I don't think it's that simple.
When powering a system in your car, save yourself the headache and do it
right. the Carnetix will make it easy to power the PC and control startup & shutdown.
I think a Carnetix P1900 would be adequate for this unit, saving you a few bucks.
This is where you should contact the vendor (mp3car.com) for assistance.
Good luck with that.
