Question Hooking up tv to car speakers

A friend and I are installing a 5" lcd into his jeep. We havnen't got around to taking the head unit out to see if it has any inputs, but if it doesn't have any audio inputs, what can we hook it up to, if anything, to get the sound out of his speakers. Thanks.

Not that this helps VERY much but if he has a Kenwood with a CD changer port they make a $30 part to change the input into red/white lines (RCA). All else, um...

What is he playing on the LCD? Playstation? TV? Either way you need a little part called an FM modulator. Its about $25. If I remember right, you plug the wires from the LCD into it and it has a connector that kinda splices into your antenna wire coming from the Head unit. You know the wire... the thick black wire with the funny looking ends. Then you tune your CD player to the specific station and it plays whatever you have hooked up to it. Check it out!

Thanks a lot. We'll be hooking playstation 2 up to it. Also, can I get the FM mod. at radio shack? If not, where do I go to get it? Thanks again.

i suggest crutchfield, radio shack quality is low, and they may or may not carry it.
