Quick Question: Will my car run out of battery if I turn on ALL these (LCD, DVD, FM Mod.) WITHOUT starting the engine?
1. LCD and FM modulator getting the power fuse box,
2. DVD player is getting power from the cigar. lighter
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Eventually yes. If the DVD, LCD & FM modulator are all getting power then obviously it's also playing through the OEM deck which means that the speakers are also playing. The time it will drain the system will depend on how lod you are playing the system

It should last a while if the stereo isnt on too. If you want to be safe then just turn your car on every once in a while. Ive left my playstation on for about a week and the car never had a problem starting. But I do have an extra battery.
