Question Netflix on front screen?

Hi guys,
I've unlocked the video while driving option and now I can see DTV and DVD while driving but my idea is to have Netflix. The idea is something like a chromecast or a apple tv installed somewhere in the glove box or anywhere else that allows me to have the full suite on the central front display.
Anyone knows how to have it? I do not need carplay because it is included in the car, only the entertainment suite.
Many thanks!
Sandro

I have a standard function on my 2021 A8 called watch where I am going while I am driving. I didn't fancy a Tesla.

Yeah you are absolutely right but when doing 600/700km with family inside, having a couple of hours in which the wife looks at tv and do not talk could be a very interesting solution to ear pollution! :-)

Perhaps use the internet connection and have your family watch netflix on their individual devices or ipads?

I have something called Carlinkit. Can find it on Aliexpress or probably on Amazon/Ebay for more money but receive it quicker. Plugs into the USB port and takes over your screen as an Android tablet.

I got this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...yAdapt=glo2usa there is a video of how it works on the ad. You can probably find it for a little cheaper if you search around the site. As for how you mage it from the MMI, it automatically starts when you start your car. You have to add your phone to Carlinkit as you won't be able to use both through the MMI.

Just purchased same item. Hope it works fine!

Thanks for the tip.
