If anyone is interested, I did this today. Reasonably straightforward if you have a factory fitted TV Tuner. The RCA leads from the PS2 plug straight into the one of the two AV sources in the TV Tuner. This is located in the left rear of the boot.

I used a PS2 Slimline 12v power converter from Big Cat Technologies www.bigcat.com - this is a new product from Big Cat, the main difference being that it doesn't require an inverter but plugs directly into the PS2. I got my local AV specialist to run power from the fuse box to the big cat power supply and plugged that into the PS2.

For the moment, I have just got the PS2 "loose" in the rear armrest, so that it can be removed at the end of long journeys and used indoors as a DVD player/Playstation but may look at making it a more permanent arrangement sometime.

Thats good news then, no of course about it - we had previous posts explaining how it was totally safe to drive and watch DVD's at the same time!

Sounds wonderful, I am sure you would never get my kids out of your car again if they saw this on offer.

To be honest, that is part of the reason we fitted it...we have a two week tour of Europe coming up and a young son who doesn't like being in the car more than a couple of hours tops....he loves DVDs though.....Playstation is a little beyond him this year, but next....
