Audi is adding YouTube to infotainment systems on some models.

A new app store developed by parent Volkswagen group software company Cariad and Harman, provides third party apps via the touch screen using a data link connected to a SIM in the vehicle.

Apps are installed directly into the infotainment with no need for a smartphone ‘intermediary’.

Apps include music, video streaming, gaming, navigation, parking and charging assistance, productivity, weather updates, and news.

The feature is launching now in Audi models with other VW group brands to follow.

Some 2024 model year Audis models with compatible hardware and software will also have YouTube access.
