Extra connector in console? Also, did the connectors at the end of the cables you plug in have a gummy material around them for anyone who has done this installation?

I saw the extra connector on the back of the console too. It must be a spare test or software program connector. The gummy material looks like some type of RTV sealant on the connectors. The connectors are keyed so be careful when installing and don't try to force them if they don't seem to fit. One of the connectors is red so it's important to mate it with the other red connector. The remaining white connectors are either unique, or in the case of the hand pulse cables, it doesn't matter which position they are in.

I downloaded an aftermarket application and driver bundle called "TV Expert" to get mine to work. It's a little glitchy, but my kids can now play games from an external console through it.

Yeah, I ended up buying component cables for my consoles. The only problem is the game cube is now B&W; since I plugged it's video cable in the first component input. Not an issue, I can use the Wii to play them if needed...Thanks for the reply!

hey thanks for the reply. Do I need to buy another cable to make the connection ?

No, we didn't put one in, in any case. We connected ours to our media center speakers (5.1 system) and it worked out right away. We did have to get one of those banana plug connector things that connect 2 male banana plugs (sorry I'm the wife, not the tech person) to be able to connect it to the system. We use it with the xbox 360 console for Rocksmith. Not sure if any of this info helps :-/

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Same with what the others said, you should have left over wire actually. i have a 02' taurus (very long car) and my power cable was long enough, and RCA cables were way more than long enough, ground wire is kind of short (which is actually better to ground).

I believe to do that you need to do it before you even add anything in. You must remove the hard drive bays and maybe reroute some wires. I'm not 100% haven't actually done it myself so I hope someone else can answer your question.

That product is the biggest waste of money in the world. What is on the package looks nothing like what you will receive. I tried it and threw it in the garbage in the same day. I would look for a different console to be honest with you

The Only Problems I Had Was When I Was Preparing To Make The Hard Drive Installation, I Dis-Engaged The Case Hard Drive Operating Light Connection.After Replacing The Connector In It's Proper Socket, The Other Problem Was I Had To Reduce The Height Of The Rubber Pad That cushions The Hard Drive.After Cutting Down That Rubber Pad Every Thing Was Fine The Hard drive Slides In To Sata Connector. Replace The Hex Head Screws In To The top Cover,Initalize The Hard Drive And All's Well. I Don't Exactly Understand The Blind Installation Comment. You Don't Need To Open The Bottom Cover, Cheers & Semper Fi.

I did not hook mine up, however it must have since no one was complaining about the installation. Good Luck!

Unplug the factory a/v plug and the new cable look the same and fit in the same location. The plug connector is in the back, middle section of the xbox. Connects next to an hdmi connection. To me the connection resembles a very large hdmi plug. Goodluck

No, Question for you. Did you use all 20ish feet of wire that shipped with the speakers, If so, that is most likely your problem, use as short of wire are possible to reduce the chances of electrical signals feeding into the speaker wire. I took that wiring and threw it in the garbage, grabbed some slightly thicker wire cut it to about 5 inches for signal and ground then soldered the crap out of everything and covered it with shrink wrap. I also reused the OEM connectors.

No. And the console didn't work. I used the cords that came to hook up to a previous console I already had.

Yea mine had the mounting sleeve and the harness. Make sure you take out your old sleeve completely else it wont fit. As for the wiring harness how my system was set up I had to strip the old harness from the car's stereo and reuse it because I didnt have both male an female sides for the harness; I only had one side. It's not much work though.

If the console is gonna be permanent just don't hook it up to the other headrest. Or if you don't care if both play off one disk make the inputs available to reach and you can hook up what ever you want... VGA hookup (yellow, red, white) is required so some adapters may be required for newer gaming systems.
