For those who have a PS2 in their WRX

Ive been thinking a lot about doing interior moods recently and putting in an LCD along with a Playstation 2 in the car.

I know a lot of people have already done this, so I was wondering.. where the heck do did you decide to put it? O.o

Im thinking inside the glovebox would be friggin awesome, but the glovebox is relativly small and it doesnt seem possible. Unless the newly designed PS2 is small enough..


"Approximately 230 mm (W) ×28 mm (H) ×152 mm (D)"



that leaves the only other option to be under the seat, which I think would suck cause I live where it snows... and ya... I dont wanna get my PS2 all wet.

so ya.. where did you guys put it and what are some clever ideas (cause I know there are some really clever kids out there)

dash (depending on size)
glovebox(depending on size)
center console (depending on size )

that new ps2 is super friggen small i dont think you would have a problem wit hit on a glove box maybe a little bit of custom modding like a few cuts here and there

yeah if you can get away with putting it in the glovebox without it looking "hack" and ghetto

do it. that would be teh win

if i had the time, i would out one of the original ps2's in fold down arm rest in the back seat. the glove is still a little small for the new ps2. it opens up like a portable cd player so u gotta make room for that plus the controllers. some customization would definitely be in order.

The old motorized tray would be nice under the seat... the newer one, with it's pop top lid, may be a little awkward if mounted underneath the drivers or passengers seat. I was thinking of this mod too - I have a 7" LCD screen that might just fit underneath the dashboard clock area and has a built-in TV tuner.

Good luck if you go ahead with this.

my buddy did that to his 2002 bmw m5. in the rear fold down arm rest, the m5's came with a stitch. so the shop took apart the xbox and hooked it up to where the square part (front of armrest) the ejection was. it was pretty tight. lot of money, but nice idea.

Dude, compared to that controller, I think it would fit in the glove box. Correct me if im wrong, but thats like 9 inches long by 6 inches wide. I didnt know they made it that small. If not the trunk is the next best thing cuz under the seat will get messy, and I dont think it would look clean anywhere else. Also, this is kinda ghetto, but you could put it on the rear dash (or whatever you call it). Maybe a nice little custom holster back there? Might work, just imagining stuff in my head.

I have the old style PS2 and it fits perfectly under the passenger seat. It's just a little awkward to get to when changing CD's, but after a while you master doing it while sitting in the drivers seat. It is annoying when people sit in the back and kick it with their feet accidentally, but besides that nothing too bad has happened, and it's not like I have passengers back there all that often. It's also very stealthy underneath there as you can't really see it from outside the car. I have mine wedged in there and not permanently bolted down so I can remove it whenever I need to, it's really a perfect fit underneath, sits really snug and doesn't move around at all.

u talking about the xbox? the shop did it so only the eject tray came out out of the back center arm rest. they took it apart and wired it so when it was re insterted, itll play. it was tight too. wish he hadnt sold the car.

I might actually try that instead of getting the newer PS2 and trying to somehow put it inside the dash. the ONLY thing im worried about is winter / when its raining.

cause snow + rain + electronics = bad...very bad.

so thats why I wanted to go with the glovebox. but then again... if I go with under the seat, I can just get a universal av cable and just swap the PS2 for an XBOX (Without having to rewire anything) or vice versa with no problem at all
