I will need some more info such as what kind of audio deck you are talking about, and if you really want to put in a dvd player too, or if you want to just use the ps2 to play dvd's. Let me know and I will try to give you a hand

Ok, you'd do it like so. This is assuming your audio deck has 2 auxillary inputs.

Lets start with the dvd player. Run an RCA cable from the audio out on your dvd player to the auxillary in on your audio deck. This will give you sound from the dvd player. Run a single rca cable from the video out on your dvd player to your tv screen. This will give you video. You might need a 2-to-1 rca connector to do this, since we'll need to do the same for the PS2, and I'm not certain that your screen will have 2 video inputs.

Do the same procedure for the PS2. You'll just need to switch to the appropriate aux input on your head unit to get the sound for whatever you're watching.

Honestly, I think it's a dumb idea to have both a ps2 and a dvd player in your car. Why not skip all the hassle and play the DVD's from your ps2? it would be easier and would save money/time installing.

Do you have the audio and the video for your ps2 hooked up to the dvd player? If that is the case you only need to run the audio from the dvd player to the deck. IF YOUR DECK DOES NOT HAVE AN AUX INPUT, you can use an FM modulator. That will make it so that you can get the audio from your dvd player and ps2 by tuning to a certain radio station(kind of like XM radio). If this doesn't make sense to you by reading it, you can call me and I will help you through it. My number is 563-571-8686 and my name is Levi. I'll help you get this done.
