usually the ps4 uses about 150 watts while playing, so you’re gonna want ab a 750 watt inverter or more, just depends on how much wattage you’re gonna get through the usb
Helpful video I’ve seen a few of these now and still can’t find any that address the heat your console is subjected to, any ideas? also while looking for that in your comments and saw a guy who thought this might hurt the alternator, any idea why that is?
1. Console should go under the seat next to the ac vent. 2. Alternator always works pushing out 14.4v and the limit is 140w for most cars. Person might be thinking alternator works harder than usual, but I believe it's the auto 12v battery that's spending cycles.
I don’t think our truck has a video input. I guess I could just get a portable hdmi monitor and put it in the back seat or something. Or bring the switch
I got a Ford Taurus show with RCA jacks, I installed a mirror cast type system started making my screen go screwy did you have this issue although two different things here?
I tried that weird Nintendo entertainment system. The classic edition that can fit in your hand end up putting that in my truck if for some reason it worked because I had a HDMI to USB cable in my truck if that makes any sense.
Here are the things I got. You might need some rca cables as well. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JJSW48V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W9LQDBB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You could also go with a lower watt level but I bought this one so I could change something at the same time
If it's under 200w continuous, it would work. I think anything over 400w would be too powerful unless you get a secondary battery (or a portable power station!)
i thought the max a car lighter could do is 150 watts? most invertors 400+ say they cant run thru the carlighter as it maxes at 150, they suggest clipping it to the battery.
So the xbox power brick outputs DC into the xbox but takes AC from the car inverter... Is there a way to not run the xbox power brick and run the xbox straight from the car DC output? (or van in my case) Just seems pointless converting it from DC to AC and then back to DC
Problem is that the power supply of the xbox changes the ac to dc but the xbox components dont just run off of 12v. Some use less voltage so running it directly off of 12v would fry the xbox.
I have not done this myself yet, but you'd plug your tv/monitor to the power inverter and the console to the inverter as well. most inverters have at least one power outlet, but if you need to add more, get a power adapter ($4 at Lowe's)

I have an F350 with ac 110v 150w plug in and AV plug ins with a screen in the console. I can play game and hear sounds but not video comes up. HELP ME!!!!
Consoles run near 250 continuous watts, like me if you have an actual tv installed in your car and xbox1. Your power inverter will need rated at least 500 watts. And you will want the pure sine wave inverter, so not to damage your electronics. Sounds to me you are under powering your set up. If your going to run a game console theres a few options. #1 get a quality power inverter that connects directly to your battery with fuse protection & low battery shut off. Almost any inverter between $100 & 200 will have all safeties. #2 depending on how much gaming you plan on you can even have a second deep cycle battery installed just to run consoles. Basically anything drawing under 90 amps don’t really need engine on. But over 100 - 150 watts you want a decent inverter. But anything over that you will need a quality power inverter with all the bells and whistles, direct battery connections, even as far as a separate generator to keep secondary battery always charged.
My 2016 Chevrolet Traverse has AV hookups. I'm trying to hook up my Xbox. Which converter do I need? AV to HDMI or HDMI to AV. It's kinda confusing on amazon.

There's a lot of feed back coming thru the speakers did you ever figure out where the neutral leak was or was it getting feedback from inside one adaptors
depends on the size battery you own, the wattage of the power inverter, the amount of watts whatever console your using needs (newer consoles require more watts) usuallly no

Would I be able to plug in the ps4 pro, tv and a router into a 1000 watt portable power station??? Seems like a dumb question lol but curious
If it's standalone yes. If it's connected to a car battery, it might overload the battery. 200 to 400w is safe for a car battery
