hardwiring an xbox okay so im putting an xbox in my t/a and i want to know if there would be any problems tapping into the power seats wire and cutting the power cord to the xbox and connect them? would i get a surge or anything that would short out the xbox or would it be fine? im doing the same thing to my sirius.

Yes there is a problem.
Your car is about 13 volts DC. The xbox input power is 120 volts AC. You'd need a power inverter for a car to convert to the right input.
I guess the question is, why are you putting a console in your car? And where are you putting the TV for it?
Just don't play games while driving, try explaining that to the cops
