what do you need for the first ps2 (fat one)??

[shadow_89]

i believe you need an invertor (basically a plug socket in your car)

[seanmooney]

ya know where to get one?

[Ghost_bhp]

it can be wired straight to the batter n u just need to add a switch

I got one of those cigarette adaptors for mine, and chopped the end off, and hooked it up to the ignition. :)

[seanmooney]

can you wire that to any live source??

[Keith Fusco]

I don't see why not. I done it the ignition, so it only came on when the car was on, to save power. It was hooked straight up to the battery before, and I unplugged it after every use, but it got tedious.

If I wired the invertor to the battery, and left the PS2 OFF, would it use much power?

[seanmooney]

can ya not wire it to a switch?? sure it wouldnt use power if it was off would it??

[Keith Fusco]

You could wire it to a switch, if you want, but I just figured ignition's easiest, as you only have to turn on the PS2 power then, not push/flick a switch, and then power on the PS2.

[seanmooney]

did you buy the one shown aove??

[Keith Fusco]

I did indeed. It was that one on eBay, with the yellow/black packaging.

[seanmooney]

how much you pay for it??

[Keith Fusco]

£7, or something silly like that. I'll double check for you!
