How to Connect DVD Player to Car Speakers?

There are many reasons why you might want to connect your DVD player to your car speakers. Maybe you want to listen to the latest album from your favorite artist while driving. Or maybe you just like watching movies in the car because it makes for a great distraction on long trips. Whatever the reason, connecting these two devices is not as difficult as you may think!

We’ve outlined some tips that will help make the process easier. However, before you get started, there are a few things you will need. These include speakers that are compatible with your system’s auxiliary input. Depending on how new they are, you can usually find this information on the back of each speaker or in their user manual. If you have older speakers without an auxiliary input, don’t worry. You can still connect your speakers.

Materials Needed

Next, you’ll need tools like cassette tape adapters, wire cutters, and a stripper. You may need to purchase a few accessories, such as RCA cables or an FM transmitter. The type of speakers you have will determine the types of cables that are needed for this process.

Steps to Connecting DVD Player to Car Speakers

Once you have all these items, you can now follow the steps outlined below.

1) Make sure both devices have RCA cables already attached- most DVD players and newer cars come with them installed by default. If not, buy one separately at any electronics store for around $5-$10.

2) Attach one end of each cable into the appropriate input of both devices. The color-coded cables should match up, so if the DVD player has red and white RCA inputs (red for right audio channel and white for left), you would want to attach the other ends of these respective cables into their corresponding slots in your car’s stereo system.

You also need to ensure:

1. Connected Cable – RCA cables that match the input colors of both devices.

RCA Inputs on the DVD player and car stereo system – This step may vary depending on your model/brand of equipment. Steps will be different for each one, but in most cases, you simply connect the corresponding color-coded cables to the correct inputs on both devices.
