Why wouldn't it be possible?
The BMW TV is the same as your home TV
You connect the new digital receiver to the AV input, same as on your home TV.
The best model for the car will have the following features:
1. Direct 12V power supply
2. Remote infra-red eye capability
3. Screw on antenna socket (ie: vibration proof)
4. Small in size to allow for easy mounting
I am sure Bimmernav.com are considering making a plug-in wiring kit available :-)
NOTE: a moving vehicle is a different situation to a static home receiver, so these home receivers only work to about 10 or 20 kmph, then the picture breaks up.
To resolve this problem a diversity (dual) tuner is needed. They exist in Europe, but I haven't seen any for the USA market yet.
