In-built audio with PS2

Guys,

I recently bought a new LCD screen without speakers, intending to link up my PS2slim. Anyone knows how I can connect my PS2 to the in-built audio system?

Is there an audio in/out where I can simply connect or must I buy an AMP and a pre-AMP to solve this problem? Mine's a '04 4AT model.

Original head unit has no audio in. MM has an aux in mod but when I checked with them, I was told it is not for the RX-8. So if you want to hook up your PS2 audio to your original head unit, you are stuck with 2 options. Either get a FM transmitter (poor quality and subject to interference), or like you said, get an amplifier and pre-amp (with an aux-in) to plug your PS2 audio to. If you are considering getting the amp/pre-amp option, let me know. I have a spare Lanzar pre-amp lying around after I upgraded my head unit.

console is by Kanatechs. Retains factory functions of the 3 ***** ( aircon and such ).

You can get it from these 2 shops ( Kings way and New Generation ).

A few of us already had it installed. PM me if you want to ask more.

the aux-in mod is available at US60. a cheaper and better option if one prefers to keep the original HU.
