Also, haven't had any prob w/ the HD.. been running fine now for 6mo+.. (knock on wood)!

Running now for 9 months with the setup and no problems!..
--> Recent Upgrades..
New Version of XBMC installed.. man the latest version is freaking awesome!.. great additions for us Car/Truck users.. There is now scripting avaiable so you can startup your xbox and have it auto-load a playlist w/o any user intervenetion! Very cool.
did you mod your xbox at all? Did you make it a linux machine?
How are you powering everything?
Peace,
Rafster

3-(overkill) 500watt power DC->AC inverter for just the xbox.. everything else is powered from through DC.
I also upgraded my alternator to a hefty 190amp model i got off of ebay a few years ago. The battery i'm using is the stock one that came with the rig..
Update!.. The New version of XBMC ROCKS!.. now i have a startup script that automates the following:
1> Startup, play an intro MP3
2> Loads a random playlist
3> Shuffles the playlist
4> starts a song on the playlist.
I know this is just childs play for anyone with a PC, but for us with an XBOX setup, it'd somewhat of a pain since we have to learn Python scripting to do it :)

More to come! :cool:
That's a very interesting idea to use an Xbox as a carputer.
Cool Thanks Yuriy!
Nice job! I was thinking of doing the same thing for my car before I opted for a carputer. I'm curious, how are you controlling the volume since you are not using a headunit?
Is that some sort of gooseneck you have attached to the screen? How's that working for you? Where did you get it?
