Tips on connecting youtube via sync and iphone wifi hot spot?

[Thunderanger]

Hey Iphone users. We are about to head on a long trip from Missouri to Georgia. Needless to say we'll be stopping to charge multiple times.

So far I have been unable to view youtube via my iphone's wifi hotspot. Are there any secrets? Do I need to enable cell data for the wifi hotspot or something? I was able to watch youtube today via a free charging station wifi. That was great and helped kill plenty of time. It'd be great to be able to do that on the way to and from Georgia.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You have to disable CarPlay on your phone first to free up the WiFi radio.

Thanks sir. So disconnect carplay, then the car will see my wifi hotspot? Right?

Correct. If CarPlay is turned off, and you have the hotspot on your phone turned on, you should see that as an available WiFi network to connect the car to.

Perfect. Thank you SO much. We're going to need some entertainment.
