with minor modifications it could fit and i mean minor, you can get it in there but its so tight that you cant flip open the cover to drop a new game in........thats where i wanted to put mine but it just wont fit.....

[StealthAlero99]

so where did you put urs?

[bigd6983]

underneath the passenger seat towards the back, its not perfectly mounted down just because im lazy but it fits....

[Vtolds]

Mold it standing up in the door.

[turtles_ride]

i don't think the new one will play standing up will it?

[Vtolds]

Sure it stands up. New PS2 Stand (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3387543) Not sure if works standing up and I dont think Iam willing to try with my new one.

:wacko: Get a tape measure

[StealthAlero99]

Any other ideas of where it would fit? a tape measure will only give me an IDEA of where to put it, since the top opens and everything.......

[Vtolds]

Mount it in your trunk and run controller extensions up to the front and mold them into the dash along with a reset and ON/OFF switch.

I have a 2.4 ghz wireless remote, but i don't want it to be in the trunk........ any other ideas...is there a way to make the glove compartment bigger?

[HAZED]

what if u could mount it in the center console just underneath the stereo by the shifter. then that would mean u would have to make a new center console... is that a cool idea?

u cant run extensions from the power/reset


its a cable ribbon.....im working on extending mine now

[StealthAlero99]

that would be sweet if i could mount it in front of the shifter, but i don't think it would fit there (too wide).... hmmmm i will have to work something out win i get it, then i will post were i put it.

why don't you just gut the glove compartment and put it in there...build a housing so you can still let air get behind it and make it so you can still open and close the door?

[Silentalero]

just a thought?

[johny_boy32]

silent, you need the cordless controllers, it would get rid of those tacky wires

its not there anymore

my ps2 is gutted and im molding it inot the back end of the center console, lol


but ya my controller wires are being soldered through the rear of the controller ports :)

[Vtolds]

You can mount a mini under the dash like that becuase the top open like the old PSX/PSone. I guess he could stand it up and from what I ahve heard they do play standing up.

I like this idea i might try it when i get the new ps2 (getting it for my bday feb 19th). thanks for the help and if you have more ideas lemme know. Also i have the wireless, so it doesn't have to be too close.

[johny_boy32]

its a good place for it if you don't use your glove compartment, just make sure it looks nice. This way nobody will ever know its in there if you can still close it.

[HAZED]

do the wireless controller even work with the glove door shut??? just i thought i would want to be having the glove door open everytime

[StealthAlero99]

yeah mine does, i mean it works through like 4 walls..... so i think it will.

[HAZED]

did u finaly find a place for the ps2?

[StealthAlero99]

LOL sorry, not yet i don't have it yet..... bday is sat, so i will get it then, and then i will try to find a spot. But i want to find something unique so i dunno, i will let you guys know when i do it and i will have some pics!

[Vtolds]

I wonder if it can play upside down? you could mold it into the headliner. :wacko:

[FormulaNERD]

does the disc rest in there, or does it clip in like a walkman?

[Vtolds]

Clips in

[FormulaNERD]

should play in any position fine then.

[Vtolds]

I just flipped mine over and tried it, and guess what it just killed the disk I used. :wah:














































































J/k it plays fine :thumbsup:

[StealthAlero99]

hmmmmmm, but even if it is upside down i dunno where it could be placed to look good. Once i get it i will try a few different spots out, take some pics and see what you guys think. Thanks for all the help guys,

Chris

[HAZED]

i have an idea to add if u could play it upside down and nothing goes wrong what about placing it in between the sun visors B)

[Vtolds]

You could redo your headliner and also cover the ps2 mold it right into the headlinner just leave the top exposed enough that you cant hit the open and power button amd you could use some nice wireless controllers.

[mike2002]

it should be in the manual, if it plays upside down without any future problems....you could contact sony just to see if there's any reason it couldn't be mounted upside down

Does the network thing detach? never seen one in person

whatabout in the armrest console...might fit in there, flush with the top, but there'd be alot of wasted space below it (or room for your power converter/any other extra wiring..... brain box for your tv deck (if thats what your using)
