if you havent done it yet, its not that hard depending on your head unit, some head units require a video controller box type of setup to process teh signal, others take the input straight from the xbox and can display it, thats the trickiest part. other than that, just get an inverter, i would hard wire it to a switch, then run it into the back and mount it somewhere, and do the same with the xbox- mind you will have to get out of the car, or go through a hassle to change games, turn on etc

i usually just leave it on the back seat on long trips n let who ever is riding tiwth me go to town. not a very practical thing to have, but makes long trips more fun (and longer cuz then ya gatta stop to show up their high score's)
