I honestly wouldn't. It would take a lot of the battery from the car. And/or not get enough to run the system properly which I'll cause shortages soon after or start to run hot because it's pushing itself harder. To go on the safe route go to a truck stop and get a car port that is a wall adapter. I would think you would be ok for the simple fact that it's a portable gaming device but at the same time. If I was meant for a car it would of came with a car charger. Good luck

I think you might be able to use a car charger with it, as there's a DC input slot. I haven't tried that, though, so I'm not sure.

I don't see why not. Most if not all car dvd players use IR to transmit sound. I have not heard of any using BT yet (which would be awsome!). This like many others on Amazon use a dual channel IR signal so that you can switch between 2 dvd units. If you have one, it will still work. Just find the channel (A/B) that the unit transmits on. On a side note, I found the overall quality of these units to be not so good. I had 2 units out of the 4 that had issues with sound only playing out of one ear. Just something to consider.

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.

Agree with previous response, yes it does turn off, I think its a design flaw, hopefully they will make newer version which will have some battery backup to cover moments like starting the car. But it does restart where it was, I did not have to do anything, not so for game DVDs, but movies yes.

Yes it comes with a car charger.. And a wall charger.. And a seperate cord that goes from one player to the other so u can charge the two at the same time. Built in batteries for on the go. Easy set up.

I have had these for two years, and it is my experience that when you turn the car on, after turning it off during a movie, *after a certain point* on your disk, it plays from that point. (about 5 mins into the movie, past the previews?) BUT, if you open the disk unit, it will always reset.

I've been able to charge on a car charger via USB. I found the charge to happen fairly quickly and am happy with it. It charges better than I would expect (though my last phone would die even when on USB so my standards are low)

just like your cell phone. I personally like to use the port on my DVD player to charge it so it's with other audio stuff and I don't forget about it. I leave the USB in the port silk always and presto !!! It's set up to plug in.

Yes, but I'm finding that IPod is still the only player that has an FM transmitter that also allows you to charge your player while in the car. I'm bummed by this and hope Toshiba will provide their own FM transmitter and charger.

Thanks for the response but that's ok. I already got an ac adaptor for the dvd. I needed it. So, thanks.

You need to have a flip and swivel type of portable DVD player. I use my car headrest all the time, especially on trips. I love it. Hope this helps?

The dvd player will not play while the car is in drive because of safety purposes and as per the law. The dvd player will play while the car is in park but the parking brake must be engauged. There is also a way to overide the dvd player to while the car is in drive. You must ground the parking brake wire on the cd player. Just remember safety first.

No. There is not a car charger included for use in the car. This is a very basic player.

Just to clarify the answers you've received: If you're asking if you can stick a DVD in the player itself, and then play it using your attached smartphone as a display, the answer is no. The disc playing mechanism is a CD player, not a DVD. However, you can take that DVD and, using a software package like Handbrake on a computer, encode the video to a file that you can upload to your phone. Once there, you can indeed play the video on the phone's screen in the car, and the sound will play over your car's speakers.

No, not according to the manufacturing instructions, which say, "The battery can be only recharged when turning power to OFF state, and keep continuous power supply, the red light will be on, and the light will turn yellow when it's fully charged." (Yes, it sounds like someone who learned English as a second language translated the instructions from Japanese.) I can confirm that the red charging light turns off when you turn the unit's ON/OFF switch to the ON position, so I suspect that the instructions are correct and Mariana R and Lisa are wrong. It would be rare, indeed, for a product to work better than the manufacturer says it works. I bought this player, ironically, because Mariana and Lisa said that it charges while playing a DVD, since my last one didn't and I often found it dying in the middle of something I was watching. I'm not too disappointed to find that Mariana R and Lisa are apparently mistaken, since the last one, and indeed every other one I checked on Amazon.com, has the same limitation, and because this one has gotten an average of 4 stars from more than 140 users.
