FAQs
Can you drive and play?
No. Why do you need to drive and play? This is just for entertainment purposes when your car is in the parking mode.
How to play games in EV cars?
Even without the help of a Carlinkit AI box, it is 100% for EVs. Games and videos on an EV (especially when you have younger kids) is pretty damn useful while charging.
Is it good to play games, watch YouTube, and stream Netflix in the car?
It's not perfect. But it's perfect when waiting in the queue for the car wash.
Can we watch YouTube in the car?
Just by installing Fermata Auto via the AAHacks app, you can watch YouTube in the car with the new android auto update. Since then, it doesn't work anymore.
Video streaming apps will also be supported similarly. But only while parked.
