With YouTube now part of Appning's best-in-class portfolio, carmakers can effortlessly onboard the world's largest video-sharing platform. This integration ensures users stay updated with the latest content, turning the car into an entertainment hub.

Appning's Apps Market continues to expand, now featuring over 200 apps across 32 car brands worldwide. Users can connect their YouTube accounts and stay synchronized across all devices, including their car. For safety, video playback is disabled while driving but fully accessible when parked.

"We are thrilled to partner with YouTube, marking a significant step in shaping the future of in-car entertainment," said Mona LEVACHER, Director of Appning by FORVIA. "Our vision is to bring top-tier apps into the automotive experience, ensuring an enjoyable and safe journey for all."

Since establishing the partnership a year ago, Appning by FORVIA has rigorously tested YouTube with leading carmakers, maintaining high quality and user-friendly experience. YouTube is freely accessible and easy to install in vehicles equipped with Appning Apps Market, eliminating the need for smartphone access.

Appning by FORVIA bridges the gap between OEMs and content service providers, working as a certification and integration partner for carmakers. It ensures apps are adapted to their look and feel and safety-verified in compliance with Android’s driver distraction restrictions. For app developers, Appning by FORVIA provides tools and testing environments to facilitate app integration into vehicles. In 2025, it aims to achieve over 20% market share of connected vehicles through its Apps Market, bringing additional revenue opportunities for carmakers and app developers.
