things you'd obviously need:

- XBOX
- Monitor with audio/video in capabilities(either in dash, or whatever you choose)
- power converter

there... that's the easy way to do it lol
there lol... that's pretty much it

put it in the trunk and get extensions for the remotes and be creative with running the wires so they wont be seen. If you have an amp you can use the power from it to run an inverter.

I second the trunk, granted that going this way you have to get in your trunk to change games...oh well. As far as hiding wires goes, thats easy: under mud guards, under seats. But i think your cool with that part. Good luck im interested in some pix also.

man id say make a custom glove box enclosure. ive seen a couple for the ps2 and they look great. plus you wouldnt have to switch out the games in the trunk and you can show it off more. also one of the glove box enclosures for the ps2 was made from carbon fiber so it looked extra slick.

Well the question id ask first is you want it to just get in there? Or do you want it to be more permanent and more functional (and the look factor). That will help decide which route to go, custom or toss it in the trunk. Both are good ways to get it done.

ok cool, ya see I figure its gonna be about $100 to get the inverter (im from australia)

I want it to look good too, so whether to go custom or not im not too sure, i dont mind sticking it in the boot, just how do I keep it from rolling around?

hahah sorry guys if I sound like a dumbass.

You can try mounting with your choice of how to do that but on some foam to cusion it. or velcro may do the trick, it does depend on the condition of the driving.
