Perhaps a stupid question, but... Is your HDD still working in your car?
Because I had one HDD with the same symptoms than yours... HDD out of order!...

The following is do at you own risk. - I especially don't want to see in the News "Stereo hack attempt with freak 12 volt accident that killed him trying to remove a hard drive while turned on.... Advice gotten from forum".
But that is basically what you will have to do if you want to use that particular machine.
Boot with the original HDD with xboxhdm boot disk.
push 3 I think the option was but don't push enter.
pull out the HDD and connect MMCS HDD carefully but quickly and gently (if you can do that at the same time) so you don't short etc. push enter and carry on.
Don't blame me if it goes wrong :-) but she'll-be-right-mate ;-)
