Re: my avic doesn't like my xbox, but likes ps2, h

Well, I guess since the xBox is a computer, it is already using 12v and 5v internally.... We might be able to do the same thing.... Personally, I wouldnt want to yank the power supply from it, since I frequently take it out of the car and use it at home too...

Hmmm....

Re: my avic doesn't like my xbox, but likes ps2, h

I just went to Radio Shack on my lunch break and picked up a ground loop isolator and attached it to my audio connectors. It works!! It has reduced the static noise to very low levels, and can only hear it when I crank the volume to high. But the isolator, doesn't do anything for the video, it scrambles the image. So, now, it sounds okay and looks okay. But not great. Hmm ... this xbox this turning out to be quite a pain in the butt.

Yeah... It turns me off to the whole Xbox thing too... But you can't beat 120+GB of videos, movies etc... Its the best way to go. Once we figure this out, we'll be good to go.

Well; I don't use the avic......but my Xbox image does leave a little to be desired. I get a pair of moving horizontal interference lines. These are fairly faint, so it's still playable. I use a different Pioneer AV box, (no RGB output, but 3 video in; three video out,) and have NO sound problems at all. I'd love to figure out how to eliminate the video noise.....then it would be worth it to do the trick the showed on Tech TV the other night....rigging a remote power button in the controller using garage door opener parts. Untill then, I guess have to stick to the PS2 for the car. But I have not given up hope for fully modding my PS2 with a 120 gig....after all, the new Final Fantasy is coming with a HD! And they've had PS2 HD's in Japan for a few years now.

Yah RacerX, those are the same exact interference lines that I get on my video from the xbox. Makes me wonder how the xbox audio/video is different from the ps2 to cause all this interference.

You have any more info on that Tech TV mod? ... you didn't records that show by chance, did ya?

yah it definitely looks good, but also costs an arm and a leg IMO. You should wait, I read that sony will be releasing an updated version to include many of the features that they skipped out on in order to deliver it on time for last christmas. You should do some researching on that to confirm my post.
