Some car DVD players come with remotes.

Including DVD players in automobiles is becoming standard on many new vehicles, especially minivans and SUVs often bought by families with small children. DVD and TV combinations in these cars are not meant for the driver to watch because of the enormous distraction it would be. So the screens for these DVD players often are placed so that only passengers in the rear can see them. In some states installing a TV in the front of the car is illegal. As such, playing a DVD while driving is just a matter of operating the player even though the driver will not see the screen.

It is best to let someone else control the DVD. DVD options such as volume, start and next chapter may also be controlled by the radio.
