I recently purchased a 7" Pyle tv for my car. I have the Kenwood KDCMP919 head unit and i need to know how to run the PS2 audio through the head unit. i sure as hell dont want to use a fm modulator. i need some help.
also what power inverter do you guys recommend? i only need enough power to run the PS2. how do u hook up a power inverter to the car battery, because i dont want to use the cigarette lighter plug.

kenwood makes a peice that connects to the adapter on the back of all kenwoods. to two cd changer inputs as well as a adjustable rca inputs go to a kenwood authorized dealer and have him look it up. it does not cost to much between 100- and 250

You will only need a 140Watt inverter for the PS2. They are the smallest available right now. However, the noise generated by the Inverter may drive you nuts after a while. Sometimes you won't get any noise (Square wave), but you might whenthe lights are on, and the inverter, something stupid like that.

You can plug 12V directly into the PS2, but you have to take it all apart at home, and use a voltage meter to see where your 12V source is, after the TRANSFORMER inside the PS2. The modification takes about an hour. I am looking into instructions for this, but it has been done. The PS2, and Game Cube are only 12VDC, just as your Personal Computer is, the Power supply simply changes it down to +12,-12,+5,-5 VDC.

You can take the PS2 apart, and use a Volt Meter to trace the voltages down to the final Two Wires (+12) you need to make an adapter to run it right from Car power. The Game Cube power supply is 110in, but 12V out, (12V where it connects to the back of the Cube). The Car Adapter replaces the PowerSupply, and supplies the 12V right to the LCD screen, and Cube at the same time.
