Iron Man 360 install continues, test fit into the dash of the Eagle Talon, and control panel for 360

Iron Man 360, update on test fit and update on Control panel.

The Xbox 360 on the dash is a tight fit overall. I this picture the 360 is sitting inside the enclosure. The unit is sitting about 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower that it will once it has been mounted. This is to promote airflow out the bottom cooling fans and leave room for video and power cables. Three screws across the top, on in the top left hand corner, and two on each side of the DVD drive. These are already original mounting points within the original case an Xbox 360 is sold in from the factory.

This is the straight forward view from the passenger seat. Agian this is the 360 about 3/4 inch lower that is will be mounted. The entire cd window will be visible when mounted after the finishing and primer is done. I am sure you noticed there is some kind of hole busted in the left corner of the glove box cover. This is where I removed the original xbox button that use to be installed with the original xbox we use to have. Since this advertantly was insterted in the update I will continue by showing what is going on with the glove box cover.

A better view from the passenger door, more of what an ouside spectator would see.


The original xbox button was here but before I fully removed It I took pictures to show how the original power of button and eject button was.

Comparison of the 360 power button in relation to the original xbox button. Since the Xbox 360 can eject the disc from the user interface, by selecting it with the remote control, there is no need to install another eject button. Note: the usb door will not be included in the 360 interface from the front of the glove box.

Ultimatly the xbox button will replace the old one , but it seems somewhat plane to only have the power button, so I descided to include the majority of the Xbox 360 faceplates features.

This is the configuration that I am going to use. The power button will be aligned with the two memory car doors, IR eye and Bluetooth button. Tbe power button will be about 3/4 inch closer to the doors and eye as I am holding them right here. The DVD tray hole ofcourse will not be included.

This is the configuration I am going to use. There is no cd tray here and each button and door will have the lip hollowed out around the edges. Once plexiglass is cut in a shap to wrap around each door they will all be lit with leds. I will have either green and red or blue. I can change what color all leds with light with a simple switch. This is mostly due to restrictions on the use of red and blue in a street legal vehicle. The two memory car doors I do not believe I will use for memory cars , but USB jacks a very easy to extend and mount inside the memory car bays.
