Xbox 360 In Car Problems

[DRD-00F]

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

PAL60 is very similar to NTSC(PAL60 = Normal PAL Format, but NTSC's **Hz), just look for a decent NTSC to PAL converter, should do the trick.

Why would you put a 360 in your car though? You do realise that you cant be driving while a passenger is playing, as the disc will scratch if it's spinning and the console moves the slightest bit?

yes thank you mr corolla... im well aware how ghey microsoft are...

i think i can chuck my headunit onto NTSC actually... ill see if that works...

thanks by the way, even if it was 4 months later

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

what the f**k did that have anything to do with anything in this thread?

welcome to Microsoft's world of meeting deadlines... your a fool for buying it when it first came out, i waited quite some time...

Yo Mr doooof

Post pics up of your xbox in the car etc.. where it's place etc... I wanna see!

[DRD-00F]

its on the floor next to me til i can figure out how to play Forza in the car normally it sits in the boot next to the battery...

though a better place might be on the side of the boot where your car jack shit normally is... but i have a 10 stacker there...

why, thinkin about doing the same thing?

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

[Pauly33GTS-t]

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.

you are a total ass. i just tried to advise you on thinking twice b4 puting the 360 in your car and you attack me. go f%*k yourself.

[DRD-00F]

that wasn't an attack... don't be so soft...

and thank you, but i am already well aware of the downsides of it...

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.

[DRD-00F]

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...
