You'll need an AC power inverter to plug in the PS2. They're pretty cheap, but watch out as they can get hot.

you dont need a converter, you can just hardwire it, search google, theres lots of info on this.

I bought an LCD screen from wal-mart a year ago, it's a 5inch screen that will connect right to a PS or it has RCA plugs for a video feed.


It came with a plug-in for your cig lighter.

The resolution on the screen is really good and you can read the writing on Gran turismo really easily.

Unfortunatly the amount of times i can use this is very little so it just gets rented out by my friends or serves a the TV when we go camping.

I paid 150 for the screen and 40 for the PS a year ago.

Hope that helps.

You will need an FM modulator in the case that you don't have an AUX in on your head unit. FM modulators are about 5-10$ on e-bay or around 30$ at Futureshop.
