My IS currently has the video in NAV mod, VAIS and rear DVD headrest screens which can feed the front VIDEO source. I am looking to put a PS3 in the car but it seems like there really is no place to put it except the trunk. The ski passthrough is not really big enough for any custom mount and the PS3 is too big for the glove box. Anyone have any ideas. All I really need is the front part of the PS3 to show so I can switch games.

 

mount it on the passenger side against the center console.

 

Did you mean the carpet covered area below the center console. Wow is there is enough room there? I want to be able to put it back to stock in a few years so I want to get the cut out right so I can replace it in the future. I tried to attach a pic for reference but i cant for some reason.

 

Can you use this pic to reference where I should put it? thanks

 

a ps3 is pretty damn big lol...

 

right here. this was where i was going to mount my 360 with the wires exiting the side of the seat and under the carpet.

 

that would take up 1/3 of that seat lol

 

IMO, trunk. Any other place that is visible, you're just inviting theives to come steal your PS3. I wouldn't even leave loose change visible in my car....

 

i know but DGAF, i aint ever sittin there!

 

upper side of trunk maybe?

 

ya its going to get jacked if its visible...especially in ny well if u live in one of the major cities... one of my friends got her cell phone jacked there right out of her hands when she was using it 0.o

 

trunk otherwise its free for someone to take!

 

I had a ps2 in my last car and i put it on the center of the rear deck. I know the sub is there in this car, but you may be able to do something with it back there.

Otherwise, not sure where else you could install it and keep it clean. What about cutting out the center part of the rear seat ski-through plastic and mounting it in the trunk? You could feed the cables through for the controllers, have enough room for games and it would be extremly clean looking. Just an idea...

Another idea, how much cushion is below the rear seats? if there's a enough room, you could building a steel case under the rear seat, mount it in there and put the seat over it (with small cutout for wires, games, etc).

 

The PS3 has a tough shape. It appears to be tough to put it anywhere without sticking out like a sore thumb. The ski pass through is not really big enough without heavily modifying the middle section including the leather above the ski pass for it to fit the PS3. I will look into below the rear passenger side seat for a possibility below the seat but i fear the stick out which is about 2 1.2 inches would mess with the leg room of a rear passenger. My last option is trunk mount like they do CD changers up high or just install game port with inverter mount and let it sit in the area by the ski pass so I can always change games through there. Thanks for everyone who gave me suggestions.

 

i say trunk mount the controlers are wireless just run a hmdi
