This is correct ^^^^^^
For those wondering. Its not a DVD player. Its a DVR (Digital Video Recorder)
Its a car black box. A camera that records the road as you drive. If you get into an accident, you have footage for the court room instead of playing the "You hit me, I didn't hit you" game.
Basically the thing runs on 5V (but plugs into 12V obviously), has a little LCD screen and records. If I forget to unplug it when I exit my car, it will never shut off thus draining the battery.
