do you think this would work on the dvd player screen in the car? looking for something to entertain my 2 and 4 yo on a long trip. Thanks!

Yes it would work on that type of screen. However the system is pretty lame and boring. I wouldn't count on using it as your only type of entertainment on a long trip, especially for kids that age.

Yes, if that dvd player takes power from its cigarette lighter plug or usb (which is unlikely).Basically this device is a fancy usb adapter for car cigarette lighter with splitter for the cig. lighter.

Yes, BUT ... Car players are built to damp out the car's bouncing, but aren't perfect. If the laser carriage ever bounces up and hits the underside of the disc, your CD will probably be ruined. It's always a good idea to make a backup disc to leave at home. This is even more important for original commercial discs. The same goes for movies on DVD; if you have a DVD player in your car, try to always use a home-burned copy rather than the purchased original disc.

HelloI purchased the kit for my brother who wants to eventually have his license and own his own shop. He did have problems getting the DVD to work at first but It did eventually work on the DVD player. It wasn't the best quality kinda hard to hear and had a home video quality. The demonstration had already started when the video started. Sorry your video didn't work but you didn't miss much.

This was purchased as a gift for my infant grandson. I asked his mother your question. Here is her response: "Yes you just have to point it at the top of the dvd player/headrest. And it works perfectly".

Yes, the DVD player can still play over the car speakers with this installed. Of course, it's better to have the passengers wear IR headphones while the driver streams music to the front speakers, which also works. Basically anything you can do with the satellite or RSE sources you can do with the added USB/BT/AUX sources.

My player is in the car and not with me; however, to stop it from playing, just turn it off. I will keep your question open and get back to you if there is another answer.

Yes, your DVD will work fine... though limited in its connections, it is still a great buy. I listed all the info in my review. Nothing new that is not covered there already by myself and the others. The best manner to connect the DVD will be with an HDMI wire ($5 -$10) if the DVD player has such an input. If not perhaps a component video wire ( RED, GREEN, BLUE ) combined with RCA wire for the audio.

yes I think that would work. I have the screen on my dash board and I have the camera on the back of my travel trailer so that I can see behind. The screen should work over the mirror. I don't know what kind of vehicle you intend to mount it on but the picture quality is affected by distance and metal objects. It is best to have line of sight from the transmitter. I had to move the transmitter from the back of the trailer- 30+ feet away and place it in a cupboard behind a fiberglass cap on the front of the trailer- a distance of about 20 feet. Much farther and with more objects in between will degrade the image and it may not be as useful.

I haven't used it in the car. but it should work fine. The only concern I would have there is stability. The box it came in works pretty good as far as a surface goes. But i think you would take something with you in the car to play it on. And I'm not sure the battery would last a very long road trip. The cable is 2 or 3 feet long. It's a cool little speaker, but not sure about the use of it in the car. :)

Yes, as a DRIVER for playing a CD it works great...the only issue I have with it is I thought that it would include some built in software that would enable me to copy my Windows Movie Videos I made on Windows 8, and copy them to a CD using this item, and voila, I could play it in a DVD. Shows what I get for thinking. I have to find some kind of software that will convert it from WMV Movie Maker Project to AVI or MP4, something like that. Easier said than done. If you know what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Other people said this was a cheap item, but I didn't see it that way at all. The cord is a little short, so if your tower sits to the side of your computer, you may have to put it up on a couple of books, or a small box to get the height up tall enough to reach your port. Mine are on the front. Good Luck and Merry Christmas

Yes, I used it to link a DVD player with a second screen in my car. Both audio and video worked on the second screen.

i was trying the same thing for my older big screen tv. i had hoped that this would do just that, or via the component inputs, but no it would not work on either. a cheap try. i found something else though for about 15 bucks and it worked, although detail suffers.....hard to read but ok for movies if you dont mind low resolution. there are other versions a bit more expensive that may work better.

We have "Sylvania SDVD7027 7-Inch Portable DVD Player with Car Bag/Kit, Swivel Screen, USB/SD Card Reader (Purple)And it works perfectly for it. I imagine it will be the same with the model you referenced.

It adjusts to size, however, the piece that holds the dvd player is on a swivel and it is difficult to keep the screen right side up. Also, if you have car seats in the back it will not work because the screen is too low.

technically yes, but the 2nd screen is only a monitor. So if you mean, can you watch two dvds in two separate cars. Not without buying a dvd player for the 2nd screen.

Hi Andrew...I use the case mostly for transporting my dvd player, and take the player out of case when using. This case also has the ability to mount on the back of a car seat or to suspend in-between two front car seats, being able to view movies this way from back seat of car. I don't use it for this purpose, though would think that when using it this way, using a swivel-screen dvd player would be limited, being it would be "mounted" and strapped on inside of case. Still, being I take my dvd player with me out and about often, I find this to be a good investment to protect my dvd player in transit, with it's hard shell casing.Hope this helps.
