Default Anyone with an Xbox360 in ride?

I just purchased an Xbox360 with plans to drop it in the
ride. I got my indash DVD flip out and waiting on my 2 flip
downs for the rear passengers. Figured the wireless controllers
would be nice (no wires in the way). Any pics or help on install
ideas would be appreciated

I have a gamecube in the car now, but for shows i'm thinking about throwing my 360 in. Just worried about someone snatching it or the controllers


My opinion, if ur gonna be putting it in there and keeping it there, i would hide it.

Im thinking atm currently to put it just under one of the seats but have it so that i can take out the main system out when i leave. Also crossed my mind to have it in the trunk in the lil cargo bay...just place some foam for a surrounding to cushion it from skipping i guess.Final thought was to mod the glove compartment to hold it. But then again don't know if the overheating of the 360 will be an issue. Either way the wires and power source will be left in the car at all times is my plan atm

360's overheat FAST, cramped areas with a small amount of air will kill one faster than the crashing graphics cards these things have had...... first one i bought i had to send off to be repaired.

With all the problems with overheating of 360s that were put on carpet or in small spaces, I don't think throwing one in you car is a good idea at this point. Maybe when they are $200, but not now.
