After almost 4 nights straight.... I finally got the xbox project done. it's in my car and f'n awesome. Pics below:
First, the car..
2005 Mazda 3 S Touring, Winning Blue
- 17" Stock Wheels
- Mods: Tint, Sharkfin, Wing, and LCD/XBOX system
The project included:
- Softmodding the XBOX
- 80 GB Hard Drive
- XBMC (XBOX Media Center)
- Editing original theme for a blueish feel and used Mazda Logo on splash screen
- Music, Movies, SNES/N64/Playstation Emulation
- Connects to Xenarc Monitor and auxmod for sound
Future Plans on this: Wireless Controller or Remote, Upgrade Video to VGA (using component to vga adapter)
PICTURES
XBOX UNDER SEAT (it's been organized and pushed much further underneath the seat)

ms3's start around 23, which is all you'd need if you wanted to go custom carputer style. the part i got is from japanparts.com, the screen is the xenarc tsv 7". Both together cost $600, which is much less then the $1800 Nav option that you can get with the car.Originally Posted by ThurzNite

Hey, good job, looks really nice!
Couple of questions dough, can you control the xbmc over the touchscreen?
If yes, do you have a special driver for the touchscreen?
second, how do you emulate N64 games on the xbox?
There is a n64 emu ported to the xbox its on xbox scene dot com.
Nice project, The xbox does support usb direct plug into the controler port and I've used a mouse and KB with XBMC so you should be able to plug ur touch screen and try to get it working.
Other then that badass project I love my XBMC media streamer
Nice job, but why blackout the car plate on the first pic, when it is clearly visible on the screenshot.
last i heard you can't use a touchscreen in XBMC, just 'cause it supports keyboards doesnt mean it has touch drivers.., although you might now be able to get drivers now
inadvertenly (sp?) didnt notice that till after the fact? lol oh well....
i haven't heard anything about usb support in xbmc yet, but yeah that would be killer...
my next step in this process is to get wireless mini controllers, convert component to vga for better picture on this monitor (using that X2-DM or whatever it's called), and probably find a way to get ts working..
Night,
When you say you bought a part from japanparts.com, which part?
Assuming this one here
I just traded in my Mazda Protege 5 for a Mazda 3 last night and I want to migrate over to putting the computer in the new car. I was considering buying the following unit and just fitting a Lilliput or Xenarc into it.

I noticed you either remove or altered the dash for your screen. Does your screen fold down or does it stay where it is? Just curious.
Your setup looks great and I wish you luck on using Xbmc.
and turning
