I would suggest looking at this FAQ page (http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_2_rin_mystery.txt) on GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com).

Ok, to pin Rin you must:
1. Talk to the Al Bhed woman, who controls all the machina, on the Mi'ihen highroad in Chap. 1.
2. Enter the travel agency, during chapter 2 after the "Cuckoo for Chocobos" mission and see Rin leaving.
3.During the "Machina Mayhem" mission in Chapter 3, destroy seven or more machina to successfully complete the mission, at which point you will see Rin in the background.
4. After the "Machina Mayhem" mission, go to the newroad (north) and meet Shinra.
5.During the "Detective Rin" event in Chapter 4, watch commsphere 7 and see Rin and an Al Bhed woman watch a small machine, and call Rin at the same time.
6.During the detective Rin event watch commsphere 5 until the picture turns black after a short time and then call Rin when you watch commsphere 4 and see Rin doing something to a hover in the distance.
7. After you have done all of that, repeatedly call Rin in a place where nothing is happening until he stops coming.
I got all of that out of my strategy guide. Hope it helps, because i've hurt my neck typing all of this.

thank you, emily! i'll try it. how long does it take for commsphere 5 to turn black?

[Emily52]

To be honest, i have no idea! I got Rikku to be blamed for it.
EDIT: I just checked my book and i think it's five. Not sure.
I think you should do it in this order:
2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8.

[negareboshi]

the commsphere didn't black out...
do you mean watch the commspheres in that order?

[Emily52]

I THINK SO, YEAH

[negareboshi]

Just watch them, without calling rin? (he can only be called 8 times). sry, i know this is annoying... i wanna see gippa's sphere though.

[Emily52]

Only call him when i said you should call him. (In the list)
Ok, now i'm confusing myself. *thinks it out in head*
Right, watch it in this order:
2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7=call him, 8, 8, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4=call him, 4, 5, 5=watch this, 6, 8. Then call him in places where nothing is happening until he stops coming.
I think this is what you have to do.

didn't quite work out for me... sucks. thanks for your help, anyway. i must've done something wrong earlier...
