What kind of converter do you have? You need a plug-in 240v - 12v inverter, or if its hard-wired you need to make sure you keep a fuse inline.

what?sorry mate im not following you um its just got 2wires and i have to take apart the ciggarette lighter and connect it to the wires following me?

Not quite the PS2 will run on 240v AC and the car will be 12v dc. so you need an inverter or have the ps2 modded to work on 12v dc!

There are 3 wires going into the fag lighter

Yellow - live

Brown - earth

and Blue - is for the light surrounding the fag lighter

(dont quote me on these colours, ill double check tomorrow for you)

You need a power inverter and the need to hard wire it to the Yellow and Brown (again, not 100% sure on the colours)

This is what i did for my PS2

Well, when you turn engine on, itll turn off anyway - cus of the massive power drop from engine cranking.. all inverters do it.

 

[connor]

as do most hifis dont they? switch off n on when starting ur car?

& also mate, take the inverter straight to the battery, its alot easier...

 

[CS_Matt]
