As for the cable there is offcourse expensive OEM cable, but you can use standard audio stereo cable with 3,5 plug and RCA on other end. It wil provide Mono sound on the red RCA and Video feed on the other one White or Black depending on cable type.
Tv switch wil when pressed change one tv station forward.
Weard thing is that You have to watch TV on main unit to get the fead on av output, so you cant listen to CD or radio while back passengers watch TV (unless u have Tv in motion module with that function) There is actually a thread about this input/output, where people have tried using it for ipod.

Wow. I'm totally confused, so please help me understand. Here are my questions.
1. I understand that you already have a factory TV tuner installed. So my understanding is that one of the front seat occupants needs to select "Television" on the nav display in order to watch tv, but then to change the channel you need to press the TV button that is on the rear of the center console, as though it was specifically for rear seat occupant use only. Is this correct? because it sounds incredibly weird.
2. The AV connector has an output and an input. If the tv tuner is already set up in the car, then doesn't it already have sound that comes through the cars speakers? If so, I don't understand how this connector works at all !?!?
3. Do you have ANY manuals or instructions that talk about this system that you can post (or send me) so that I can figure this out?
4. Do you happen to know the BMW part numbers for the cables that connect to the Input and Output of the AV connector, because I have searched everywhere and have never come across anything.

As a side point it really pisses me off that BMW builds the X5 in the USA, yet figuring out the A/V setup in non-USA cars is like planning a trip to the moon!
