<\/p>\n
A Mercedes driver claims there\u2019s a $50 gadget that lets you stream Netflix and drive at the same time.<\/p>\n
Safety should always come first, of course. However, TikTok user Chase (@chase.finds) said a cheap device he picked up online lets him binge his favorite shows while behind the wheel.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody was going to tell me that we can watch Netflix in our cars now?\u201d he asks in a recent video, calling it something he\u2019s \u201cdreamt of\u201d since getting his license.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always wanted to be able to watch YouTube videos [and] Netflix, all while driving,\u201d he adds. \u201cI don\u2019t know why it took till 2025 to be able to get this.\u201d<\/p>\n
By \u201cthis,\u201d he\u2019s referring to an AutoSky device he says he snagged on TikTok.<\/p>\n

There are several AutoSky devices on the market, so it\u2019s unclear which model Chase has. Prices vary, too\u2014some go for as little as $30 on Amazon, while others sell for up to $75 or more on AutoSky\u2019s official site.<\/p>\n
In general, AutoSky\u2019s wireless CarPlay adapters convert a car\u2019s wired Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connection into a wireless one. This lets drivers<\/a> make calls, play music, and stream TV without plugging their phones into the USB port.<\/p>\n These devices work much the way Chase describes. To use one, you plug the adapter into your car\u2019s USB port, pair it with your phone via Bluetooth<\/a>, and from then on, it connects automatically through Wi-Fi whenever you start your car.<\/p>\n According to AutoSky, its \u201cAI Box Lite\u201d version transforms a wired CarPlay system into a wireless hub, enabling both CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube. It\u2019s purportedly fully plug-and-play and doesn\u2019t require any rewiring or disassembly of the stereo.<\/p>\n Once it\u2019s set up, Chase says, \u201cyou\u2019re off and streaming.\u201d Still, probably best not to fire up Netflix on the interstate.<\/p>\n Watching anything while driving\u2014whether it\u2019s video, maps, or apps\u2014is a distraction. <\/p>\n CarPlay is, of course, designed to be a hands-free tool, but even glancing at the screen too long can slow your reaction time and put you (and everyone else) at risk.<\/p>\n \u2018Enjoy That Day Off:’ Man Asks People to Photoshop a Video to Look Like He Crashed His Car to Skip Work. The Internet Complies<\/a> This behavior isn\u2019t just dangerous, it\u2019s deadly.<\/p>\n According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a>, distracted driving killed 3,275 people in 2023 alone.<\/p>\n In his video, Chase made the perks of owning an AutoSky device clear: It\u2019s hands-free and lets drivers stay entertained behind the wheel.<\/p>\n He also claimed that buying one through TikTok is a steal, arguing that similar in-car entertainment systems can cost thousands.<\/p>\n He\u2019s not entirely wrong.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s not a perfect comparison, Best Buy lists some car TV systems for thousands of dollars. One of its priciest options\u2014a black Alpine 7\u201d Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Bluetooth Digital Media Receiver\u2014retails for $1,500.<\/p>\n So Chase may have actually scored a deal, which he seemed genuinely thrilled about.<\/p>\n One person who commented on his video was impressed. \u201cWow this is cool,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n But while these gadgets might be flashy, it\u2019s still important to follow basic road safety. If you buy an AutoSky or similar device, use it with caution\u2014as in while parked.<\/p>\n Motor1<\/em> has reached out to Chase via TikTok comment.
