if its an NTSC screen and you cant change it to pal (for your PS2, unless your PS2 is NTSC as well) then you will be stuck with black and white

Although majority of screens now have a setting to change this or like dave said have different inputs. Although most of them i have come across have been auto detecting

Looks nice mate but you definately need to get the silver head unit adaptor so that it matches your dash - £25(ish) from Vaux - the colour is Matt Chrome.

you got a link or anything for the smaller power supply unit?

just that there was a big thing in the ICE about hunting out a power supply for the unit, as the slim line ps2 only requires 8.5v@5.5 amps, so its abit daft going from 12v to 240v then back down to 8volts.
But as of yet, i havnt been able to find a 12v power supply unit, unlike you can get for the old ps2 (although there about 30-50 quid for a unit and it voids warranty).

Virgin do a small inverter for the ps2, it costs 30 and has a lead that plugs staright in to the power port on the ps2 rather then usin the normal plug. also has thermal cut out and other safety features, i know it works on the new ps2,s as my mate has just fitted his.

they cost £117 from ebay a guy with the username "ex-audio"....there are hundreds of em!!

P&p was an extra £30 as they were being shipped via fed ex express from HONG KONG!!

and then yesterday i had to pay £23 import tax, so all in all, about £170 for the pair!

They are just as good if not better than the standard single screens you get or even the dash screens in cd players etc.

Well worth the money!

I've jut bought 2 sunvisor screen and they look excellent, mine are grey though and I paid £220 delivered from www.tgincar.co.uk. The only thing better about buying them there is that their from the UK so if they break its eaiser to send them back

Dave Corsa C 1.2 SXI - I can see many a u2u coming your way as I get stuck when installing the screens
