I *THINK* you only need to buy two of the adpaters. This is because it only needs one audio input (the red and white wires) as it only has one speaker (if your using aux in on your headunit it play sound you'll only need one)

The reason there are three wires available is because you have 2 video inputs and an audio input. Its confusing how they use the same colours when they are a bit diff. I think its red that is the second video input.

nah you just need an invertor which will have the standard 3 pin output an youll be able to use any nomal plug with it

Do you mean i will need a power invertor to run my ps2 to the car battery for its main power source? At the back of the ps2 there is like a input thing that looks kinda like a pair of tits, the wire that goes into that has a plug on the end of it, my question is, do i need a wire without a plug on the end of it or does the household plug, plug into the invertor?

ok, i didnt realise that, i was just looking at the cheapest option, i dont get paid till next friday and dont have a penny to my name till then and parents wont lend me money either! O well, i guess ill just have to play the waiting game!

Now ive got this part solved, do ineed to buy a special wire that runs from the ps2 to the car battery!?

no, cos the wires have inner and outer sections, kind of like household tv aerials, so no, just buy the correct connectors, they are very cheap and also allow u to remove the ps2 and/or screen if u sell the car, or if its in an accident, whether its u crashing or someone else hitting you. Either way, just get the connectors to save you hassle!

Couldnt i just snip the wires and solder them together? that way i cud get rid of the bullet connector thingys. I was thinking this, but it seems risky?

just hade a look at all the leads mate, you should need 3 of these:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=1017&doy=22m11&QV=P
as the AV connectors out of the TV and the AV connectors from the PS2 are all male plugs. If you get three of these, then its just a case of matching them up colour for colour. I had the same problem trying to connect up my TV to my surround sound in my flat at uni.
Hope this helps mate.

take the scart leads from the ps2,put all three into the rca's on the tv,that should give you ps2>tv signal,then u will need power for both in your car so will you not need a 12v invertor or something?

if theyre all the holes,and the rca's from the ps2 dont work,the tv cannot be compatible with the ps2? ur tv till need rca's or scart for it to work

Nah, the tv wil work in my house but i dont see how to connect the ps2 to it? these are the wires i had:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/woodywoods12345/auxin.jpg
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y148/woodywoods12345/avwires.jpg

And these are the only holes present on the tv:

So this is the progress i have made so far:

The problem i have is connecting the wires up, because the wires I have (red yellow white etc) wont go into the side of the screen, on a normal household screen you get an adaptor to go in the back of your tv, but there is no where for this on this unit. Anyone know?

Yeah, try the screen in your house and make sure it works.

How are you powering your ps2 in the car?
