Well fisrt of all you need a tv and depending if your tv has rca inputs or not , if it does then good you can connect the xbox rca's into your tv AUX channel if not then you will need to buy a AV SWITCHER so you will be able to switch from video modes , and yes you will need to buy a power converter. and thats about it anything else you need you can PM me. hope that helps

you will need an "FM Modulator" for the sound to come out from the factory bose

You may want to consider creating a "line in" on your bose. FM modulators don't work too well..especially in large cities.

you can possibly just buy the things you need which should come with instructions , or if you just want to save the hassle take it to the shop , just make sure the shop has worked on a Z before .

invertors are available at best buy, wal mart, auto stores, basically anywhere. it converts the 12v power in your car into a current that any home appliances (ie. an xbox).
