  • QuestionCan you use this in your car now that all new cars don't come with a cd player?

    Asked by Camy.

    • Answer Check the specifications for your car stereo to ensure that it can recognize the FAT32 disc file format. FAT32 is the most universally recognized file system for car stereos. Most head units require USB flash drives to be formatted in either FAT16 or FAT32 in order to read and play audio files (such as MP3, AAC, or FLAC), and the TV Connectivity function for the 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # SP80NB80, converts the disc file system to FAT32 so it can be recognized as USB flash memory...^Ivan.

  • Questiondoes it play CD's in a car thru the stereo

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The LG Slim Portable DVD Writer DVD Disc Playback & DVD M-DISC™ Support, Model # SP80NB80 has a TV connectivity function that allows the drive to be detected as an external storage device (like a USB drive) when connected to a car stereo. However, not all car stereos detect external drives. Support depends entirely on your specific stereo's hardware capabilities, its software compatibility. This drive is defaulted to ODD mode when it is powered on. To use the TV Connectivity function, with the tray open, press and hold the ‘Eject’ button for 2 seconds. (The LED indicator will turn on, switching to TV mode. Press and hold the button again for 2 seconds with the tray open to return to ODD mode). 2. Insert your supported media into the drive. The disc file system will be converted to FAT32 and will be recognized as USB flash memory. 3. Select and play the files from your A/V device to enjoy music. Refer to your car stereo's owner’s manual for more information, or contact the dealer...^Ivan.
