Sorry mate didnt get a chance to have a look but you can use a DC Inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter, but you need to calculate the watts for your inverter.

In-Car Power Inverter - Convert DC 12V to AC 240V and USB - 300W

Power Inverter 500W for Car, DC 12V in, AC 220-240V out - Online Shopping @ Shopping Square.COM.AU Online Bargain & Discount Shopping Square

The PS2 uses about 72W i think so youd need a monitor that uses anything under 428W if you were to get a 500W inverter, there pretty handy tho.

Thats one way ill see if i can find you another way.

cheers mate 300watt should be heaps ive been told so the invertor is probably the cheapest option i rekon

ive gt an indash dvd player with av input so monitor aint needed just power for the ps2

ah k yeah fair enough, yeah i read around and saw a few people were just running the ps2 straight from the battery, but apparently it can cause a few problems and the inverter is the safest option, and its also a + u can run heaps of other **** in your car just aslong as it stays under the rating.

anyways all the best mate.

a good idea but,an old one. i hate to say it but bloody ford came out with a few vehicles factory fitted with a ps2. cant remember what model it was
(think it may have been a limited edition xr6 or something)but,there is bound to be full wiring details of how they did it somewhere around
