Damn I just bought a 110v inverter without thinking, it shouldn't work to power the PS2, will it?

I just got single plug inverter to run plugged into my cig lighter inside the arm rest and ran the power cord through the back of my glovebox, down through the center console/shifter area, and up through the bottom of the arm rest where the 12v power source is. As for the hard drive, I've never had one, so if it adds *ANY* depth to the unit, you wont get it to work without modifying the glove box. I just stripped my cords and folded them back towards the unit so they didnt bend goofy and electrical taped them back up. Its snug, but not impossibly so.

that should be fine, the PS2 switches between 110/120 I think automatically as I think that's the standard for most electronics in the US, just don't get a 220v for use in europe and you should be gtg.

I just thought I would offer the option for any DIY'ers out there.

Exactly how i'm setting mine up. Just ordered all the parts.
