How do I add a playlist?
On Home, tap +, choose M3U / M3U8, paste your playlist URL and load it. LA Car does not provide channels. There is no separate Xtream username/password sign-in flow; if your provider gives you a compatible M3U URL, add that URL.

Can I use Jellyfin, Emby or local videos?
Yes. Add your own Jellyfin or Emby server using its address and your login. Browse to a folder and add its playable videos. For local files, choose Local videos and select your videos from Files. Imported files are copied into the app’s storage.

A video won’t play. What should I check?
Check the source URL, your connection and the file format. A playlist can contain links that no longer work. HLS and standard MP4 are useful formats to try; support for other codecs depends on the device. A failed stream does not necessarily mean the app or your account is broken.

What is the current CarPlay sharing status?
The CarPlay experience is in development. A CarPlay entitlement and a supported vehicle connection are needed before it can be confirmed on a real display. Approval alone does not guarantee every sharing mode. The app shows capture and car-display status separately.

Does Stop display also stop screen capture?
No. Stopping the car display and ending the iOS screen broadcast are separate actions. To end capture, use the iOS broadcast control and choose Stop Broadcast.

Will Netflix or every app appear on the car screen?
There is no confirmed Netflix playback feature in LA Car. Protected video may be omitted from screen capture. Netflix does not support AirPlay on iPhone; its own supported output options depend on the device. Read Netflix’s connection guidance.

Can LA Car hide the CarPlay sidebar?
The app’s own browsing interface and the CarPlay system controls are separate. We are working on a cleaner full-screen view, but removal of the system sidebar has not been confirmed. Portrait content is fitted without stretching or cropping, so empty space can remain at the sides.

How do I restore Pro?
Open Settings → Restore purchases or use the restore action on the Pro panel while signed into the same store account. The store checks whether you have a current purchase. An expired subscription does not restore active access. Manage subscriptions in your Apple or Google account.

Does LA Car upload my library?
Your source list, favorites and preferences are stored on your device. Playback contacts the sources and artwork addresses in your library, and purchases contact Apple or Google. LA Car does not require its own account or include an analytics SDK. See the privacy policy for screen broadcast and support email details.
