  • QuestionWill this play cd's when plugging into usb of the car?

    Asked by June.

    • Answer No. Those ports are typically for either a cell phone and CarPlay or for a USB Flash drive containing files in a suitable format. Using a drive like this in a car wouldn't be a good idea even if supported as the vibrations and bumps of driving would cause skips.

  • QuestionCan this be hooked up in a car? Anything beyond plugging into USB port?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer That depends... this LG drive requires 5v power to operate. The drive is set up for a USB connection that supplies that power. So, whether it works with your existing radio system depends on what it can supply this energy and deal with the recorded signals which may be digital.

  • QuestionDoes this work with newer Mac operating systems, like MacOS 13.3 (Ventura)?

    Asked by Michael.

    • Answer Hi there. We understand your inquiry regarding the compatibility of your LG External USB Double-Layer DVD Drive with macOS 13.3 (Ventura). We are pleased to inform you that this drive is designed to be plug-and-play and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7.5 and higher, which includes newer versions like macOS 13.3 Ventura. Since the drive is powered through the USB connection, we recommend connecting it directly to your Mac's USB port or using a powered USB hub to ensure it receives sufficient power to read and write discs properly. While the included CyberLink software is generally for Windows, your Mac will natively support the drive's basic functions like playing movies or burning data through the Finder and built-in apps. We want to ensure you have a smooth and reliable experience with your external drive on your HP laptop. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-8x-external-usb-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-drive-black/JXTZZLCVZK For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on [email protected]. —Renzo
