as the title suggests, do any 2nd gen owners here have a chunky style PS2 in there glovebox?

if they do, please tell me how you did it:D

Paul

doesnt fit

fits nicely in the rear passenger armrest tho :D

it does fit but needs some "help"

rear passenger armrest? as in the ski port thing?

how about under the pasenger seat in that useless draw?

so far its going under the drivers seat, but i would like it in the glovebox for some stupid reason.

i was going to cut some out i just really cant be assed, was hoping there was a nice way around this

I reckon ski-port as well :). Seen many done like this and looks good with clear plastic covering it.

Well if anyone has done it lets see some pics.

ski port is outta the question - just installed my rear seat covers, i say installed as i had to take out both pieces of the seat to do so!

might have to get a spare glovebox to hack into and see if it works..

how bout make an enclosure in ur glovebox.. as in pull the ps2 slightly apart and fit it in a custom box in the glovebox... u do this 1st then i'll do wat u do :P (ive always wanted to do this) thing is i gotta get that monitor tooo now :confused:

hmmm and encorporated the front of it to the front of the glovebox, could look sweet, but then you lose the function of your glove box.

hmm, i take it you need a power inverter to run the ps2? i rekon putting it in the ski hole thing would be sweet, altho my sub fires straight through there so that wouldnt be fun.

im actually thinking of modding the glovebox so the disk drawer shoots out the front of it. i dont use the glovebox for muxh anyways...hmmmmm

yeah got myself a 300W power inverter from jaycar on special for like $89.

for now its going under the drivers seat.

when i get some $$ my glovebox will be full of candylol :D

i used to put mine under the passenger seat, worked fine under there. One thing i would suggest is modifying your power supply. Theres a site on the net somewhere that tells you how. I found that my inverter used to sap my battery dry too fast, and plus, the ps2 has to go from 12v to 240v then back to around about 12 inside the unit, why not just bypass the 240v stage. I think it would make for a cleaner and more efficient install. I reckon you could make it pretty sweet inside the glove box though... good luck. I just ended up buying a stand alone dvd player that fits in my centre console... stealth style.

you could easily fit a slim line PS2 under the armrest center console if you remove the little bin thingy, quite possibly even a full size version, harder to steal, harder to see, but easy to get to use if you kow where it is, and makes the cabling for the Headunit easy as, ive done it, but removed it cause i play it to much at home!

if you make the ps2 fit in the glove box, why not cut out a bit of the glove box for the cd part on the ps2, and glu it to the cd thing or something so it looks like a glove box when close but you can still use the ps2 when its closed, and the glove box works aswell, just have to becareful on how to mount it and the power supply, i'd say get a 2nd battery for your car, maybe even put it your boot, would be cool having a ps2 in the glove box, but i think i'll stick with getting an lcd screen (for gps) and dvd player hu.

hahaha no worries 2nd battery :P ou send me the money i buy the deep cyclelol

maccy D, have you got a picture of your work? even without the PS2? im very keen to know more about what you have done here

After I Get Home From Work Matey I Will Take A Pic.

all worked

took out glovebox

then tok out the 2 10mm nuts on the side, and 4 screws on the top, and cut a rectangle in that pice of plastic

PS2 fits Perfectly in there now!

sorry i never got back to you about the ps2 pics, uni assingments and work commitements, perfect fit hey!

nah tis all good now, but does anyone know hot to fit a 7" widescreen into the console???

looks like ill have to seperate it into 2 pieces..

hmm NEW PROBLEM!!!

connected it all up last night, everything went swell.
Now being in the glovebox the PS2 sits in a slight incline, however now it is not reading a single disc, CD, DVD, Game, nothing.

I did a search on google that had an awesome tutorial on how to adjust the laser to make it more or less sensitive, but i mean, i hardly touched my PS2.

It has been sitting in my room happily playing games for the last 3 years, i put it in the car for a week and finally connected it up last night, and now it doesnt go past the "browser/System configuration" screen

Doesnt even load past that screen to tell me it has a bad disc

Someone know what could be going on? im really pissed as i got a screen but the scource isn't working!:doubt:

Thank j0000!

does it play on a normal angle? did u take it out and test it?

Might need to find a new spot

for some gay reason, it loads up when its flat...so all i gotta do is take it out and load the game, then let it rest back in the glovebox....

Playing GT4 in the car is soooooooooooo cool Ah best 48 seconds of my life.

Also gerard, I noticed the screen is quite staticy (i.e. grainy), what could be a cause of this?

static in the wires somewhere. probably the av cables or power.. who knows. didn have much of a problem with me..

i know u lose alotta quality using a in car lcd screen compared to a tv. thats to be expected

I'v seen this static in cheap screens in car systems, a lot of the time they are caused by interfierance in the car (using cheap non shielded AV leads), sometimes bad earthing, make sure that all connections are correctly done (with good quality plugs or even better twisted and soldered). You can also get noise cancelors from good car audio retails (they are used to cut down the noise and interferance from the alternator for am radios in cars)

you could wrap the AV cables in alfoil for a cheap remedy...

ah well, im sick of pulling apart the centre console for now, so maybe next week.
Ill try another earthing point, first, but the Cables are asaik good quality, i mean can you get upgraded PS2 AV cables?

Because from the PS2, yellow goes to the screen, and White and Red go to an adaptor which connects it into the Front AUX input.

but cheers guys, ill try re-earthing it, or if that fails, maybe an in line filter
