The new digital TV tuner is a physically separate box
It "integrates" with the existing analogue TV tuner, because the analogue TV tuner provides the AV-in facility, and shows "Television" on the main nav menu
It you remove the original analogue TV tuner, you will
1. Loose the native AV-in facility
2. Loose the AV-out facility
3. Loose the reverse camera facility
4. Loose the "Television" option on the main nav screen (great to show guests that yes, the car _does_ have TV)
So to connect the digital TV tuner _without_ the BMW analogue TV tuner requires fitting of new video-on-nav interfaces.
Hence my recommendation is always to KEEP the old analogue TV tuner, and add the digital TV tuner to the AV-input - which, when you think about it, is exactly what you do at home with your home TV...
