installing a ps2 in a car

[fraz_micra_88]

well my mate got a tv screen for his car and wants to install a ps2, just wondering how much would you all say is a good price for that?? or anyone recomend anywhere in west of scotland??

cheers fraz:unclesam:

Well i did mine for about £130, including the screen.

You'll need another power lead, a ps/2 lead and a power invertor. If you want it through the stereo it gets a bit harder. PM me for fitting, as i've got weekedns off now man.

can you run it through a standard HU?

 

[Titch]

Yea - but you'll need a FM Modulator. Its a bit tricky to wire them up.

 

[micra man]

If you have an AUX lead in the back of your H/U it will plug straight in, otherwise you will need an FM modulator as Titch says, wiring it up is pretty easy, once you figure out where all of the wires go.

I will remind people again that the use of FM modulators in the UK is still illegal (and probably relatively poor quality). Crazy I know, but true, the government are looking into it with the EU though.

Incidentally, pretty much any Pioneer from 1995 or so onwards has the capability of AUX-in via their IP-BUS input. I think some other systems have similar things (Clarion, Alipine etc) what headunit does he have?

Most new HU should have an AUX input for other MP3 players etc

if it dont have a aux but has a free cd changer connection u can get a cable that will turn that in to aux thats what i have done

If you are handy at electronics, you can bypass the power invertor and transformer in the ps2 and just run it directly from a DC-DC convertor........

I think that's what I was referring to This is the Pioneer version:
