MyCarMovie uses the Adobe Flash video player. We recommend installing the latest version of it.

Here you can download the Adobe Flash video player:

If downloading or using the current Flash Player is not possible, please follow these instructions:
  1. Deactivate your pop-up blocker to carry out the installation.
  2. If your firewall is active, please add MYCARMOVIE.COM to the list of permitted websites.
  3. Please find out if other software, like QuickTime, iTunes, Real Player or Windows Media Player, is set as the standard streaming application. Such software could impair the running stability of Adobe Flash Player.
If the movie is not played without an interruption then your internet connection could be the cause. For achieving the best results your internet connection should have a download rate with a bandwidth of at least 300 kb/s. Sorry, but here we cannot help as this is a problem of your internet connection.
