I recently got an older car that has TV screens installed, and I'm planning a road trip for Thanksgiving. I want my child to have some entertainment during the drive. Is there a way to download movies or shows from the streaming services we use and connect a device to the car that lets her watch them offline? I'm hoping to avoid using my mobile hotspot since there are areas we'll drive through with no signal.

If you're looking for a standalone device, there are options like the TBox Plus, which supports micro-SD cards. It can play downloaded content, but it might cost around $150. Meanwhile, basic cables to connect your phone usually cost about $25, which could simplify things if you've got your movies ready to go.
You can use a USB-C to HDMI cable to connect your phone to the car's screen and download movies for offline viewing. It might be cheaper than getting a separate streaming device. Plus, if you can find a way to use adapters for older screens, that could save some hassle too!
Check if the streaming services you use allow downloads for offline viewing. Just search for "[Service Name] offline viewing" to see if it’s an option. That way, you can get the content you want onto your device before the trip.
