360 Install Tips

Compatibility:

The latest info available is that the newest all-black Microsoft Xbox 360 controllers (part #X16-87925-01) are not compatible with the current versions of the IntensaFIRE. The manufacturer, BGR Mods, is working on a new version which will be compatible. If you don't have the packaging for your controller to check the part number, they are the black controllers which have black charge and headset ports (instead of gray).


If You Plan To Use Solder to Install Your IntensaFIRE:

We strongly recommend that you read this Xbox 360 Soldering Tutorial first.


Sync Area:

If you are installing the IntensaFIRE 2.0 on a CG controller, you will need to be careful that you only bridge or glue the sync contact to the middle pin. If any solder or glue is touching either the left or the right pin, then the mod will not work and you will not be able to sync your controller.

The contact on the IntensaFIRE board is very close to the middle pin, so take your time and make sure not to let any glue or solder touch the actual sync button housing either. Glue is represented in red on the example picture below.

Right Trigger Connection:

If your mod comes on, but the triggers are not working correctly (or at all), then it is very likely that you have bridged two or more of the contact points on the right trigger area of the IntensaFIRE board.

The three pins must each be completely separate, with no contact between any of them (the metal ring or the pin). Each ring must be glued or soldered to its own appropriate pin and nothing else, as shown in the picture below. (Glue is represented in red.)
