Not well-versed in the use of WiFi. I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and we have wireless capability at home. Can this be used in a vehicle while companion is driving? Thanks for any help.

I do not think that it will, as it does need a connection from an existing router.

I do not believe so. It requires a modum attached to the router in order to get the signal. I suspect as you travel you can find businesses that have wifi networks you can access, but probably not on the road. Best bet with the Kindle is load it before you go and gets lots of reading or movies download before your trip.

The answer remain the same, "No". But there is one incorrect reply "modum attached to the router in order to get the signal". This device can be used to bridge from a wireless network to a wired device. Example, this device can bridge between McD's open wireless network to a wired-only laptop.

No this product won't work in the car unless you have a device that give wifi. This product will work in a hotel or a restaurant to reach wifi off of.

Well; it has wifi, but the wifi is a private network, and the application to view the files with wifi is right now as I understand specific to iPhone. Henc yet it would be able to connect, but the application is only available through the iPhone so the Kindle Fire would not work. The device is still good though... we like it and would buy again if required.

What about using a wireless transmitter, if you don't have an AUX jack in the car?

No, works with your regular wifi. and as far as what we will do it will do whatever an Android phone would do without being a phone. I bought it over a year ago for my wife and she uses it everyday to play games watch videos surf the net. in my opinion a great value for the money. it would work as an e reader if she used one but she doesn't. not as good as a Kindle Fire in most respects however has the capability of taking a 32 meg card.

This device will work if you have wifi on your kindle tablet. I don't have my home computer set up and its been in the closet for about 5 years now lol. So this device will work to a laptop,tablet, or phone that has wifi. So check to see if your kindle has wifi,but it should considering that all tablets should have wifi or how are you going to connect to the internet? Lol I hope this helps you if you have any more questions just ask. ***Susan***

This product requires an electrical outlet. So if your vehicle has a standard plug like the one in your house then you can plug in and use in your car. I wouldnt reccommend using this while driving. But as a passenger, sure!

i have a wifi only ipad, i use bad elf to navigate in city but i bought it to navigate off road using forest road maps. i cant remember if i link it to my iphone for the wifi or not to use apple maps, i dont know if you need wifi for apple maps to work, or if it will work off the bad elf gps only. sorry, i would assume u need the wifi for map loading or use per-downloading maps or link to your phone for the wifi, but it works great for off roading with pre-downloaded road maps

You can't have any thing near or in your vehicle that has a bluetooth function active. It causes interference that affects the wireless signal from the camera and the monitor. I had to return mine due to that problem.

Only if Kindle has an App for it. It creates a wifi hotspot and, on an iOS device like my iPad, there is a free App that will connect to that hotspot and allow me to access the data on it and stream movies or music from its storage. If the Kindle HD has something similar (and I don't know since I don't have one) then it will work but otherwise the answer would be no.

It is illegal in some states to use a cell phone while driving even when on a handsfree device. People still do it. What about the people not driving, is it ok for them to use a cell phone? Some folks do watch movies, or text while driving which is all bad, but I think it's ok if you're not at the wheel. Does anyone agree?

I use the USB cable to connect in my car. That's what I bought it for. I have a much older model and wanted one with more storage for my music. I listen to the music in the car on my way to and from work. I just checked my Nano and it has bluetooth capability but not Wifi. Hope this helps.

Yes! The wifi is setup as " local link" only, so is ONLY used for airplay. Your 3G connection is still used for Internet, so for example you can stream Pandora (via 3G) on your phone while sending it to airplay (via Wifi) while in your car. It's wonderful!

I had a portable hotspot for the wifi, but if you turn on connection sharing on your phone it will work as a hotspot even if you phone is connected to the stereo (cable or bluetooth). Keep in mind this will use up your data plan.

Yes, it is essentially wireless. smart-phones, mp3 players...whatever the source .., if it can be used at home, then a car makes no difference.

From my own experience, I would answer with a 'yes'. The low power setting might make that trip, but I would estimate that if the unit was set to the 'higher power' output it would meet your desires. My transmitter is located in my basement and I am able to still receive it in my vehicle as I am driving away and from a distance of just less than 1/4 mile. The vehicle I am in also is a factor because some have better radio systems than others. I like to use 'work tunes' with the radio built in when I am mowing my acreage, and that works for me just fine. Best wishes!

I think if you get the hd radio adapter it'll be able to accommodate for traffic, but I never encountered a need for it to do so. I do know that if you sit or go very slow like in a traffic jam or construction it'll give you an alternate route to get around it on it's own
