I drive a Dodge Ram 1500 V8 and I wanted to install a Xbox into it. I was just wondering how I would do it and what to expect, thanks .

You would need something to convert the power from the car battery to something suitable for the Xbox, then of course you would need a monitor that also needs power. Don't ask me about the specific components needed to do this. I have been playing around with computers using car power but that's a different thing as I can change the power supply to one that works with car voltages.

Check out mp3car.com.

Also, if the power into an Xbox goes straight into a PSU and then at a lower voltage to all the components like in a PC, then you could just replace the Xbox PSU with one that runs from 12 V DC (instead of mains supply), often called a DC-DC PSU.

Simply go to any car-spares retail shop and buy yourself a resonably priced step up converter.

As you're in Finland you would need a 12vdc~230vac converter,
which can be purchased from ebay for about £10(UK)

That's not really a suitable means for installing it into your car, I think he wants to run it off his car battery.

You'll have to buy it from a specialist and it will probably be quite expensive, it's probably not worth it.
