Default Installing a n64/ps3 in my car HELP!

Well i finally installed my Eclipse AVN726e and it comes with 3 rca wires made for the ipod adapter but i dont want that... How do i hook up a Ps2/3/n64 to the system? How do i get power to my console? i heard something about a 12v converter. Will thatd rain my batteries quick? is there another way?

The Eclipse should have RCA Input, Red, White, and Yellow. The red and white are audio inputs, and the yellow is video input.

All you need is a power inverted, you can have one hooked up to your cig adapter, but becareful because it's only designed to pull so much current.

You can get a simple one on ebay or amazon for about $25. You would only need something lie 300 watts for a N64 or PS3. You might need more if you wanted to hook up a xbox360, they pull more power. Also you'll be find when your car is running, it won't drain the battery, only when you have your car off, and you use it for an hour, will it drain your battery.

Here's an example of one with a game port, where you can hook up other stuff. It's $60 on amazon, but it's only $40 shipped on ebay.
