WOW that was a little too much.

I'd mount it somewhere in the trunk, make a bracket for it an all.. Are you going with an audio set up too?

Probably custom and it shouldnt cost much at all to make one... Wiring and having a tv monitor and all may be pricey.

I don't think it would fit in neither glove box, and even if it did the Xbox would overheat.

how about doing it up in the trunk and running the wires in. personally, i think a 360 is a little too much to put in our cars, but to each his own.

why not invest the money into an upgraded sound system?

I wouldn't advise it at all. One tiny bump and there goes your game. It is very sensitive. I was testing it out in my Accord and just sitting there, the armrest LIGHTLY dropped on it, scratched the game and ruined it.

donpisto beat me to it. the game isn't secure, and the hardware is far from shockproof. also, you'd have to give it more breathing room than you probably care to spare, as they overheat, the solder cracks, and it's hello red ring of death.

you'd be better off with a carputer and some haXor emulator or something if you really want the 360 in the car. but the console is just not up for it.

+1 RROD is in the near future if you mount that thing in your car. its just too much abuse for the brittle solder
