Q: Has anyone out there found a working usb extension that will work with this unit? Problem is if you try to buy longer USB cords not made by RCA, they don't work, just wondering if anyone has found a solution that works. RCA support is useless. Thanks!
A: I'll answer my own question and I hope this helps everyone else having this issue. Go to the big blue store that starts with a W. In the electronics section look for the 6ft USB extension cable made by ONN, item number is 068113122858, it was about $7, it works! I had purchased a 10ft USB cable that was compatible with 3.0, 2.0, and 1.0 and it did not work. So go with the ONN for a definite win. Also, if you have an AUX jack on your car radio and want to play sound through your car speakers, purchase any AUX cable, since I was at the store, I purchased one by ONN, it was about $6. We played movies both through the speakers in the car and when we didn't want it so loud, we played the sound through the individual players. You could also use headphones.
submitted byMB - 6 years agoA: Hi, MB! Regarding your question about the RCA Dual Screen 9" Mobile DVD Player - Black (DRC79981E): The USB cable included with this DVD player is a proprietary USB cable designed by RCA. A standard USB A-to-A cable will not work because the pins on each side have been altered to prevent regular USB A-to-A cables to be used as replacements. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact MyTGTtech at 877-698-4883 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.
