lets see, you will need a DC to AC power inverter to power the playstation.....something to get the sound to your speakers, either an FM modulator, or If you your head unit has an auxilary input that will work too. then someone who can build a mounting bracket, or console to secure it all.....any questions?

I thought you said "take care.silly". Anyway... are you doing the wiring yourself? Find where you want to mount the PS-2, thats the hardest part- finding a nice safe place out of the way with easy access. Don't forget the PS-2 doesn't hold the discs in with anything but gravity, so I reccomend mounting it level otherwise the disc could pop and and damage itself, the PS-2, or just skip and annoy you. Thats pretty much it. AC-DC inverter or bypass the onboard transformer and wire it straight to DC. Converting 12VDC to 240VAC then back down to a low DC voltage is a huge waste of power and can get very hot.
