Hey guys. I have a Phoenix Digital Mobile DVD player that has the cigarette lighter 12Volt input. It also has a 12volt output that I assume is for the video.

My question is, does anyone foresee a problem with splitting this 12Volt output between the monitor and the wireless FM modulator? The FM modulator can use 12Volt or batteries. I'd rather use the hardwired power of course.

Any help would be hot.

I would check the fuse size on the output wire. If it is one amp I wouldnt use it. But if it was 3 or a 5 amp fuse you should be fine.
