You need a power inverter, they are about £40 from Maplin I think.
Thats about it really, the std cable you get with the xbox has the RCA/Phono type connections most in car TV's can use this as an input source, and if your car stereo has Aux In you can plug the two sound leads (Red and White) into the headunit and have the sound blasting thru your stereo

you can run the x-box from a 150w inverter but needs to have cool air around it, i played mine in the car today and it tripped out after 60 mins almost to the minute. u could try drilling out the holes in the inverter to increase cooling (which i'm gona do) if it gets a cool air feed u should be ok.

the xbox draws around 200 watts when warmed up, you need a 250 watt invertor to be safe according to lik sang.
