Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
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.
Step2
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.
Step3
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.
Step4
Get a feel for the market. Join forums and online discussions to better evaluate the product or brand.
Step5
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.
Step6
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.
