you need a converter,, the tv will be 240v which the car only has 12v

buy a power inverter and connect one end to the battery, and then plug your tv into the power inverter.

yeah that convertor will work... but have you bought the tv for it yet? the reason i ask is many lcds you buy now are actually 12v internally, they plug into 240v with a convertor on the plug or in the line, this box will normally have written on it its output in volts and power draw in amps. if you look for a lcd with this it will save you having to get a convertor at all ohh... and thanks for the kind words zac Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
