MAKE a CD player

Step 4 Other stuff you can do

CD rom drives run on 5 and 12 volts.
It should be easy to make this work in a car with the cig lighter plug,
you just need 5 and 12 volt regulators. USE A FUSE!
(7805's go up to 1A current, I'd recommend more, if I find the part number it's _______.)
I haven't tried it in a car, do at your own risk.

...

You can do just about anything you want with CDs played in this without worrying about getting a virus.
This won't spy on you and tell anyone what you are listening to.

That is a voltage regulator :)

I'm not experienced enough to say for sure, but i think it's a voltage regulator :)

7805 voltage regulator. +5 volts. Going by the picture above, hook positive voltage (7 to 25 volts) to the left pin, ground the middle pin, and get +5 from the right pin.
