alright i bought a cheap dash mount pyle screen off of vosschs which looks great and he was a great seller, but ive never worked with monitors b4 and he hasnt had it in the car for a while so he couldnt really help me. i was wondering if i could splice the power and ground wire from the monitor into the cd player wiring? i will be putting it right above the radio on the dash. if i were to splice into the wiring for the cd player which wires do i splice into? im wanting to do this asap so any help is greatly appreciated

im also going to be putting a ps2 in the console, i have no problems wiring that up but i was wondering if anyone has ever hard wired a ps2 to the battery so i wouldnt have to use an inverter. or can i hardwire an inverter to the battery and if so how?

thanks in advance for your help.

I dont think u should have a problem running fof the cd player power as long as you dont draw to much power from that guage wire., but i htink u should be fine

well with my 7" lcd i have...i ran the power straight to the ACC wire so it turns on with the car...yet i can still turn it off of course while i drive. i wouldnt wire it to the radio...

you could wire it to the radio useing a relay to switch power. so it wont hurt the acc+ to the radio.

and you cant hard wire a ps2 to the battery, you can hard wire an inverter to the battery by connecting the positive wire on the inverter to the positive terminal on the battery using the correct fuse and grounding the negative wire off.
