Feature Request: Apple CarPlay Video Support While Parked
With Apple adding support for AirPlay video in CarPlay on iOS 26 while the vehicle is parked, I would love to see Plex support this feature.
This would be extremely useful for:
-
EV charging stops
-
Waiting in parking lots
-
Road trips for passengers
-
Lunch breaks
The feature could automatically disable when the vehicle leaves Park to remain compliant with Apple safety requirements.
Many newer vehicles, including Ford SYNC 4 systems, now support parked video playback through native apps, and Plex would be an excellent addition to that ecosystem.
Even limited support for:
-
Plex Movies
-
TV Shows
-
Music Videos
-
Live TV
would be greatly appreciated.
Please consider adding official Apple CarPlay parked-video support to the Plex iOS app.
