ANYONE who has this problem, or knows anyone that could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated...

The Screen in my car can not support Pal-60 mode on the Xbox (it goes black and white), only Pal-50... some games do not run in Pal-50 at all...

i would like to amend this somehow that doesn't involve paying another 2k for a head unit... plus im pretty sure there is only one that can do it, and its not even released as of yet...

im thinking a converter of some type... maybe i could convert the high def signal to pal 50 or something... i dunno...

so any info, anyone thats done this, anyone that knows anyone or a shop that has done this... any of this information would be fantastic :glare:

dude xbox 360 is crap.

i got one the munite they were released...it froze 2 hours after i opened it!!! so i got a replacement one for free of course....that died about a month and a half ago. took it back to harvey norman and they sent it off to be repaired. its taken 39 days so far and harvey norman still dont know when ill get it back. they said theres some ppl that have waited 60 days and nothing...

then today my workmate said he ws watching a morning show and M$ have admitted that about 40% of the 360 consoles have fatal errors.

im soo pissed off..i got 512k adsl installed like 2 weeks ago mainly for playing xbox live...lucky i have an orig xbox so i can play halo2 and pgr2 online...

wouldnt risk the 360 mate. they are time bombs. puting it in ur car is asking for trouble. just my advice

Well one.. you're a knob.. my 360 died.. rang the number got a RMA form.. sent off and got back 6 days later..

And yes the morning show did say they are having problems with ONE! particular error.. and they have now extended warranty on that error to 3 years..

Keep your MS bashing noobness amongst you and your mates

having a ps2 or xbox1 in the car is the smart idea. you can set them up to play games off a HARD DRIVE.

dont hold your breath for that to happen with a X360 or a Ps3 yet... microsoft said ppl that get caught via their scanning systems playing games in suspiecous manner will have their NIC address of their x360 banned off xbox live for life. and if you buy a xbox360 solely for car you must be thik in the head... lol. id go ps3, it has less issues, just make sure you give either console breathing room, possibly its own air duct to outside.

if your just going to use it in ur car you could get it chipped then you wont need to leave the disks in your car, which would be a piss off if they got stolen. its not like your going to be playing over the net from the car.

i dont know about the new xbox chipping but on the old 1 you can switch between pal and ntsc which might get it working on your cars screen.

the new ones can change, and i use the xbox for both in car and at home... plus i drive the car a lot less now, so its only in there sometimes...

i still haven't put it in to check this, and i doubt i will cause im making some switches for some other shit first...

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
