i have been reading mixed messages about this topic.
is it not possible to run youtube/equiv on the Idrive8? seems a bummer to not be able to utilize the screen.

Not natively through iDrive. Only through a phone connected through CarPlay or Android Auto.

For iOS: must be jailbroken on an iOS version compatible with CarBridge. I've used it successfully on jailbroken iOS 14 and 15.

For Android: I haven't tried, but CarStream/Fermata Auto through Android Auto Apps Downloader (AAAD).

EDIT: I tested CarStream on a Razr+ on Android 13 and it works fine for YouTube and Plex. However, the resolution is not as clear as CarPlay.
