This Device Lets You Stream Movies And Shows Via Carplay – Here’s Why I Love It

Shop Magic Box

As a mom to three boys in elementary and middle school, I spend a lot of time in my car. Now that school’s back in session, you can find me pinging around anywhere from the local swimming pool to our school’s tennis courts and soccer games across the city on any given afternoon. And, I’m rarely alone – I often have at least one kid who’s learning to be ~flexible~ (i.e. arriving at an activity early to accommodate everyone’s schedule) in tow. Luckily, I’ve found the ultimate device for entertaining and rewarding him: The Magic Box 2.0. The Magic Brand’s latest release lets us stream TV and movies to my car’s screen via CarPlay, and it’s insanely cool. Here’s how it works – and why it’s been such a lifesaver for us.

Seamless Streaming in Your Car

The Magic Box 2.0 is a game-changer for in-car entertainment. It wirelessly integrates with your car's Apple CarPlay, giving you access to everything from YouTube to Netflix and Hulu. It’s lightning fast and really easy to use. The only downside? I’m slightly concerned about how much I’m enjoying Mr. Beast’s YouTube videos.

Quick and Easy Setup

I’m no tech wiz, so I mean it when I say that setting up The Magic Box 2.0 is super simple. My 10-year-old did help me set it up, but I swear I could’ve done it myself, too: connect the device to your car using a USB cable, scan the included QR code, and follow the on-screen instructions. The entire process took me 10 minutes. As long as you have an iPhone 5 or newer or an Android 6.0 or newer and Apple CarPlay, you should be all set!

Stream Anywhere, Anytime

When I was a kid, we used a definitely-not-safe bungee cord and literally tied a chunky TV box to our car’s center console. The Magic Box 2.0 is the 2023 equivalent – aka it’s much more functional and savvy. Our family has a ‘no TV while in transit’ rule for safety reasons, but when we’re sitting in a parking lot 30 minutes early to a game or waiting for sports practice to get out, it’s our go-to for in-car entertainment.

Magical Features Galore

If you’re a ‘features’ person, Magic Box 2.0 is seriously impressive. Its lightning-fast CPU ensures minimal lag when streaming, and you can customize your home screen and toolbar with your favorite apps. Safety is paramount, with a built-in heat dispersion plate that allows for hours of usage without overheating concerns. Plus, the device receives wireless software updates to keep it up-to-date without needing to purchase a new one. And if storage is a concern, the MicroSD card slot allows you to expand the already generous 64 GB of storage without a pricey subscription.
