Multipronged question here, I would like to mount an XBox somewhere in the front of my wagon, where I can remove it with ease, and hook it to a TV monitor that will be mounted inside the glove box. Any ideas? The other question, is how do I rig the XBox to play through the existing stereo system, which does have 2 external amps etc.

i'd probably try mounting the xbox under the passenger seat or maybe make use of the tiny pass-through into the trunk, not too many choices in this car

monitors are a dime a dozen these days. seems like a lot of people are going the multimedia route. cheap prices can be had as well you just have to be patient and look. are you wanting something removeable or semi-permanent=mounted console etc?
as far as running it through the stereo, are you running stock or aftermarket head unit?

I am running aftermarket everything. The monitor is not going to be the problem, just the sound routing and the Xbox mounting. I can't do it under either seat because I already have 2 amplifiers mounted under the seats.

What about in the glove box?

I agree with pete in that you should put it in the glove box.
post pics when done. :)

I'd looking into getting a PS2 instead b/c you can cut it in half so it opens up a lot more possibilities.

yea, the xbox is huge, my buddy was going to do the xbox in his 330, but couldnt mount it anywhere so decided to do the PS2 instead..

Wagons dont have a tiny pass through. The rear seats fold down.

Do you mean cut the PS2 in half?!?!?! Like with a saw? and extend some wires.

Do you think the Xbox would fit and be accessible in the glove box with a 7.4" monitor already installed in it?

i doubt it, those xbox's are pretty bulky. i agree about the ps2, the design makes it a lot more install friendly in a vehicle than the xbox. if you really want to install it though, you might think about relocating one amp to the trunk

Not sure how much you want to modify but if you are putting a monitor in the glove box, is it possible to build an enclosure that hangs below the glove box? Another thought is if there is any way to mount in the middle armrest/storage pocket. This would require some significant modification but its an idea.

If you didn't mind losing your passanger side air bag you might be able to install it there. Just an ideal
or how about in the middle of the floor board in the back seat, like on the hump area?

xbox has regular RCA audio output, right? Just hook it up to the AUX IN ports like you would with a DVD player. Add some Y-cables if you need to. Imagine the xbox games with your choice of background music from your CD/MP3 player...

You could mount it in place of your passenger airbag, or maybe get creative with fabricating a center armrest console (behind the shifter) with the xbox built into it.

xboxes are pretty big, a PS2 would be much easier. And they don't have GranTurismo for xbox...

I don't know you but I pretend to install my XBOX in my WRX soon
and did you know why ?................this bulky machine as many of you said, carry the best sound dolby sorround and DTS I want to play Halo in my car.

why --- ?

is ordinary reality not providing enough stimulus?

Please explain the need for arcade entertainment in a modern high performance automobile. Is traffic not engaging enough? Perhaps you need to increase your Ritalin dosage ...
