Went to www.tvandnav2go.com. They said that a house unit could be modified to work in the car. However, it would cost me about $159 from them for a unit already modded.

I recently asked about what people with portable TVs were to do, when I was recently at a digital TV booth at a local convention. They said a battery operated digital TV converter had recently been introduced.

But, in your case, I think all you need to find is a digital TV converter (there are many brands) that takes 9v or less from the plug-in power module (i.e., "wall wart"). Then, you just drop the car's 12-13.6v to the 9v or less, using a voltage regulator, and you should be all set.

My GX has a 110 Volt outlet, so I should be able to use a house converter, provided it doesn't draw too many Watts.

It shouldn't draw more than what your outlet can dish out. It's amps that you should be worried about more than watts. But like someone suggested, I would look into finding one that can run off of batteries and get a voltage regulator of sorts that would drop down the voltage in your car from 12-14 to whatever voltage your converter requires... This can be accomplished by wiring resistors in-line with your 12v line in your vehicle. Any car stereo shop should be able to do this. It will also be easier to do a more thorough and "factory-like" install because it can be hard-wired into your vehicle rather than being plugged into a socket. Hope this helps!! GL!
