/ipod but then access the files though apple own music app which works with CarPlay. Just hate going back to itunes. Is this possible?

I also would like to see Plex integrate with CarPlay. Using the Sync allows me to download music to my phone to play on the Plex iOS app, but it means opening the app on my phone to switch CD’s, etc. Not a real big deal if I create a 100 song Plex Mix. Just wish Plex was integrated. I still use iTu…

If I’m not mistaken, on iOS the music synced by any app is kept in its own app container, separate from the music synced by iOS/iTunes itself. I.e., other apps (including Music) cannot access Plex-synced music.

That’s my experience of it, just desperately trying not to use Apple Music and can’t navigate any other Music App from the car. I don’t have CarPlay so that wouldn’t help, but I like the suggestion of syncing music back to Apple Music from Plex. If it’s iOS that keeps everything in separate folder…

Just vote for CarPlay Plex for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay You’re never going to be able to convince Apple to use the Music app to access other music files (the OS pretty much prevents it).
