I was wondering if anyone has installed any consoles in their car? I have a chipped PS2 which I had paid $400 for (a year ago) and always thought about doing this. My main concern was I heard that most people end up frying their PS2 because of voltage problems. I'd like to know if anyone knows of this problem or something similar before I do end up installing it.

WAIT WAIT WIAT you paid 400 bucks for a ps2

 

[jeremy89]

Yo dude i would try this if u dont wanna fry your ps2 if you can look around and find a cheap one i have 2 ps2's and im gonna use my old one ( it used to not read discs)......... yo look for someone with a ps2 that has Disk Read Errors or CannoT read Disk look for people with those problems and i can give you a website on how to fix it

whut 400 holy shit,

 

[RichieRichJP]

Oh my bad, my Ps2 is modded to where it plays all DVD's, all region games

 

[jeremy89]

o okay gotcha

If you want to hook up a PS2 in your car, I'd get a power inverter from Radio Shack or someplace similar.

 

[RichieRichJP]

Yes, someone told me that. But apparently they still had problems. I dont know how much of a risk I would be running doing all this, thats why I want to know if anyone has done this

make sure it's not a cheap power inverter. 700watts is a good start.

honestly Ps2's dont last very long in a vehicle. The hard drive just cant take any serious bouncing around. I cant tell you how many we have put in customers cars to find out 3-4 months later they are dead. I find that XBOX's tend to last ALOT longer. And modding them is easier :banger:

 

[RichieRichJP]

Thanks for the info WortownSolara. Thats kind of what I wanted to know!

 

[Ruffrydasean]

Possibly because the Xbox can't bounce around because it weighs as much as the car :lol:

PS2's dont have harddrives, Xbox's do...

there is a ps2 harddrive, but its to beable to play a MMORPG game...ONLINE. i dont think your car has a cable modem.

 

[RichieRichJP]

You can download store them on your hard drive, I dont know how cuz i dont have a HDD

 

[jeremy89]

I have the HDD it was about 100 bucks with FF10 it has 40 GB its nice it makes the ps2 ALOT HEAVier to me using a xbox would be cool but I GOT 2 ps2s so i can just use one of them :woot:

I'm new to this so bare with me plz. I have a 2002 Echo with a clarion 7" LCD touch screen, 4 JL 2" tweeters, 6 JL 5.25 VR evolution mid's. Those are powered by 2 menphis 800w amps.....my 2 JL W7 13" subs are powered by 2 1100w menphis amps. I too have my ps2 in my car, the only thing I can suggest......DON'T CHEAP OUT ON THE POWER INVERTER. I've never had a problem with mine, but I did have to upgrade the battery and alternater in my car 'cause of the system. :thumbup:

 

[RichieRichJP]

How long have you had that PS2 in your car?

 

[Darknights]

I've had my ps2 in my car just over a year now. I'm thinking about removing my passenger side dash pocket and mounting it in there permanently. Any suggestions on this would be cool.

 

[RichieRichJP]

Man, I thought about doing the same kinda thing. But there wouldnt be much ventilation. I probably wont put it there because the modchip tends to get very hot,so I dont want to fry my PS2. But, I dont know where else to put it
