I will be a passenger in the car on a long road trip and need to use my computer. Will this work?

The only way I think that will work is if you leave off legs and use flat surface. There is nothing underneath the top to stabilize on your lap. The laptop might slide back and forth on the top as there is no guides on sides to keep on to the surface. It works best to transport from hotel to hotel or place to stop during your trip and use.

You'd be better off getting a lap desk if you're going to be in a car. I don't see this being all that useable (or user friendly) in a car. Sure, you can adjust the legs for height, but that doesn't account for the space you'd need to accommodate the legs & orientate yourself to use it comfortably.

As far as I understand it as long as your vehicle has OBDII then the device will be able to communicate with your cars computer. I believe the question of compatibility comes more into play when you are talking about the software that you are using being able to communicate with the provided protocols. I personally use Dash Commander on my iPhone and it works great. Oh there is a bit of weirdness in setting up the original connection at least there was for me and if you see my actual product review I believe I went over what I had to do. Outside of that i use a default 30 second Auto Reconnect, my OBDII interface type is ELM and I have it set to Auto Detect the data port. Works great!

Hi. I don't drive but assume that it is different tech so should be ok. If it does not work. Item is fabulous for house keys.

To get this to work you will need a internet connection. This device plugs from a ethernet cable/rj45 to give you wifi. I bought this product so I can create my own hotspot at a hotel when wifi might cost money but in room ethernet is free or wifi is spoty. This device can make a non wifi device use wifi. I am unsure of your setup on your truck. It should work at hotels/motels and some truckstops.

Yes, it will. But its low quality and unstable. So i'm not using it when i'm on the road.

As Long as Your Computer has USB And Is Connected to the Internet, Either by LAN Or Wi-fi, It will work.

Yep, that is it. It merely transmits data from your cars computer to the app. The app has the real power (which in it's current state is limited)

Have only used this with a Smart Car and it works, no experience with a computer.

I used it with a pc. So, I have no idea. I hope it works for you. I really liked this as did the children in my class. We made it all the way to Ft. Vancouver.

If your car has an usb slot, and you correctly install your car files & download your music onto that file it should work. But just downloading music and plugging the drive in your car wouldn't do anything

Should work. Just make sure you have an mSATA slot available to put it in your computer.

You are probably connected to your laptop or other "Mass Storage" device. Simply install unit in your vehicle with 12 volt plug and you will be fine.

I agree with Allen, this is a USB plug and play device, as long as you have a USB port on your computer it will work

Never tried it with a laptop... I used it for narrating tours... So cheap wouldn't hurt to try!

Call the airline and ask them. You can take as cushion, whetehr or not you'd be bale to use the car adapter feature on a plane, I don't know.

Yes this will work perfectly with your current situation as long as your computer is running one of the supported Operating Systems.
