Brave Browser on CarPlay: Stream YouTube in 2025 (No Jailbreak)
Brave Browser for iOS isn’t just another privacy-first web browser — it’s one of the few apps that seamlessly integrates with CarPlay. Once installed, simply open Brave on your CarPlay dashboard to stream your favorite YouTube content directly through your car’s audio system.
While video playback is restricted for safety, Brave lets you enjoy YouTube in audio-only mode, turning your drive into a private, distraction-free listening experience. Whether it’s podcasts, music, or your go-to creators, Brave ensures you stay entertained on the road without compromising privacy. Plus, no jailbreaking required!
Brave Browser for CarPlay keeps things simple with two straightforward features. First, you can easily access and play your saved playlists directly from your iPhone through the CarPlay interface.
Second, the Settings page lets you customize your playback experience — choose whether selecting an already playing item restarts it or continues from where you left off.
While the options are minimal, they’re designed to make your driving experience smoother and more personalized, all while maintaining Brave’s signature focus on privacy and simplicity.
