How to Hook My Wii to the Car

Many higher end family vehicles come equipped with LCD television screens to entertain children sitting in the rear seats. These systems also have connections that allow you to plug in external entertainment devices, including the Nintendo Wii. The Wii is not intended as a portable system, but with a power adapter and a bit of experimentation in sensor bar placement, your kids can take their Wii games on the go.
