Thanks to modern innovation, you can do a lot while driving around: listen to music, watch TV, see your favorite movie. Better yet, find a gaming system that can be connected to your in-car TV system.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet access
• Computer

1. Gather information about the in-car entertainment system. Get to know all types of monitors (headrest, sun visor, in-dash, etc.) for your in-car TV. This will help you choose the perfect audio-video system for your LCD screen.

2. Search the Internet for product lists and the brand names of gaming consoles. Not all products are available as portable units; some may also be permanently installed in your car.

3. Visit the Web sites of the in-car gaming console brands. Gather as much information as you can on the product. Consider the features as well as their benefits and disadvantages.

4. Get a feel for the market. Join forums and online discussions to better evaluate the product or brand.

5. Focus on what you really need. Try to establish your own standards for quality and ease of use, with a specific price range in mind.

6. Check the manual or product description for specifications. The gaming system may require an adapter to connect easily with an in-car TV or may need a dependable life source through your car's electrical system, a battery or a power converter. Also, make sure installation is convenient and hassle-free.

Tips & Warnings

• Multizone switching is available for other in-car entertainment systems with multiple plugs for headphones and audio inputs.
• Be a wise shopper. Look for in-car gaming systems with antiskip protections, long-term warranties and reliable technical support.
